LA SAUVAGEONNE is a beautifully restored "maison de maître" with three holiday suites, two self-catering cottages, and the main manor on 8 acres of wooded land. The entire property is surrounded by the vineyards of Côte de Blaye. The house dates largely from the 18th century with the oldest part dating back to the 16th century. The property is very secluded. This private location will ensure an exceptionally calm setting for your vacation or weekend getaway. Breakfast is offeres for guests staying in the holiday suites, and all guests can reserve a place at the dinner table where a traditional French meal and superb wines of the Bordeaux area are served.
La Sauvageonne is an ideal destination for wine lovers and walking enthusiasts alike and lies central to both beach and vineyards.

The reserve has several narrow paved trails and makes for an ideal circuit for cyclists. Lastly, if you simply want to relax by the poolside, the hosts will be glad to serve lunch or snacks and provide beverages throughout the day.
