Château Papounan

Sylvaine & Jacques have a lovely property and they are fantastic hosts We were given a well equipped room in immaculate condition with a very comfortable bed. They were very helpful, from our first contact at booking to our last goodbyes, helping us with all manner of things to make our trip go smoothly Can't praise them enough (plus breakfasts are incredible)

Three of us spent five nights at Chateau Papounan. The hospitality of Jacques and Sylvaine significantly enhanced our visit to the Medoc. The rooms were clean and were furnished in well-thought-out ways. Two of us shared the ground-level room that had an exterior door. We made good use of the kitchenette with its table, chairs, sink, cabinets, microwave/conventional oven, cooktop, refrigerator, dishes, and utensils. The bed was firm and comfortable. Everything in the bathroom worked well. We made daily use of the phone-charging pad. Outside was an electric charger for automobiles, and each evening Jacques plugged it into our electric car. The breakfasts were terrific, with a delicious assortment of tasty items. Sylvain and Jacques are delightful hosts. They were responsive and helpful throughout our stay.

As I look back on our recently concluded 15-day trip to France, I realize that perhaps THE highlight was our stay at Chateau Papounan. It wasn’t the breakfasts, though they were terrific. Nor was it our room, which was more than adequate. It was our hosts, Sylvaine & Jacques Leisy. They were so welcoming, so helpful, and so generous (sharing a bottle of wine with them in their garden, with their two big dogs, will stay in my memory always). Had it been up to me, I’d have stayed longer to further engage with two folks I can only deem the ultimate hosts.

We had a fantastic stay at Château Papounan. The location was great. The rooms are big and very well equipped and clean. In particular the service was outstanding. The breakfast was also fantastic.

The stay was excellent and our hosts Jaques and Sylvayne could not do enough for us over our four day stay. Our room was a double room on the ground floor and was quaintly decorated in a traditional style We breakfasted outside on the terace with delicious home made croissants, bread, Jams, fresh fruit and yogurt. The whole experience was delightful. Jaques and Sylvayne were great company and helped with local knowledge for restaurants and shopping, all exceptionally helpful All I all a fantastic choice for our stay

Wonderful welcome from Sylvaine et Jacques ! the room and Bed are very comfortable and breakfast was just great the place is perfect for one day business trip or longer loved the calm around the chateau many thanks again see you soon
