The area around Chateau Rigaud is very well serviced with a huge range of accommodation. From 5 * hotels to gites (cottages) and B&Bs - there is something for everyone.
Danusia has become an expert on the wide variety of accommodation in the area, making contact with owners and reserving rooms (in most cases until the end of March) to save you all time.
Below is a list of what we know is currently available. Please have a look and try to book asap as we know there is another large wedding going on the same weekend.
These are listed in no particular order. We've taken advice from the wedding venue and from the local tourism office. Prices are indicative, as are driving times to Chateau Rigaud. Most of these allow for groups of friends or family to stay together.

The Saint Emilion tourist office is brilliant, much more info on accommodation, the surrounding area etc.

We have had some thoughts already as to what groups of friends and family would suit which accommodation, so we will be in touch shortly to discuss further.
