One of my most favorite hotels in all of France - Les Sources de Caudalie -It's Heaven any way you look at it

An award-winning hotel and spa situated in the peaceful surroundings of the Château Smith Haut Lafitte vineyards. 

This country estate is made up of wonderful guest rooms and suites distributed between five quaint cottages, all of which are quintessentially French in décor with plush furnishings, antique collectibles and crisp fresh linen. Many of the rooms open out on to terraces which over look the beauties of either the Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte's vineyards or lake. 

 The spa and hotel are surrounded by vast areas of vineyard, while the beautiful city of Bordeaux is only fifteen minutes away.

 There are two restaurants ( both fabulous!!) , one of which restaurants, La Grand 'Vigne - - is one of the finest in the region. Their other is La Table du Lavoir and is set in a former orangery and is perfect for dining al fresco on their terrace. The mouth watering menu in either will no doubt not disappoint, with fresh seafood delicacies and infamous French deserts. Lastly their wine bar Rouge is great for hearty traditional French cuisine in the style of tapas to be accompanied by the wide 

Bordeaux wine selection and great conversations with the wine hosts. Les Sources de Caudalie boasts a 15,000 bottle wine cellar, and wine tastings with the sommelier offer an excellent introduction to some of the region's best vintages. When you talk about farm to table these days, here it’s really true as you drink a glass of wine, all you need to look 10 feet outside the dining room window and see the vine it was grown on.

 Grapes have proven antioxidant and protective properties, and the Vinotherapy spa combines the use of Caudalie beauty care products with unique therapies such as a Merlot wrap, a Sauvignon massage or a crushed Cabernet scrub. Treatments are on hand to combat ageing, provide total relaxation or even promote weight loss. The hotel also has a cigar room (Hurrahs!) , outdoor swimming pool, gym, and tennis court.
