The City of Wine

Holiday Rental Description

Standing proudly over the Bassins à Flots district in Bordeaux, this eighth-floor apartment gives you a calming space to retreat to after a day exploring this wonderful city. As you first step inside, your eyes will naturally be drawn to the view outside your window – but we’ll come to that in a minute. Stroll around this chic, cosy space, and you’ll find everything you need for a memorable stay. The sleek kitchen is more than capable of testing out your culinary skills if you’re choosing an evening in over dining out locally – nominate a cook for the evening and as the delicious aroma of dinner cooking fills the apartment, you can catch up over a bottle of merlot and regale each other with stories from your day. After your meal, settle down with your feet up on the comfortable chaise sofa for a movie to unwind fully for the day.

Mornings will be well spent out on your terrace taking in the cityscape over a cup of coffee as the world wakes below. A sure thing to stand out in the skyline will be the glittering gold of the Cité du Vin – if your bottle of red tickled your tastebuds, this is a must-see during your stay in Bordeaux and within easy reach of your home.
