"It was an absolute delight to stay with Nathalie and Olivier who have lovingly restored the Chateau. They were charming hosts and made the stay one to remember. The renovation of the chateau provides a modern and spacious room that has also retained the charm of the old building. The meals were delightful and prepared by the hosts using fresh local produce. I'd thoroughly recommend Malis Castera to anyone wanting to stay in the wine region."

"The hotel is centrally located inside the old city walls. You can walk to all of the major historical monuments. The breakfast was great - Continental but good value and tasty. The restaurant right next door was good. We greatly enjoyed a dinner at La Tertre (you will need a reservation)"

We had a special 3 days at the Chateau De Courtebotte, just regret we did not book for a longer stay. Isabelle is a great host and the food, dinner and breakfast, outstanding. Recommendations for visits and restaurants in the local area were all great. Our room was quiet, spacious, clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful time with great memories and highly recommend a stay at the Chateau.

What a beautiful surprise and warm welcome at this chambre d'hotes in Puisseguin. Pre dinner, we enjoyed a wine tasting at the gite with the other guests with interesting commentary by our lovely host, Franziska. Then dined out at a recommended neighbouring restaurant. The gite is located in a very pretty rural setting surrounded by vineyards. Was relaxing to sit by the pool after a day's driving. Delicious breakfast in the morning with the other guests.
