Demeure des Girondins - One-Bedroom Apartment

😊: Loved the location the big tall windows and huge comfortable bed. And the air conditioning was a welcome relief in the heatwave.. 😢: The light on the ascend on the final second second flight of stairs sometimes did not activate. I think the sensor is perhaps being blocked by the stuff on top of the cupboard..

😊: It was right in the centre.. 😢: This was our first time visiting Saint Emilion so we did not know what to expect as the flat is above a wine shop. We arrived and were shown up to the flat by a very nice man who gave us the keys. The stairs are very steep to the flat so carrying a heavy suitcase would be a challenge so we decided to go back to our van and take enough clothes for the 2 days in a smaller case. We were advised to drop our suitcase off at the wine shop and pay which would take 2 minutes therefore we were advised to stop in front of the shop. The streets are narrow and busy with the result wherever we tried to pull in we got the horn beeped by impatient drivers as there is not many places to pull in. My partner drove off in the hope of finding a space while I went in to pay. It was during the heatwave so temperature was close to 40 degrees which is very challenging anyway. I entered the shop and was informed there was no one there that could help me as the gentleman had gone to get dessert. I tried calling my partner to let him know we had to wait but there was no signal in the shop. More customers were coming in to have a wine tasting and I was asked to wait to be shown the flat which I tried to say we had already seen and could I just pay and find out where to park over night. I was told to just wait a minute so when I went to leave to let my partner know what was happening I stupidly managed to knock a decanter over from the window display and it broke. I had to pay £250 for breakages! It was very embarrassing but we took the decanter home as it can still be used but not sold off the shelf. We can laugh about it now but I think hotels for us from now on..

😊: Amazing location, big room and great people. 😢: Nothing we disliked.

Wonderful stay in St Emilion.<br>#128578; Beautiful apartment. Spacious and comfortable in a perfect location above the wine shop. Many thanks for the complimentary tasting!<br>#128577; Could have provided more coffee and needed to ask for a key to access washing machine. Very minor issues which don't affect an excellent overall rating.

Spotless and centrally located<br>#128578; Spotlessly clean, centrally located with all amenities catered for! Thank you Cecile!<br>#128577; Stairs were a little steep, so wouldn't suit a buggy or older people most likely.

Good apartment in great location.<br>#128578; Great location. Friendly very helpful owners. The apartment was very comfortable.<br>#128577; Liked everything about the apartment, but if I had to mention something, it would be the steep staircase, but that's Europe!

I can’t imagine a better...<br>#128578; The suite was lovely. Many extra nice finishing touches like the fluffy bath towels and the big windows. So nice to have a little kitchen too! Very good value for our travel dollar.

A wonderful place to stay...<br>#128578; The apartment was fabulously spacious, elegantly appointed, comfortable and well equipped. The shower was the best we’ve found in Europe or, in fact, anywhere. The apartment was very well positioned for restaurants, bars, shops and historical sites. I doubt there’s a better apartment in Saint Emilion. Cecile was a delightful host.<br>#128577; Nothing.

Perfect location and amazing staff!<br>#128578; The staff were extremely helpful. The location was ideal and the space was unbelievable. Amazing all round. The staff were able to store my bags after check out for a few hours too.<br>#128577; Nothing.
