Villa Reale, Bordeaux

Exceptionally good. Pre-arrival communications (and comms during stay) were excellent. The building has been beautifully renovated, and the apartment is beautifully decorated and in an excellent location (in the old city center). Highly recommended!

The apartment was beautifully presented, with many small lovely touches (eg the towels were so thick and soft). It was very comfortable and quiet, and the location was excellent for all the main sites and transport

Nothing. There was an internet outage while we were there however this impacted the whole area - and the hosts contacted us directly to advise

I can't speak highly enough. The property is absolute luxury, from the furnishings, to the linens, the design, the double glazed windows, all the way through to the building itself. So many cafés, restaurants, sights within easy walking distance. Greatly recommend and will return.

Below weren't issues for me, however could be for someone elderly or not able-bodied. The apartment is located in an area that doesn't allow traffic. Therefore moving luggage through the streets may be troublesome for some. Additionally, there is no lift. Again, that could be difficult for some with heavy luggage.

The apartment is excellent with everything you need to comfortably accommodate a family of four. The location is perfect, in the heart of the city and close to everything.

Carrying our suitcases up 6 flights of stairs, but we knew there was no lift when booking. There is only a bath in the second bedroom with hand held shower hose with very low water flow. Beautiful bathroom but would've been better with a standing shower.

Great property, right in the center, closed to everything: opera, shops, restaurants and bars.

The property was absolutely beautiful and located perfectly within the heart of Bordeaux

There was only one shower in two of the apartments which were located in the bedroom en suite. We were four people in the apartment (two in the room and two on the sofa bed) and the folks on the sofa bed had to wake up the two in the bedroom in order to have a shower

Great location in downtown area. Fantastic air-conditioning during hot weather. Wine selection to purchase. Proximity to restaurants, attractions and shopping.

Old town traffic and limited car access.

We loved everything. It was central so in the heart of everything. We took great pleasure in popping downstairs to eat and enjoyed the atmosphere of the square. The secondary glazing was very effective and the apartment was clean, fresh and comfortable. The decor was beautiful which echoed the Art Deco era and we would most definitely visit again. The Host's communication was fantastic which we appreciated as we arrived late and all went well. Thank you and see you again soon.

Location was good

Having no lift especially carrying the luggage up the 3rd floor

Fabulous location, stylish property, super clean.

Loved everything about this stay, beginning with Alice being so so wonderful before our trip and upon arrival and during our trip for all my questions and needs. Awesome service. The apartment itself is spic and span, lovely, and in an excellent location.

No elevator but we knew this ahead of time

Absolutely loved this apartment: location was great, and really comfortable. We were so happy here.

We were on grandson babysitting duty. Being on the 2nd floor, with no lift, was ‘challenging’. But safe to leave the push-chair at the foot of the stairs.

Central location overlooking an attractive square in the historic town centre. Stylish decor. Comfortable bed and sofa bed. Very well equipped. Daily cleaning service included. The basket with tea and coffee supplies and the couple of bottles of complementary mineral water were a nice touch.

The shower tray is very shallow and it was very easy for water to spill out onto the bathroom floor. We mopped this up, but a line of silicone sealant along the edge of the shower tray might be helpful to prevent this in future. We had two standard sized 'roller' long-weekend sized suitcases and there was really no where to put them in the bedroom as it was very compact - one we put on to the side table, the other had to stay on the floor which is not ideal as it got in the way to and from the bathroom. Perhaps a recess could be made in the wardrobe to fit a suitcase rack. We had our teenage son with us who slept on the sofa bed in the living room. The apartment is very compact. With three of us for just two nights it was fine. But it's such an elegant apartment it's really better suited for a couple.

The location is right in the city square, apt is very well decorated, clean and well-equipped

We had to roll our luggage ~4 short blocks as cars are not allowed in that area and carry them up stairs as there were no elevators.

Beautiful apartment, great location with many fabulous restaurants and bars close by. The weather in Bordeaux was very hot during our stay but the aircon in the apartment kept it cool. Very helpful to have a washing machine with a silk programme too! The bed is super comfy and the apartment well equipped and cleaned daily. Just like staying a suite in a boutique hotel. Our host was fabulous - organising a cab for us on our final day

Nothing. It was fabulous. This is our 2nd stay, we have recommended to friends and will be back ourselves.

lovely throughout & great location

Location was great and space was beautiful, the host was exceptional.

None.

Location was absolutely fabulous, close to everything . If I had any queries, responses were always replied to by Alice very quickly . Bonus for me was a washing machine and dryer! and cool air conditioning on a very hot week.

Perfect in every way

The recommendations of Karl’s was fantastic. The location couldn’t be beaten. Close to everything including shops/ restaurants, parking and tram. Felt very safe. The apartment was fully soundproof. Very clean and beautifully furnished.

There are no lifts, but we were informed. Couldn’t get the speakers to work (didn’t try very hard but some instructions next to them could be handy).

The location was fantastic - the best reason to return to the apartment.

The bathroom could have been a bit more spacious and the building should have had a lift.

the walk up the stairs and vehicle access

small but nice

too many stairs

everything location was fantastic property was so pretty clean bed was comfy. Alice thankyou.

nothing

Furniture were impractical. Sofa may have been very clean but did not give the feeling of being clean. Too much black decor.

very convenient place to visit city center. and staff’s respond is quite good. we didn’t have any problem during the stay. comfortable for my family(4 people)

If use sofa bed in the living room, little bit noisy because living room is in front of the common open place. but it’s not big deal. If prépare year plug, will be no problem.
