Hostellerie de Plaisance is set on 14th century foundations, and is the best choice in Saint-Emilion. The well-styled rooms, some with views of stone monuments and towers, welcome sophisticated wine tasters and buyers from all over the world. Some rooms are small, but the best doubles have terraces where you can enjoy breakfast. Each comes with a midsize bathroom with a combination tub and shower. The cuisine of Christophe Canati is the best known and most praised in the area. He works with the region's bountiful seasonal ingredients, especially game dishes, usually available October through February.
Hostellerie de Plaisance has been faithfully restored to its 18th Century origins. The panoramic terrace offers a wonderful view. The entire property is graced with an elegance which turns the Hostellerie into an exceptional setting, set off by a residence with four suites in the Château Pavie.
