Chateau Tanesse de Tourny

Encrico is a warm and considerate host, supported by Valentino, together they make an excellent team, and our stay was an absolute pleasure. The property is beautiful, rooms are comfortable and the food prepared is delicious.

Enrico and Valentino created an unforgettable experience and a joy.

Wow! From the moment we drove through the gates and were welcomed by Valentino, we were blown away. The property is stunning from the outside but is surpassed by what the owners have done to decorate the inside. Each room is breathtaking and the service of nightly orderves left us totally impressed. The final piece de resistance was the amazing meal that Val served up to us, complete with specially selected wines. We were so grateful for the assistance we were provided with arranging our daily visits to nearby attractions as well. We don’t get to France much but we will be visiting again whenever we can.

Château Tanesse de Tourny is nothing short of a fairytale. As we approached, the grandeur of the château took our breath away , and the perfectly manicured gardens create a scene that feels timeless. The property is impeccably maintained, with centuries-old charm carefully preserved, yet all the modern amenities are thoughtfully integrated for guests’ comfort. The interior is just as spectacular. Each room has been curated with a sense of history and style, from the opulent chandeliers to the delicate, antique furniture. Every corner of the château tells a story, and you can’t help but feel you are living a part of it. Our bedroom was spacious, luxurious, and filled with natural light, offering a perfect blend of romantic charm and modern comfort. What truly made our stay unforgettable, however, were the owners, Valentin and Enrico. Their warmth and hospitality are unparalleled. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel not like guests, but like family. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, offering local insights, arranging wine tastings, and even preparing a delightful home-cooked meal with fresh ingredients from their garden. Their passion for the château and the surrounding region is contagious, and they generously shared fascinating stories about its history, adding layers of meaning to our visit. I miss them already! I can’t wait to return to this beautiful experience!

We loved our stay here! Enrico and Valentino were wonderful hosts who looked after us beautifully, ensuring our stay was comfortable, unique and with a homely charm. The chateau itself is beautifully decorated and in a great location for day trips around the Bordeaux region. We highly recommend a stay here!

Château Tanesse de Tourny: A Portal to 13th-Century Elegance and 21st-Century Luxury in Bordeaux Let us state this from the outset: We do not tread lightly when it comes to the quality of establishments we review. And the Château Tanesse Tourny earns its accolades in what can only be described as a harmonious marriage of history and modernity. A Journey Back in Time We embarked on our trip the way Marco Polo might have had he been armed, in our case we did it with a Ford Mustang Mach E, from Sixt, instead of ancient maps and sextants. Our electric chariot transported us and another couple into the lap of history—an ethereal 13th-century château that has passed through the hands of British proprietors and was once the heart of social soirees hosted by the Marquis de Tourny. A Labor of stewardship Meet Val and Harry, the present-day guardians of this historical treasure. Having helmed top-rated eateries in Italy’s Veneto region, these hospitality virtuosos undertook a three-year odyssey to rejuvenate the château. The end result is more than commendable—it's an inspired labor that breathes new life into a relic, transforming it into a sanctuary of contemporary luxury. The Pursuit of Ikigai With Val and Harry, one encounters an enviable blend of passion, experience, and results—components of the Japanese concept of Ikigai.

overlooking hectares of vines , the owners of this beautiful chateau have imbued it with its own unique and exotic style. Our room was large and bright with double shuttered windows that looked out toward the river.The bathroom with very generous shower, was well set out. The king size bed was extremely comfortable, we slept well. Downstairs the lounge and dining areas were stylishly in keeping with the rest of the Chateau. However the real star of the Chateau is co-owner Valentino, charming, interesting and always obliging. His knowledge of the area was always super useful and his drinks on the terrace in the late afternoon and his fabulous breakfast will be remembered long after we return home.
