At the door step of Saint Emilion, 35 minutes from Bordeaux, with all the touristic sites near by, an old Wine Catle of the 17th century was transformed with passion in 2010 to become the Domaine de Bel Air Carpe Diem.
This building dated from 1682, situated in the heart of Entre Deux Mers, offers 4 bed and breakfast or rooms en suite renovated in a contemporary atmosphere.
Spacious with beautiful harmonies combining elegance and calm, the rooms are all located in a wing of the house, each with a private entrance.
The hotel features a headed swimming pool and its pool house with views of the vineyards.
