Chateau Lavergne Dulong, Bordeaux, France

Chateau Lavergne Dulong sits in a working Chateau and is run seamlessly by Sylvie Dulong.  Madame Dulong took over the running of the Chateau in 2008 from her father.  She renovated the rooms and turned this beautiful Chateau into a charming guesthouse with 4 guest bedrooms.  

Our room was large, around 65sqm and a lovely mix of modern and traditional.  My brother and sister in law had the room next door which was similar in size and also beautifully thought out, the decor and furnishings were second to none.  Bathrooms modern and bright. 

Madame Dulong serves evening meals on most nights.  Candles are lit, the food is restrained and local.  Fresh, tasty food of the region.  

The landscape of the surrounding land and villages is stunning in this part of France.  We were there in Autumn and the grape vines had a golden hue that blended with the landscape giving the whole area a glow that I personally found incredibly beautiful.  One of the most beautiful times of the year to see this area if the weather is good (as it was for us) because the yellow hues give an ethereal feel.

I will put some more photos up but I'm having difficulty locating them for some daft reason so I simply at this point in time am unable to do this place the justice it deserves!
