Hostellerie de Plaisance
Hostellerie de Plaisance lies at the heart of medieval Saint Emilion which is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The architecture is stunning, dominated by an elegant classical theme, often carved from the white stone of the region.

Bedrooms at the Hostellerie de Plaisance are spacious, full of daylight and offer unique perspectives of the village and surrounding vineyards. The atmosphere is elegant and relaxed, while the understated decor, the quality of the materials and the peaceful calm make this a wonderful place to relax at the end of a day among the vines.
