My husband and I stayed at Les Sources de Caudalie in September of 2011; and had a nice time, that could have been improved with better service. The property is gorgeous with wonderful sculptures placed along the grounds, and spectacular views overlooking the vineyard. We had a very nice room in the beautiful Boathouse building.

The problem with the property, is the service in the bar and restaurant is extremely poor. Except for one wonderful waiter (whose name we sadly never got), we felt we had to ask for most things twice because the first request was often ignored. When trying to order a drink in the bar, the waiters would pass the table never looking or checking to see if you may want to order. I do not think in a hotel of this caliber one should have to wave down an employee for service.

We did the tasting menu in La Grand' Vigne one evening (happily we had the excellent waiter); and all of the courses were phenomenal. The other evenings we ate in La Table du Lavoir; which has excellent food, but the menu is limiting with only 4 entrees.

Due to the beauty of the property, and the very central location, we had a nice experience; but the rude service would prevent us from ever returning or recommending.

Wow! The architecture is very interesting. Architect used old wood, tiles to make new look old. Large main house with check in area and restaurants. At least 3 other structures that looked like nice barns housed the other rooms. Yes, each one is different and with a theme. Ours was very large with a balcony overlooking the pond. Our husbands enjoyed the 3 hole golf course and because it was off season and cloudy managed to get in a full 18 holes! Just don't ask to keep one of the engraved balls but they would be happy to sell some to you. We did have a chance to have cocktails in the cosy bar area but just don't expect to have a bartender waiting behind the bar but instead expect to ask again and again for someone to help you. Again maybe because it was off season. In fact when we did locate a bartender he also happened to be a waiter, the luggage guy, room service delivery guy and the car parking guy! We did enjoy our facials, massages and private raisin baths at the spa. Very chic. And they didn't even pressure us to purchase their products...so much so that we had to hunt someone down to purchase their products! And now for the restaurants: Le Grand Vigne and La Table du Lavoir. We had high hopes going into the Le Grand Vigne as it has a Michelin star. Mr. Michelin must be rolling in his grave. What a disappointment. I have reread previous reviews of the restaurant and wonder if we were at the same place. We ordered the 3 course menu from the matre d/waiter. NIcely we were served small bites that were not included in the 3 course meal. These included cold beet soup and a raw shrimp bite. Not the best. Our first course was raw scallops with beet root, raw scallops do not have a flavor. But the worst was yet to come as the main course. The chef chose the most inexpensive pork cuts to serve. The plate included a bite of bacon fat, a bite of pork tenderloin and a bite of bacon fat stew served in phylo dough. What the heck?!?!? The only outstanding food we had was the cheese plate which was spectacular and some of the best we have ever seen. There was no service to speak of, our water bottle had been placed on a different table so that the waiters could pour for us, unfortunately, they forgot to refill so we helped ourselves. Towards the end of the evening we were one of the remaining tables which seemed to mean that the wait staff was more interested in cleaning up in the back than remaining out on the floor. Wine list was extensive but needlessly and beyond expensive. Having a Michellin star must been that you can charge outlandish prices for wine. And then oddly our wine sommelier turned out to be the water/bread guy at the La Table du Lavoir the next night! We did enjoy lunch and dinner at La Table du Lavoir which is much more relaxed. However, we were glad that we were not staying longer at the hotel as the menu was very limited and we wouldn't have had much to choose from the longer we stayed. For dinner we asked for the foie gras which was excellent. Others in our party had the sausage brioche, the raw vegetable tower, the hake with tomato relish and avocado paste, the pork with polenta and the duck. All was nicely prepared. Desserts were excellent. Oh and as far as having a spectacular breakfast buffet um yeah, it had made to order eggs, fresh croissants, meats, juices, breads, cheeses and cereals which should be the norm for a hotel of the quality not exceptional. We loved our rooms and the grounds but were a bit disappointed in the rest.

This place did not disappoint. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner in their restaurants, each one was better than the previous.
The rooms were nice, good sized, and tasteful. We had a beautiful view of the vineyards from our bathtub which added to the ambiance. We did not have a door on our bathroom/shower which I found to be ver odd - that was my only complaint.

Excellent food, service, facilities and beautiful rooms and setting. This is a totally charming 5 star property which we loved and extended our stay as a result. The setting in the middle of vineyards is gorgeous, the breakfast an elegant treat, the spa unique and definitely worth a visit and the rooms nicely decorated with elegant provincial taste. Nice pool, lake with swans, 3 hole golf course free and unlimited for guests. Do the free tour ofnthe winery opposite. Treat yourself to Les Sources Caudalie - it's great value and a lovely, romantic spot.
