Scenically set inside an eight-hectare park right next to the eponymous wine estate. A 1.5 km bicycle ride to the affiliated hotel Les Sources de Caudalie and the prestigious vineyard Château Haut Smith Lafitte will take you past vineyards and forests.
Ambience
Princess for a while! Wake up in the morning to birdsong or the delicious scent of pastry fresh out of the oven. Enjoy your first cup of coffee while looking out of the window at the manor pond where the swans are gliding majestically across the water.

Château Le Thil Hotel, Martillac

Well hidden behind a massive iron gate with copper lanterns lies this historic estate from 1737, once the summer residence of Bordeaux's governor Lodi Duffour-Dubergier. No expense was spared to restore the quaint little manor. High ceilings, ancient fireplaces, heavy chesterfield sofas and chandeliers grace the genteel parlours. Antiques mingle with modern furniture in perfect harmony. The guest rooms are decorated with beautiful floral-print wallpaper. The vine-over-swan theme on the wallpaper picks up on the imagery of the manor's vast park which even includes a pond. One thing blends into another so seamlessly that you can hardly tell indoors from outdoors.
Price range
The place has been given a good once-over! It is a perfect blend of ancient and new, cosiness and splendour.
No 24-hour service as in the neighbouring luxury hotel Les Sources de Caudalie.
