NICE TO KNOW

At Château Léognan, you literally sleep among the treetops at a height of 8 to 10 meters? What makes it even better: these three treehouses in the oak forest offer the exact same 4-star comfort as the castle itself. So no roughing it, but a luxurious bathroom, a comfortable bed, and a private terrace with views over the vineyards!

About the rooms

The 19th-century chateau and its estate offer 21 rooms, suites, and lodges. You'll sleep surrounded by soft, warm tones, large castle windows, and views of the greenery. Every room comes with a complimentary minibar, a Lavazza coffee machine, and a spacious bathroom to freshen up after a day out.

Our favourite room

Without a doubt, one of the three treehouses. You'll sleep 8 to 10 meters up, right among the oak trees. They feature the same comfort as the chateau: a proper bathroom with a hot shower, a real bed, and a wooden terrace where you wake up to birdsong in the morning. Prefer staying on the ground? Choose the Prestige room with a private garden, where you can step straight out onto the grass with a morning cup of coffee.

Enjoy a refreshing swim

Outside, you'll find a wooden Nordic bath. Step straight into the warm water with views over the forest. The chateau also has a hammam and sauna to warm up after a walk through the countryside.

Work out and wind down

On this 70-hectare estate, you can go either way. If you like staying active, rent a bike to explore the area, play a match on the padel or tennis court, or take a long walk through the chateau forest. Prefer a slower pace? Book a massage using local grape seed oil, or visit the cellar to taste the chateau’s own wines.

Children

Families are warmly welcomed. There are special family rooms with bunk beds or a separate sleeping corner for the kids. They can spend hours playing outside in the large forest surrounding the chateau. In the spa, you can even book a parent-child massage together.

Food & Drink

For food and drinks, head to Le Manège, the charming bistronomic restaurant housed in the chateau’s former stables. The chef prepares creative dishes using fresh, seasonal, and local produce, with vegetarian or gluten-free options available upon request. In the morning, you’ll start your day with a rich breakfast buffet packed with local treats. Being on an active wine estate, they naturally serve their very own Pessac-Léognan wines. You can enjoy a glass during a cellar tasting, as an aperitif on the terrace overlooking the estate, or simply in the evening in one of the cozy lounge areas.

Caractère review

Château Léognan is a true gem in the Bordeaux region. We chose this address for its intimate atmosphere in the middle of the vineyards, just half an hour from the heart of Bordeaux. Here, you sleep in stylish rooms or a unique treehouse. With the bistronomic restaurant Le Manège, wellness facilities, padel court, and its own estate wines, this property has everything you need to enjoy wine, peace, and culture!
