Super convenient, super central.

Quiet spot a stone’s throw from the historic centre, surrounded by tobacco fields and a vineyard.

Revamped 18th-century townhouse seamlessly blends historical character with all the mod cons.

Smack in the centre of charming Old Bordeaux.

Peruse the markets in search of ingredients for your evening meal (soon to be whipped up in your well-equipped kitchenette).

Less than a 20-min walk to the Cité du Vin (proclaimed a 'Guggenheim to wine'), where you can take your vin know-how to a whole new level.

Soak up not just vino but history in this 19th-century mansion in a vibrant corner of wine country.

Tucked on the edge of the city centre with free WiFi to keep ya in the social loop.

Breakfast is free. Hurray!

Tram to the city centre stops right outside — hit the town without having to park there!

The name is no joke: the plush 18th century-inspired guestrooms, stately architecture and top-notch service are grand, indeed.

Scores you a riverside address right by a tram stop, a lovely resto-and-shop-dotted street & the famed La Cité du Vin (a high-end wine museum).

Located in a quiet town quite convenient to the Bordeaux region.

Refurbished rooms means your stay is even more cosy.

Low-key stay an effortless 1km from the airport, and just 15 mins from the centre.

Warm and embracing stay ideally set in a quiet area directly off the Bordeaux-Arcachon-Spain route.

Free WiFi is always a nice-to-have.

Gardeny, tree-filled setting near Bordeaux vineyards and the Cité du Vin museum.

Can you live without free WiFi? Sure. Do you want to? Nope. So they've got it.

Just 100 giant steps from the TGV station. Totally doable, even for the souvie-laden traveller (talkin' to you, shot glass collector).

Short drives to some of the best vineyards in the French countryside (and that's saying something).

Dining options abound. Hit the Iguana for goin’ all-out gourmet, or the cheery brasserie for something more low-key. (Also: wine bar!)
