A peaceful retreat in the Bordeaux countryside
Nestled in a lush green setting between forests and vineyards, Domaine des Bruyères takes its name from the history of the place. For more than forty years, the property was home to the cultivation of heather, these delicate flowers that still line the paths and surroundings of the estate today.
Today, this place, rich in nature and authenticity, welcomes travellers seeking serenity and elegance.
Built in 1852, the estate’s historic chartreuse, with its luminous façade and blue shutters, reflects the timeless charm of traditional Gironde residences. The park, planted with remarkable tree species, offers a peaceful and inspiring atmosphere, ideal for relaxation and quiet contemplation.
Accommodation designed for every stay…
La Chartreuse | 14 guests | The heart of the estate, the main house features six bright bedrooms, three bathrooms (two with bathtubs), three separate toilets, a spacious living and dining room with a double fireplace, and a large welcoming kitchen. An adjoining patio extends the living space outdoors, offering the perfect setting to share meals and relaxing moments in the shade of the wisteria.
L’Atelier des Bruyères | 2 guests | Fully renovated, this independent space located in the east wing of the chartreuse has its own private entrance, one bedroom, a bathroom with toilet, and a fully equipped kitchenette. A perfect retreat for a stay for two, combining modern comfort with the charm of old stone walls.
