Everything was perfect. What a beautiful place, both the location and the beauty of the castle and its restoration. Our room was nicely appointed and everything was planned for us to have a pleasant time (even mosquito nets on the windows). Particularly friendly welcome. We also enjoyed the wine tasting.

We did the wine tasting session at Château de Pierreclos. Léonie gave us a lot of very precise information and is a very pleasant hostess. The place is remarkable and our experience memorable.
