About Us
Refuge Luxe makes the perfect base to explore the best that the area has to offer. We’re in the heart of Bordeaux wine country, with some of its most famous vineyards, including Saint Emilion a short drive away, and plenty of other great boutique wineries nearby. Gorgeous medieval villages, historic sites, authentic farmers markets and fantastic restaurants are also a major draw card for the area all around us.
Refuge Luxe combines the charm of a bed and breakfast with the modern comforts of a boutique hotel. Join us to relax, explore, share stories, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. Refuge Luxe is sure to captivate you.
The Good Life Gets Better
Eat, drink, relax and sleep
A stay at Refuge Luxe not only guarantees a good night’s sleep, but also culinary delights. Every day we serve you a hearty breakfast as well as coffee, tea and water throughout the day.
If you would like a snack, we offer you a choice: a carefully prepared snack platter with cold meats and cheese or olives with fresh baguette.
In summer, we host BBQ or pizza nights in the garden using fresh ingredients from our garden or local suppliers. During cooler seasons, enjoy a 3-course menu with drinks by the cosy fireplace in the breakfast room, paired with regional wine for the perfect evening.

Relax
Within the grounds of Refuge Luxe, you can sit back and let your mind wander.
Find yourself a cosy lounge chair out on the deck or garden, high up over the rolling hills, and take in the view.
Curl up with a book, have a siesta, or take time out to listen to your favourite music.
Too hot from the glorious sunshine? Take a dip in the sparkling pool.
If all of this relaxing makes you thirsty, help yourself at any time during the day to a glass of wine from our personal selection at the honesty bar.
Explore
Meander through the surrounding vineyards, or hire one of our bikes to go further afield.
For cycling enthusiasts there is the Roger Lapébie cycling trail between Sauveterre-de-Guyenne and Bordeaux, or for other inspiration we can also organise a round of golf, a canoe/kayak expedition, horseriding, or other activities that might take your fancy.
The local area is rich in history and full of fascinating sites. Lose yourself in the streets of medieval villages, including the famous Saint Emilion (Heritage Listed by UNESCO), or the smallest village in France which is just a stones throw from Refuge Luxe.
