    • Between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde estuary, Château Fontesteau opens the doors of its 13th-century residence and offers you a unique accommodation experience, combining comfort and historical charm. This cozy castle, surrounded by a 100-hectare estate of unspoiled nature, is the ideal place for an unforgettable getaway with family or friends.

      The château boasts six elegantly appointed bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and toilet, ensuring privacy and comfort for every guest. The large, fully equipped kitchen, complete with a pantry, invites the preparation of convivial meals, while the laundry room offers additional amenities for an extended stay. The spacious living and dining room provide a warm living space, ideal for moments of relaxation and sharing.

      Outside, two terraces furnished with teak furniture allow you to fully enjoy the exceptional natural setting. One of the terraces is covered and equipped with a barbecue/fireplace, ideal for outdoor barbecue evenings. The large garden offers a green space to relax, while the basketball court will delight sports enthusiasts.

      The Fontesteau estate is a true haven of biodiversity. The 20 hectares of vineyard are cultivated using organic farming methods, demonstrating the château's commitment to environmental conservation. The surrounding forests, populated by centuries-old oaks, pines and black locust trees, as well as the peaceful pond, create a rich and varied ecosystem, offering visitors a total immersion in nature.

      Guests at Château Fontesteau also have the opportunity to discover the wines produced on site. As independent winemakers, we cultivate our vines, vinify and market our wines directly from the property. Our Haut-Médoc red wines, recognized Cru Bourgeois since 1932, are the fruit of know-how passed down from generation to generation and an unwavering passion for viticulture.

      The château's privileged location makes it easy to explore the riches of the Médoc region. Nearby Atlantic beaches invite swimming and water sports, while small ports along the Gironde estuary offer picturesque walks. Cycling enthusiasts will appreciate the numerous trails through forests and vineyards, offering breathtaking panoramas.

      By choosing to stay at Château Fontesteau, you are opting for an authentic experience, combining history, nature and wine tasting. Whether for a relaxing stay, a special celebration or an immersion in the world of wine, our dedicated team is at your disposal to make your stay unforgettable.

    Had a fantastic trip to Chateau Fontesteau. Quentin (the guide) was a lovely and informative host. We very much enjoyed our wine tasting and the lunch was brilliant. Would recommend for the price.
