Château Bonalgue - Pomerol

Excellent place for a quiet getaway and it’s a plus if you enjoy good wine!

We loved everything about Château Bonalgue and only wish our stay was much longer. We felt welcomed and at home from the very first minute. The rooms are lovely and very comfortable and the living/breakfast room is warm, bright and beautiful. Guests can use the kitchen. The breakfast of pastries, yogurt, etc. was delicious and the wine tasting was a special treat. If we return to the region we would consider basing here. It’s simple to get to St. Emilion by car or taxi or to Bordeaux and many other destinations by train.

Chateau Bonalgue is located just outside the town of Libourne in the Pomerol wine region. It is an operating winery, offering three nicely sized rooms for guests. There was a large parking area in front of the winery. Eveli did her best to ensure our comfort. We arrived late and used a key box to enter the Chateau (it’s very dark in this area). The next morning, we had to leave early for a guided wine tour and the Chateau left some food out for our breakfast. It was harvest season and we saw the workers head to the vineyard to pick Merlot grapes. Our room was large, clean, and comfortable. This is a restored mansion, so the rooms blend the old with the new. The bath area is modern. What makes the Chateau unique is that we had free rein of the large living room and kitchen. We enjoyed going down early to use the expresso machine. There is also a large area to sit outside. The Chateau offers a free tour of the vines and cellar, as well as a tasting of the wines produced by the family. Adrien was our guide, and the tour and tasting were excellent! With our guided wine tour and this tasting, we felt that we completed a mini class in Bordeaux wines.

Château Bonalgue was extremely convenient to all sorts of destinations. Very clean and well maintained. It is set between vineyards and fields. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.

Sadly we only spent one night here and had to leave very early in the morning. Beautiful accommodation, spotlessly clean and warm and welcoming hosts. We got to do a wine tasting and ordered some of the delicious wine to be shipped to us. Took our own food (wine and cheese and bread) and we’re able to use the kitchen to prepare it all. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you.

Hôtel conveniently located in the middle of Pomerol vineyards, has knowledge and friendly staff. Room has all the amenities you need , and you also can use shared kitchen. We took a toor and wine tasting ( book it ahead of time), and really enjoyed it.
