Logis de la Cadene sur Saint-Emilion

A wonderful weekend at Logis de la Cadene. The welcome was perfect, the location ideal, the decor tasteful, and the sommelier's recommendations excellent!

A truly beautiful establishment in the heart of Saint-Émilion! We were able to enjoy the 2012 suite, which was absolutely superb. A huge thank you to the entire team for your warm welcome, with a special mention for Tiffany and Marine! We look forward to returning!

The hotel is charming, and the staff is phenomenal. Dinner was among the best I had during my stay in France. However, there was one major issue that affected my experience. I stayed in the old house, room 1782, and there was a constant loud dragging noise—so strong and so frequent that I could feel the vibrations through the floor. I was often woken up very early or kept awake late at night. At first, I thought it was other guests, but the sound was so regular that it seemed more like pipes or a door being dragged repeatedly. I reported the issue to the front desk and mentioned it three nights in a row, but nothing was done to investigate or resolve it. Unfortunately, I felt as if I wasn’t being taken seriously, which was very disappointing. Proper rest is one of the most important reasons to choose a hotel, especially one with a minimum age requirement for guests, and I wasn’t able to sleep well at all. We stayed four nights, and the constant dragging noise left me exhausted and frustrated. Despite how beautiful the hotel and the location are, I was honestly relieved to check out. Breakfast was also quite mediocre, though there is a bakery down the road with good coffee and pastries. I truly believe more effort could have been made to identify the source of the noise (it seemed like a door used regularly by staff). I even spoke with the Maître d’Hôtel, but the problem was never addressed, and nothing was communicated to me. I value hospitality above all. All the luxury in the world and even the best food cannot replace the fact that my concerns were not taken seriously during our stay. I loved the hotel, but I won’t be coming back. If you stay here, do NOT stay in room 1782 if you value quiet and rest.

Lots to tell…the hotel is older but charming. The great room was beautiful with a roaring fireplace. Access to the hotel is a bit sketchy but worth it. Room 2015 is small but there are larger rooms. Dinner was excellent. Front desk staff is great. Restaurant manager is great. Definitely would go back !!!

Absolutely charming restaurant with creative and sophisticated food that’s delicious. The location in a restored walled town near the cathedral is perfect for a restaurant of this caliber. The staff is skilled and delightful. They are not stuffy but informed and personable. They serve a fixed course meal that is, unlike many other Michelin restaurants, a reasonable amount of beautifully composed and delicious food.
