Small Boutique hotels in AQUITAINE

Called the medieval queen, this region of France looks out over the Atlantic Ocean with more than 250 km of sandy beaches. Its capital, Bordeaux, is a city full of attractions that gives its name to an area with a long wine tradition of world prestige.

In Aquitaine, wineries and châteaux are intrinsic to the landscape and number in the hundreds. Named after the mythical Saint-Émilion wine, a medieval nucleus emerged with a fascinating architectural heritage. It is in these lands that we find the oldest denomination of origin in France, Côtes de Duras. Spectacular châteaux host small dream hotels.

Among the regional towns venerated for their beauty, we find Roque-Gageac, scenically located between a great rock formation and the river Dordoña. Beynac and Cazenac is on a cliff and has spectacular strength.

The Bay of Arcachon is famous for its oysters and the oyster farmers' unique cabins on stilts. See the Great Dune of Pilat, the largest sand dune in Europe, 117 m in height. Since the 19th century, Biarritz, on the south coast, has sustained its spirit as a holiday destination and today it is also a mecca for surfers.
