VIA CARLA

We stayed for 6 nights in January. The communication of how to get there and access the apartment was super clear and the whole process was so easy. Fantastic one bed apartment overlooking a busy square. The apartment has a nice kitchenette and living dining area with a single bedroom. All was neat and tidy warm and very comfortable. The windows are double glazed so not much noise from the square. The apartment is serviced and that was great. Really comfortable and so well located for everything with a great breakfast spot below. There are many good rated restaurants locally and the public car park is nearby!

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Reale Bordeaux! The apartment is in the perfect location — right in the heart of the old town and just a 5-minute walk from the famous Miroir d’Eau. It’s situated in a beautiful square with plenty of great restaurants right outside your door. The building itself is full of charm, blending historic character with modern comfort. The apartment was spotless, with a super comfortable bed, a fantastic rain shower, and all the modern amenities you could need — including a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine. Daily cleaning was a nice bonus, and with only three apartments in the building, it was incredibly peaceful and quiet for sleeping. We had a wonderful time in Bordeaux and would 100% come back to Villa Reale Bordeaux. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning interior design, spacious and beautiful apartment super central au coeur de Bordeaux at a lovely, lively square. Nevertheless the rooms are quiet at any time of the day. The host is very helpful and reacts quickly to any questions. We will return during our next stay in Bordeaux.

This is a great property! We stayed in the Leopard d'Or Suite on the 2nd floor. Centrally located right on the Place du Parliment in Bordeaux but wonderfully quiet with the insulated windows. Beautifully appointed. Kitchen and bathroom amenities were plentiful. Even your own washer/dryer combo! Alice Henry was available to answer any questions and help arrange for taxi services to the train station. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in Bordeaux. Easy to arrange tours to nearby wineries and towns. We loved St. Emilion. Lovely find!

Absolutely nothing is amiss in this lovely 2 story flat (name: Pyla— 3rd floor, 2 levels). Quiet charming boutique apartment, centrally located in a lively square, super clean, very comfortable beds (lovely linens), and the freshest bath towels (scent of lemon and line dried—reminded me of my grandmother’s laundry!).|This top flat in this beautiful restored villa is perfect for any season. Only wish we were staying longer. |Merci, Alice.

This is a beautiful apartment on a beautiful square in gorgeous Bordeaux. These elegant apartments while on a busy square are quiet (due to the double glazed windows) are outfitted with extremely comfortable beds, have generous touches to make your stay comfortable (like espresso pods, free water, robes and slippers), and managed by an extremely efficient and generous host. We loved our stay in 2 apartments in Villa Reale and when we return to Bordeaux we will definitely stay here!

As previous reviewers have said, these are exquisite apartments. Just three, we stayed in the Ile aux Oiseaux apartment on the second level. Decor style is gorgeous and of the highest quality. The outlook is over the lovely Place du Parlement, with a location that couldn’t be more central and with the double glazing you can’t hear a sound. We arrived by train into the main station, jumped on the tram, got off at the Bourse and voila the apartment was just a couple of minutes away. Everything you need is provided - albeit in a space efficient way (the positioning of the washing machine is quite something). The tiny kitchen has all the most modern conveniences - fridge, stove, oven, dishwasher and Nespresso, but I didn’t feel like messing it up by actually cooking. When we ate in, we made use of the many takeaway options available at very close range, eg pizza and Guy & Son hamburgers which were delicious. It’s the perfect mix of apartment and hotel with a daily maid service to freshen the apartment up while you’re out. Finally our host Alice was lovely - she even helped us carry our bags up the stairs which given her tiny stature was quite something. If she wasn’t on site, she was just a phone call away and helped us with our taxi to the station when we thought the trams may not have been running. I would return to Villa Réale in Bordeaux in a heartbeat but suspect once word gets around it will be very difficult to get a booking. It made our stay in Bordeaux really special.

Four of us stayed here for three nights over New Year and very much enjoyed the space, and the comfortable beds and rooms. It was all well presented and with modern amenities. It was a good place to explore Bordeaux from and we were glad to stay there.||We were on the top floor. It was quite a walk up carrying luggage or shopping. However, the email had let us know there was no lift, so that is fine. There would be some however who would find those stairs difficult when carrying luggage.||We also had a few glitches. Neither the safe nor internet worked when we arrived but the lady who was cleaning rang the owner for directions and fixed them in half an hour or so. More of a concern was the electronic locks on the door which would not open when we arrived (after leaving our bags earlier) from shopping with groceries. Fortunately that same lady was there then, told us that that was unusual, and spent about 20 minutes trying to manipulate the door before getting it open. ||It was fortunate that the lady was there when we arrived although we did have a number to call (and she then gave us her personal number in case it happened again.) So it didn't upset our stay, and we still would recommend the very comfortable apartment if you are fine with stairs, but it may be even better if there was a better lock system. Anyway, what a good location to be in.
