This is the first time I have ever found reason to post a review online but I would hate for anyone to be as disappointed as we were to find that our room in the Annex at 90 Euros/night was actually what the French call a 'gite' ie a hostel! The floor was sticky, the room and bed damp and we could hear our neighbours snoring next door!

The rest of our family stayed in the main hotel where the rooms were much nicer. However, overall the service was just not to standard. The waiter was keen to please but overwhelmed. The owner not inspiring.

Our flight was delayed and we were simply greeted with a note (it was only 11pm when we arrived so not so late!) and there was no way for us to eat dinner which is highly disappointing after such a long trip.

We had dinner in the restaurant the following night and the food was good so it was not all a bad experience. And the area is beautiful. Just a real shame about the room which somewhat dampened (excuse the pun!) the weekend.

I recently stayed at this excellent hotel about 20 km from Bordeaux. Nestled among the vines, I was there doing some research for my company's 2010 Tour de France trips. Upon arrival, the owner Jean Marc greeted me warmly, made dinner, and we spent about 3 hours talking and laughing away. It truly felt like staying with a good friend. The room was spectacular. Not only large enough to land a plane in but clean as a whistle. I was traveling in the fall and couldn't take advantage of the swimming pool but I'm looking forward to bringing Spyns 2010 Tour de France clients here.

We were looking for a place close in to Bordeaux but a quiet place out in the countryside. Chateau Camiac was the perfect choice. The staff was attentive and we were shown several available rooms. We opted for one in the artfully modernized stables. Our room was air conditioned with a balcony facing the chateau and the open fields beyond. There is a pleasant pool sited on the hill behind the 19th century chateau. Dinner options are limited but the food is excellent (the recommended wine was outstanding). When we left, the host provided a hand-drawn map showing us how to get to the train station, talking the time to explain the route.

We had a marvellous stay at Chateau Camiac. Our host provided us with individual attention, both at the chateau and by helping us with a range of great wine experiences in the districts of Sauternes and St Emilion. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Our meals were of the highest standard, especially dinner which had us wiping our plates with bread!
