La Closerie de Fronsac

Do not stay here… I arrived past the check in time and was not given my room. Actually no one answered me and I had to book another hotel. I requested a refund, because I hadn’t received the services I paid for (ie. the room) and the hotel declined me, saying arriving past the check-in time was a violation of our contract. Other B and Bs in the area are incredibly accommodating and understand that when you’re traveling things happen and you might be late to the check in. It’s simply unacceptable for a hotel accepting international guests to have such a strict check-in policy and leave guests stranded late at night in a foreign country

After visiting the St Emilion region during the day our group of six checked into La Closerie de Fronsac for the evening. We requested dinner the morning of our stay and were treated to a beautiful home cooked meal, great hospitality and delicious wine followed by a wonderful breakfast the next morning. Rooms were clean, comfortable and charming. Clement was a fantastic host, always ensuring we had everything we needed. We even purchased a box of wine to accompany our travels. Would highly recommend this authentic experience.

What a wonderful experience! Of course inspite of our GPS, we got lost, but when we drove up to this magical place we were thrilled. Situated in the middle of breathtaking vineyards, we entered the beautiful gates & the owner/chef/decorator & winemaker, Clement, greeted us with such warmth. We felt we had known him for years. A young entrepreneur, he is fascinating to talk to and so very nice. The place is decorated in some of the finest, most interesting antiques. It appears he too loves brocantes & he was kind enough to tell us where to find some. First night Clement gives us a tour of his winery & was very informative & knowledgeable. His wine by the way is delicious. He suggests dinner at a place in Libourne which is about 20 min away…very good. But the highlight was the next night when Clement cooked for us. There were 4 other couples, but instead of all of us sitting together, he sat each couple at tables situated privately in sections of his garden. It was so truly romantic. He prepared a French Basque chicken that had piquant seasoning. It was done to perfection. Pasta with orange & thyme & a ratatouille of veggies with Basque seasoning. A cheese plate that looked like an artist palette…5 different cheeses each having a condiment of either fruit or walnuts. Dessert was a small bowl of tiny, various chocolates. All served with his lovely wines. One of the best dinners in our month long trip. Breakfast was amazing & diversified. Clement prepared eggs as well if you so desired besides the fresh sweets, croissants & cheeses. The view from our room of his vineyards was breathtaking as was the room itself. So many lovely antiques. The bathroom modernized tastefully. Huge shower & so very clean. Very quiet & peaceful surroundings. No TV, thank you Clement. We highly recommend!!

This was a special spot in the heart of the Fronsac appellation. A great old house, very carefully outfitted with period furniture and art with a welcoming attitude to all who enter. Breakfast was beautifully served. Wine tasting of their wines can be arranged.

We stayed at La Closerie de Fronsac for one night but we wished it would have been more. The chateau is beautiful, filled with gorgeous antiquities. The estate is amazing, in the middle of lush vineyards. The host, Clément, is really helpful and friendly. He gave us some tips of where to go in the area, which made for the perfect afternoon itinerary (the beautiful village of Saint Émillion nearby). When we came back, Clément gave us a tour of the wine cellar and let us taste some of the delicious self-produced wines. In the evening, we enjoyed an amazing, home-cooked dinner outside, which was the best ever! The room was super comfy and clean too, with everything you need for a good night’s rest. The breakfast the next day was super delicious as well! It was our dream of staying on a vineyard and staying at La Closerie de Fronsac went above our expectations! Thank you so much Clément!

Agréable séjour à la Closerie de Fronsac. Chambre confortable et délicieux déjeuner. Notre hôte Clément nous a fait visiter son chai et nous a donné des explications très intéressantes. C'était une belle initiation pour nous à cet art de l'œnologie. Il a été très généreux en réservant pour nous des visites de vignobles dont un classé grand cru, il nous a aidé à organiser notre journée afin de rentabiliser notre temps dans la région. Les références de restaurants ont aussi été très apprécié. Je recommande fortement cet hébergement.

nous avons eu le plaisir d'habiter cet endroit pendant 2 jours comme si c'était le notre. Chaleureu et reservé, sans nuissance, si vous cherchez l'autenticité, l'acceuil propre et discret, le bon vin, la nature et la France, La Closerie de Fronsac c'est le bon choix. Profitez de la clauserie et de ses alentours simplement ... merveilleux.

Une très belle étape dans cette région magnifique. Vue imprenable sur les vignes. Superbe bâtisse. La dégustation de vins avec le propriétaire/vigneron passionnante et riche d’informations de toutes sortes. Le dîner excellent avec des produits locaux de qualité dans un cadre romantique. Un grand merci à Clément pour ses conseils avisés et à sa compagne pour sa gentillesse. Je recommande ! Pascal&Andrée

Fréquentation lamentable ! Nous sommes restés à la porte pendant 30 minutes, personne n'a répondu et nous avons dû chercher un autre hôtel dans le coin ! je ne recommande pas! Mauvaise expérience! Lamentable frequency! We stood at the door for 30 minutes, no one answered and we had to look for another hotel in the area! I do not recommend! Bad experience!
