Nestled amidst the vineyards of Castillon and a mere 9.4km from Saint Emilion, La Maisonnee Girondine extends a very warm welcome to all who wish to explore the treasures that this region has to offer. Built in 1837, this sandstone house has been lovingly restored and renovated into a 5 bedroom Bed and Breakfast which remains wholly respectful to the traditional Girondine fashion.
This is our 3rd trip to this charming B&B. We always receive the warmest welcome. You always feel looked after and like you are an old friend. The house is always clean and homely. Elle is a great baker and provides a lovely fresh breakfast. The pool is a great space to chill. We will definitely return again

I enjoyed a large quiet comfortable bedroom with en suite. Ellie was the perfect host for the 6 days I was there she always ready to help and advise on the local area including the vinyards and restaurants. The meals were excellent as was the local wine. Thank you Ellie for your hospitality a return visit is already planned.

Absolutely lovely stay. Ellie was the perfect host and nothing was too much trouble - from hot chocolate at breakfast to tips for what to see during the day and where to eat night. The house was absolutely beautiful, with a lovely huge room, with a super comfortable bed. Garden and surroundings were lovely, and definitely helped us to relax! Beautiful places to visit nearby, wonderful location. Thank you for a lovely stay - we will be back.

We are currently enjoying a perfect stay here. Ellie the host couldn't be more accommodating and made us feel welcome start to finish. The breakfast was extensive and perfectly served and delightful. Ellies hospitality was second to none and St Emilion itself is truly picturesque. Thank you we will be back! And P.S the pictures do not do this place justice it is finished to a perfect standard and so much love and attention has been put in.

Such a beautiful, peaceful and very pleasant stay at Ellie’s place with my Mother. Ellie is a great host and nothing is too much for her. The rooms are all immaculately clean, the pool and garden area is so pretty and quiet. Great breakfast with a selection of croissants, bread (from the local bakery) homemade jams, yoghurt, fruit, muesli. And a good selection of teas, herbal teas and coffee. We are already planning our next trip back! Thank you so much Ellie x

Old fashioned good service is what the landlady provides with a big hearted smile! The rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean with good linen on comfortable beds. Not air conditioned, but wasn't necessary at all. Welcomed with cups of tea and lemon drizzle cake, seen away with a super breakfast in the morning. Nothing was too much trouble, not only making a restaurant reservation in nearby St Emilion, but taking us there to avoid the taxi! We're already considering coming back for a week with friends next year!

Thank you Ellen for our lovely stay back in September - been meaning to do this review ever since! Comfy bed, spacious and accessible bathroom (just a small step into the shower), yummy breakfasts and so on and so on. It was so good to be in your large room after so many small hotel rooms, and to enjoy the sunlight streaming in from the garden.

Ellie and her partner were attentive to our every need. The breakfasts were plentiful and delicious in a relaxing, friendly environment. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the area taking the opportunity to explore local places. Tip - the station at Castillon is only 5 minutes away with free parking so much easier to access Bordeaux for a day trip.

Our stay at La Maisonnee Girondine was perfect. The property is simply stunning with five gorgeous rooms - each with their own en-suite bathroom - a communal dining room, and even a pool. Each room is exceptionally clean, light and spacious. Ellie and her partner are so warm and welcoming, they really make you feel at home and nothing is ever too much trouble. They are full of recommendations for great places to eat in the local area and there is plenty of information on the area provided in the welcome pack in each room. The breakfast at La Maisonee Girondine is an absolute winner. Ellie makes a number of jams and compotes herself from fruits in the local area; the bread comes from a boulangerie in the next town where guests are encouraged to visit the bakery's wood-fired oven and even help bake if the mood takes! Fresh fruit, local meats and cheeses are also on offer. Guests are welcome to use the breakfast area and wine glasses and corkscrews are provided if you wish to drink any of the wine that you will undoubtedly end up purchasing. I would definitely recommend a stay at La Maisonee Girondine if visiting the region and I look forward to a return visit!
