This B&B is located right in the town centre within a stroll of the restaurants and bars. It is also within an easy stroll of the Citadel, a17th century fortification and Unesco World Heritage site. Blaye itself is situated on the banks of the Gironde Estuary, with easy access to the vineyards of Cotes de Blaye, and by ferry (a... More

For our 20th wedding anniversary we took a two week tip through France, and our stay with Leslie, Julian and Clarissa may go down as the greatest highlight. Great hosts, exceeding expectations and informing about the great region. Great pastries in the morning as a topper.

Second stay at St Simon. We even made sure we could book in before confirming our intention visit Blaye for the Printemp de Vin. Very convenient for the Citadelle and the wine tasting - we did not need to use our car the whole weekend! The rooms are really tastefully decorated and very light and airy. Les and Clarissa (the...

Our family of five stayed (3 older teenagers) in the three bedroom apartment at Villa St Simon in early January and we had a fantastic time. From our welcome at Bordeaux airport to being dropped off at Bordeaux train station four days later we were made to feel at home and welcome. We indulged in breakfasts at the villa a... More

My husband and I got to enjoy a private getaway to the Bordeux area in October and stayed here. The staff were lovely, funny people, and we enjoyed a tour into St. Emilion with them, as well as a private wine tasting in the hotel's cellar. Restaurant recommendations were good, and the room was comfortable.

Stayed here on the advice of trip advisor and the great reviews were all true. We rented the 3 bedroom apartment style suite with the kitchen since we had 4 adults and a 2-year old child with us. The room was perfect for our needs and plenty spacious. Les and Clarissa were so friendly and accommodating, not to mention the... More
