... Well, that's what AJ, our oenologist-guide called it. What a gorgeous place - could imagine it even more stunning in warmer weather to be able to enjoy the beautiful natural pool overlooking the property's 7 acres of classic Bordeaux vineyards. Only 1 km from the touristy St. Emilion, this lovely hideaway boasts comfortable rooms, an ambiance of a home... More

Our stay at Le Relais de Franc Mayne was fabulous. We discovered the hotel from Trip Advisor and all of the wonderful comments were well deserved. It is a beautiful property with GREAT wine! The town of Saint-Emilion is a short walk through the vinyards. The courtyard is a perfect place to relax with a glass of wine in the... More

We toured the wine-making areas, the underground caverns, and did the wine tasting. We did not stay in the hotel. My favorite part was the walk through the extensive undergound caverns and seeing the grapevine roots growing down through the limestone. The guide was very knowledgeable and the wine was very good. Also, we made our own wine tasting reservations... More

Our party of 9 stayed here in three rooms for three nights. St Emilion is a gorgeous medival town and we wanted to spend some time discovering it. This boutique-hotel is located in a vineyard, just a short drive to St Emilion (whoever says it is walking distance is not telling the truth) and caters mainly to non-French tourists -... More

My husband and I checked in on our last night in France. We only had one night here. We stayed in the British Landscape room. It was very pretty. The bathroom was nice. The touches in the room were thoughtful. The staff was friendly and courteous. We loved sitting outside in the VERY comfy chairs with blankets on the back... More

The experience of sitting on the patio at Relais Franc Mayne, sipping on a bottle of wine, enjoyed plates of cheese and pâté while watching the sun set over Pomerol with me sweetie is an experience I will treasure for a long time. We have just completed a three night stay in the black and white room- as stated in... More

We stayed here for a week at the end of July to the beginning of August 11. This place is exactly as described/ Luxury/Rural/Calm/Relaxing and a really fabulous location. If you enjoy walking (which we love) this place is ideal. You can stroll into St. Emilion via an old roman road, through the vineyards - great!! No mad cars/coming at... More

Ok - I ask for a recommendation from a friend for a hotel and he gave me this one. What I failed to ask him was - did he like it and does he have some wierd fascination for terrible decor. I didn't look at the website or review tripadvisor before booking...so I do blame myself. It set in an... More

We arrived at the Franc Mayne and were immediately impressed by the setting. The chateau is impressive - the lounge, the snooker room, the garden and natural pool are all excellent and our room (Asian Mood) was tastefully decorated. The front desk were very helpful on arrival , providing us with some excellent restaurant recommendations for the evening. Unfortunately that's... More
