Fodor's Expert Review Le Relais de Franc Mayne
14 la Gomerie, St-Émilion, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, 33330, France
Once a relay station for weary travelers on an ancient Gallo-Roman path, this grand cru classé property has a choice of comfortable guest rooms, including a unique tree house with a beautiful view over the vineyards. A state-of-the-art seminar room, tasting room, welcome center, and animated tour of their underground cellar (remnants from an 11th-century limestone excavation) make it an interesting base for a few days of wine discovery and relaxation.
PROS
- walking or biking distance to town through classic vineyards
- natural swimming pool
- fascinating focus on wine
CONS
- no restaurant
- definitely rural and distant from nightlife
- no service after 7 pm until the following morning
