Our group of 8 (four couples) stayed in La Maison for 3 nights in July to celebrate a 60th birthday among the group. Firstly the setting - the house and grounds are just amazing, traditional in its layout and materials with exceptional quality and style of furnishings (you can tell Corinne is an interior designer!). The breakfast was fantastic, homemade by the hosts with lots of savoury and sweet French delicacies which filled us up for most of the day. However what made the birthday trip special was the pre-planning and communication with the host Laurent prior to our arrival - he helped with recommending restaurants, vineyards, spa and masseuse booking and every single aspect of our trip. All of this detail and responsiveness made our break in Libourne special in every way possible! I would say La Maison Mulato is a great base to explore the beautiful area or it can be tailored with the hosts to make a very special trip as we did. My sincere thanks to the super-friendly and accommodating hosts Laurent, Corinne and Laura for helping make us long lasting memories of our birthday trip to Bordeaux…
