Château Grattequina Hôtel

Stayed one night in a river view room. Room was very spacious with a large bathroom, overlooking the Garonne river and the pool area. Rafael at reception was very helpful and we were able to get into our room sooner than expected. The chateau is small, but has been elegantly renovated. Breakfast (€22 extra per person per day) was delicious including fresh orange juice, fresh fruit salad and egg dishes made to order. Enjoyed swimming in the lovely heated pool and taking a stroll along the banks of the Garonne. Ordered a salad from the hotel’s limited cold food menu for lunch (at €18 per plate quite pricey). The hotel does not have a restaurant, which is a pity as there are nor restaurants nearby. There is free coffee and water dispensed by machines in the breakfast room as well as a limited selection of wines that can be bought from a chilled cabinet. Again, the prices are high. While the hotel is lovely, it does not have the feel of a traditional one as it is mostly run as an events venue. There was a wedding breakfast taking place on the day we arrived, although it didn’t really impact us as the venue took place outside and in the adjoining events building. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Spectacular, quiet, lovely. Special shout out to Rafael for making our stay extra memorable. We had high expectations for our stay here which were comfortably exceeded.

Superb chateau. Great views over la gironde from the rooms. The chateau has a big park and therefore enjoys total tranquility. The pool area is nicely done, secluded and one can enjoy real swimming as the pool is long enough. Breakfast is nice, too. While they don’t really offer a real dining experience, they should offer help with luggage. That’s a but of a downer of an overall great hotel.
