Les Sources de Caudalie

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose it for a stay organized around Graves vineyards, Bordeaux wine, spa time and dining—not as a walkable city-base hotel.

About the hotel

Opened in 1999, Les Sources de Caudalie is a 62-room-and-suite vineyard hotel on the grounds of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, among the Graves vines and woodland south of Bordeaux. Its accommodations are spread across six themed houses drawing on Aquitaine and the surrounding wine country. The experience centers on Bordeaux wine, a Caudalie Vinothérapie spa using natural spring water, and an on-site collection of restaurants and bars; Bordeaux is about 20 minutes away by car.

Choose it if

You want Château Smith Haut Lafitte vineyard visits and wine experiences close at hand.
You’d rather build your days around spa time, cooking or wine tastings than use Bordeaux as your main base.

Skip it if

You want a walkable city stay or to rely on public transport; the hotel says it is not accessible by public transport.
