Guest Reviews
- angelika (10/5): -
- Arja (10/5): - Sfeervol pand..
- James (8/5): -
- Janette (10/5): Schot in de roos - Heerlijk charmant hotel, uitstekende ontvangst en fijne tips om kennis te maken met Blaye. Vooral bijbehorende wijnbar op de hoek maakte ons verblijf compleet. Wij waren slechts op doorreis maar vonden villa St Simon een schot in de roos. Niets
- Christian (9/5): très bon séjour - Logement de plein pied tres calme
- Elsa Gaëlle (10/5): Super - Chambre propre et spacieuse
- Primrose (7/5): The hotel was very old fashion, same standard as when I first visited France in the early sixties. - The location was excellent, the town is beautiful, under appreciated by the tourist world. Breakfast was self service in an adjoining kitchen, no hot food. No receptionist to greet me.
- Jon (5/5): Charming, well located hotel that needs some TLC. - Charming surroundings, perfect location, plenty of free parking. Our room could use an overall refresh, bathroom was not clean, dead spiders in the bathtub etc. Coffee and tea station downstairs was a great idea but none of the equipment worked correctly. Coffee machine leaked excessively, no tea kettle for the tea bags, no milk or cream offered etc.
- RENNY (4/5): - Nuit de contrastes. Autant l'accueil de la propriétaire était chaleureux autant la chambre et les communs étaient glacés (panne de chaudière). On peut choisir de conserver un lieu "dans son jus" mais pas jusqu'à ne pas remplacer des rideaux déchirés ou rafraîchir les plafonds lépreux. Dernier aspect négatif pour un logement à ce tarif, l'absence de service de petit déjeuner. Bien qu'idéalement situé à proximité de la citadelle ce logement est d'un très mauvais rapport qualité/prix. Dommage.
- Joanne (7/5): Good - Cool
- Sally (6/5): Pleasant - Friendly hosts. Not easy to park outside. Traffic noise at night. Whilst we were staying, the funfair was on in Blaye. It is very noisy. The people from the fair park their caravans in the park opposite the Villa St Simon.The hosts offered an alternative room but I would avoid staying in Blaye when the fair is on. The hosts need to update their website. They no longer offer breakfast, rooms are not serviced daily and the opportunity to take the host's wine to a local restaurant without corkage is no longer available.
- Joachim (10/5): Vamt omhändertagande av värdparet - Otroligt charmigt ställe och vi blev väl omhändertagna av Les, Clarissa och Stephan. Hotellet hänger ihop med en restaurang, ett galleri och en vingård och vi hade förmånen att få en personlig guidning. En av mina bästa hotellupplevelser någonsin tack vara bemötandet!
- Gordon (9/5): Superb -
- Janine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dean (10/5): Fantastic stay in a beautiful part of the world - Great accommodation with great hosts
- Anne (10/5): extremely enjoyable, wonderful hosts, a fabulous base to tour the region - location, and very hospitable owners
- Helen (8/5): Very good -
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Séjour agréable car hôtel bien situé, pratique car une cuisine équipée ainsi qu'une bibliothèque sont à disposition
- Virginie (10/5): Agréable séjour - Super séjour, propriétaire au top !!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Cette propriété à énormément de charme et est très paisible. L’accueil est formidable
- Verified traveler (10/5): - if you are content with the modular accommodation offered by the Chain Hotels this isn’t the place for you. But if you would like somewhere with character and history both in the Villa and the town then this is the place. The typically French house is divided into several self-contained apartments with free parking opposite which adjoins a small park on the edge of of the Gironde Estuary and near to the huge Citadelle commissioned by Louis X1V in the 18th Century. The welcome extended by the Owners was exceptionl and the common theme in the Guest book was “We wish we were staying longer!”
- Melanie (10/5): Relaxing and lovely - Such a relaxing and lovely location! Highly recommend this over busier locals like Bordeaux. Great market, friendly staff, beautiful views.
- Tatiana (10/5): Gorgeous apartment in Blaye - We stayed for 3 nights in Villa St Simon. The apartment was gorgeous and very clean. The hostess gave us a lot information about the area and places to visit. We really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to go back.
- Stephen (10/5): A quirky hotel brimming with character - A quirky hotel brimming with character and welcoming staff. Faces the estuary in Blaye, there are plenty of good bars and restaurants in walking distance. Perfect for exploring the local vineyards and the Medoc region is just a short ferry crossing away.
- Tim (10/5): We cannot speak highly enough of this appartment - Apartment Margeux was amazing. Clean, spacious and well appointed. Good level of facilities for family self-catering. We were blown away by the high level of dedication and care by the owner and personnel. We cannot speak highly enough of our family stay at this apartment. From when we arrived and throughout our stay the level of customer care was outstanding.
- James (8/5): - If you love original features, a delightful ambiance and great wines, this place is paradise !
- Verified traveler (10/5): Top appartementen voor een heerlijk verblijf - De Villa bestaat uit kamers en in een huis aan de overzijde bevinden zich prachtig gerenoveerde appartementen. Aan alles is gedacht voor een relaxt verblijf. Gratis parkeren in de straat. Goede WIFI. Fijne ontvangst. Leuk is om op deze wijze de Medoc omgeving te verkennen en de zon zien ondergaan vanaf het terras vanuit het Citadel (op een paar minuten wandelafstand)
- Nathalie (8/5): - La chambre est spacieuse et une cuisine complète est à la disposition de la clientèle. Les serviettes de bain et la literie sont très bien. Nous n'avons pas pris le petit déjeuner sur place. L'endroit a besoin d'entretiens: la peinture est écaillée un peu partout et dans notre chambre, la peinture au plafond a grandement besoin d'être rafraichie. Malheureusement, personne n'était a l'accueil. Il a fallu téléphoner à la propriétaire qui n'a pris que 2 minutes pour arriver. L'hôtel est situé à quelques minutes a pied de la Citadelle, lieu à voir absolument si vous êtes dans la région. Demander une chambre donnant sur la rue derrière ; ce sera plus tranquille pour dormir.
- Nancy (10/5): Wonderful stay - We had a wonderful stay! The apartment was immaculate. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment and it was very roomy and tastefully decorated, with cool artwork all around. The breakfast was very nice and the owners and staff were very helpful
- Russell (10/5): - Nice hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Local people also very helpful especially in the pharmacy nearby. Many thanks
- Udo (10/5): Top Tip! - Das war die beste Unterkunft während unserer Frankreich-Rundreise. Ein tolles Appartment, wo einfach alles stimmte und ein Ort, der aussah, wie man sich Frankreich vorstellt. Top! Und mit Bordeaux eine Großstadt in Reichweite.
- Philip (10/5): Villa St Simon - This was a great place to stay, welcoming, comfortable and interesting.
