We stayed here for four nights and left feeling like we really had experienced the region and learned a great deal about Bordeaux wines. Les and Clarissa were fantastic hosts and were always so helpful. The room (Rouselle)was large and comfortable. We did the degustation with Les the first night and really learned a lot about the wine of the... More

Last weekend we went to Blaye, in the Bordeaux region, for Blair’s (my husband) birthday. I’d booked a mini-chateau rental, where we could hole up and drink wine, think, paint a few pictures... in fact, it was a dud (remember 1313 Mockingbird Lane? WORSE) Luckily, Blair had done his own reconnaissance via the internet. He'd set his cap for VILLA... More

We had a wonderful, relaxing, and thoroughly enjoyable time at the Villa. They recommended excellent restaurants, led a terrific knowledgable tour of local Cotes du Blaye and Bourg vineyards, and provided a welcoming atmosphere, now with a great little cafe across the street! It's a great old place with a lot of charm, but the real heart of it is... More

They are all very knowledgeable about the local area and the best restaurants to eat at and Les's enthusiasm for wine knows no bounds! The chateaux tours are a must!! Thank you all for a... More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Les, Julian, and Clarissa. They were so welcoming and the villa is spectacular. We kept remarking on how the value for your money is remarkable! While it is hard to find out much about Blaye online, it is a great place to go. The citadel dating back to Roman times is... More

This location is the perfect base from which to explore the Bordeaux wine region. And Clarissa and Les are the perfect hosts. Staying at Villa St. Simone is like staying with family, except that no one in our family knows wine like Les. He has a knack for finding local Bordeaux that is affordable and comparable to wines costing 10... More

Villa St Simon is one of the best B&B we have stayed at. The Rousselle Room was excellent with attention to detail to the finest point. This room has the balcony right accross the front from the bedroom to the bathroom overlooking the park and water edge. The hospitality received from Clarrisa, Les and Jules was unsurpassable, making sure that... More
