라 보흐드(La Borde - Teritoria)

A wonderful visit to this beautiful chateau. Everywhere you look you see beauty. In the middle of the Burgundy wine region you stumble upon this slice of heaven. It is a sanctuary of peace and tranquility. The pool was open and a good temperature in the most stunning setting. There are only 6 rooms which gives it an air of exclusivity and privacy. Marieke and Rik are a wonderfully welcoming couple and we enjoyed the most delicious food every night we were there. On the nights there was no supper offered they recommended excellent local restaurants. The bedroom was charming, very comfortable and clean with windows overlooking the gardens. Highly recommended! It’s perfect for a frazzled person who wants to be comforted by beauty and peace. There are many delights including the games room with a glorious view, and the drinking room with the large open fireplace and the honesty bar.

The most fabulous hotel, beautiful location and excellent and attentive staff. The rooms are extremely comfortable with good amenities and very clean. Stunning pool area, with a jacuzzi in a separate undercover area. Fantastic games room upstairs, and we really enjoyed both the breakfasts and the evening meal and the local wines

Absolutely stunning ! We will be back !! Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. The design is absolutely amazing and the staff was most welcoming. The surrounding nature was beautiful and very relaxing we cannot wait to come back this summer to enjoy the 2 pools and the gardens. A bientôt !

This is not a 5-star hotel and certainly not worth the €500+ per night price tag. The grounds are beautiful, but the property is run like a simple bed and breakfast (later searching reveled that it was classified as one until 2019). The owners live on the property and run most aspects of the hotel, including the food service, themselves. This can be a lovely experience, but not here. The couple moved from the Netherlands as a semi-retirement from previous careers and treat the grounds first-and-foremost as their home. There are numerous spoken and unspoken rules that they expect you to follow so that you might have the “privilege” of staying on the property. For example, picnics are not allowed anywhere, despite the presence of over a dozen of picnic tables and the lack of any alternative dining options some nights of the week. They also have posted signs that there is €15 corkage fee, even for bottles enjoyed privately in your own room, despite not having a real bar at the hotel. In a futile attempt to follow this rule, we asked about our own wine for dinner on the second night, expecting to be able to pay the corkage fee and enjoy a local bottle we had purchased. Instead, we were admonished loudly and embarrassingly in front of other guests with: “Do you not understand how restaurants work? You’re American so that must be why you don't understand.” Many high-end restaurants and hotels all across France allow the droit de buchon, particularly those located in wine regions. To understand the attitude that will great you here, I suggest going through the responses to the negative reviews posted here and other sites (something I wish we had done as well). The owners often try to turn the issue into the fault of the reviewer; on more than one occasion, they even resorted to posting unnecessarily personal attacks back at their own guests. For the price of this hotel, you could stay at almost any other high-end countryside hotel in France (such as the Relais & Châteaux properties or Les Domaines de Fontenille) that are run by professional staff with high levels of expertise, service, and hospitality. Our experience at La Borde did come close to matching our experiences at these other properties. I strongly suggest that others avoid it as well.

This was truly a great find. A castle/chateau in the middle of the Burgundy wine region, run by a couple who truly love what they do. We have never been small inn people, but, this inn which has 6 rooms, was luxury. The food, and ambiance were what you would expect. The rooms were large and comfortable, with high end toiletries. The happy hour by the oversized fireplace were so memorable, and the service was great. We can’t wait to come back.

All I can say is wow! We just returned home from 2 incredible nights at La Borde and already look forward to returning. The property and grounds are stunning and Marieke and Rik made us feel so at home. We loved relaxing by the pool, wandering through the expansive gardens, playing tennis each morning, and enjoying Marieke’s delicious cooking. Our room (Safran) was luxurious and spacious. The landscaping is absolutely beautiful. We returned feeling rested and relaxed and so well taken care of. We will be recommending La Borde to all our friends!

My husband and I stayed at La Borde for 5 nights in July 2020. We had a really good stay, the place is beautiful. The food, although overpriced is very good. The rooms are luxurious and we had a great time. We aimed at coming back in May 2021, so in June we booked and paid for a room for end of July for a few nights. Only the day after our booking, I found out that I would have to stay in the UK where I live for much longer than expected given some ongoing health issues, and that my covid vaccine would have to be postponed. We called La Borde to let them know immediately and cancel and explore postponing options. We spoke to one of the owners (the wife) who was extremely rude to us on the phone, and basically hung up on us because she was annoyed. She said “I’m going to cut your short” as my husband was explaining the situation and she ended the call. We were shocked. During our stay in 2020 there were a few occasions when she was a bit too direct and rude, but we decided to ignore it. This goes a step too far however and is an unacceptable way of treating returning customers. She clearly thought we were lying but that is no excuse!!!! Needless to say, despite the beautiful grounds we will never go back to La Borde and won’t recommend it to our friends. Very disappointing especially given the price. We followed up with an email after the call and we’re reimbursed fully, but still. You are running a 5 star hotel - not a playground.

Une propriété époustouflante de beauté avec un charme fou ! Le jardin est incroyable… On s’y sent bien, notre week-end a été une parenthèse enchantée ! Merci aux propriétaires pour leur accueil et leur attention de tous les instants !

Un très bel endroit mêlant tradition et modernité. L'accueil est très prévenant pour se sentir comme à la maison. A la fois un établissement authentique et également fourniture de tous les services d'un hôtel haut de gamme.
