Les Domaines De Patras

Attended a family wedding here and it was just absolutely stunning. Its a 17th century chateau that offers the most incredible charm and amazing views. It’s a B&B so you’ll get breakfast only—but the rooms have small kitchens for cooking and there’s a village nearby for groceries and restaurants. The hosts are wonderful and they have this magical way of staying out of site—even though they live on the property—and yet the minute you need something they appear! Breakfast was awesome—fresh croissants and pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt and cereal. Coffee/espresso always available. We did manage to buy a glass of Rose’ one afternoon but I’m still not sure if that was a one-time thing or an amenity that’s always offered. Just come with your own drinks/spirits and snacks and you’ll be covered. Laundry on site was a godsend as we came here after 4 days in Paris and had another week of travels afterwards. There is a lovely pool, lavender fields for strolling, cute grottos for enjoying a glass of wine, and horse stables. You honestly could not take a bad photo here—it’s so picturesque. Our family had the entire place rented out for a wedding so that makes it extra fun but there are plenty of places to fine quiet and relaxation.
