Charming lodging with personable friendly hosts!! Great stay!!

Peter United States of America

This B&B was exactly what we hoped for. We were in a beautiful location, able to relax, enjoy a working winery and be a part of the family.

Timothy United States of America

Wonderful location on the Dordogne river. The breakfast was excellent, as was the dinner Fabienne and Frederic made for us (all local restaurants closed due to Covid). Vieille Chapelle is a working winery and the wines were excellent. Ours was just a one night stay but we would definitely go back and spend more time there.

Neil Spain

A wonderful stay, in all aspects. The owners are excellent hosts, and look after their guests with attention, despite having a 21 hectare vineyard to manage. Great views, piece and quiet, first-class wine - simply superb! I would rate it 6* if possible.

Adam Poland

High quality layout and decoration of private and public rooms in a 12th century set of buildings. Know lb. Edgeable hosts.

Breakfast was delightful, the chateau was a great place to recover from jet lag and a great base from which to visit the wineries. It was great to taste the wines created on site.

Company info

If we have the taste for contacts and meetings, we are also winemakers engaged in a viticulture that makes sense, Organic and Bio-dynamically. We settled in 2006 after a long stay in Asia. A magical place that seduced us, by its environment (the Dordogne), the architecture (the Chapel) and the quality of the terroir (for the quality of the wines).

Property info

Located in Lugon-et-l'Ile-du-Carney between Bordeaux and Saint Emilion, Château de La Vieille Chapelle is a Bio-Dynamie vineyard around its 11th century Romanesque chapel. It has a garden and terrace with direct views of the Dordogne river. A free tasting of selected wines from the estate is offered every evening from 18:30. All rooms are located in adjoining chapel areas and have direct access to the garden. They feature tiled floors with heated floors, a wardrobe, a large bed and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. They are brightly decorated with an Asian touch, in pastel colors, with curtains and linen sheets. One of the rooms is adapted for people with reduced mobility. A continental breakfast including homemade jams and pastries is served every morning. There is a lounge area with tea and coffee making facilities, wine glasses and wine tasting facilities, as well as books about the area. Free Wi-Fi and free private parking are available on site. The UNESCO-listed cities of Bordeaux and Saint-Emilion are a 30-minute drive away. Restaurants can be found within 10 km of the property. Warning: There is no TV's in the rooms!
