Highly recommend a couple of nights at Chateau Pape Clement -- unbelievable experience in what is truly paradise in the town of Pessac, immediately west of Bordeaux city. I don't know how to describe the chateau other than to say it's a freaking castle -- the grounds are amazing, but our favorite spot was the spacious roof top terrace where we would spend each evening enjoying the views of the vineyards and watching the city lights of Bordeaux in the distance.

The staff at Pape Clement were incredible -- from Elsa, to Jessica, to Antoine, to David -- exceptional service and accommodation.

Highly recommend!
