Both the monastery and the surroundings are really beautiful. Last day we celebrated our son's wedding. Both the food and the organization were frankly good. We thank the staff for their dedication, I think all the guests left with a good image of a place that most did not know. It is especially convenient to have rooms available at a reasonable price so that guests who wish can spend the night at the banquet site.

Perfect place to celebrate a wedding, well-kept gardens and a well-preserved building. Large rooms, perfect and attentive service. The food was really good. On the other hand, the rooms are old and somewhat neglected, although they are large and spacious. For some reason the access door from the hall is left open, everything is heard. They are also cold and have twin beds. They do not have TV

My husband and I had the most amazing wedding and stay at the Monastery! They hosted not only Spaniards, but also a ton of Americans with ease. Everyone was so astonished at how beautiful the monastery was, how amazing our wedding was, how amazing the staff was, how delicious the food was, and how relaxing their stay was. Javier was the absolute best- from dealing with our “American” timelines- including the sunset (hahaha), to the best customer service on earth. He made sure our wedding was amazing and that everyone had the most memorable stay. My friends and family knew Javier’s name by the time they left, and had the nicest things to say about their interactions with him. Thank you all so much. I can’t wait to stop by every year and say Hola, and give more thank yous for giving us the best day and wedding we could have ever asked for. With Love, the Sieiros (Ivan and Veronica)

Saint-Émilion Old Town

Saint-Émilion is a picturesque medieval village renowned for its well-preserved architecture and vineyards. The town and surrounding vineyards was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, owing to its long, living history of wine-making, Romanesque churches and ruins stretching all along steep and narrow streets.

An oppidum was built on the hill overlooking the present-day city in Gaulish times, before the regions was annexed by Augustus in 27 BC. The Romans planted vineyards in what was to become Saint-Émilion as early as the 2nd century. In the 4th century, the Latin poet Ausonius lauded the fruit of the bountiful vine.

Because the region was located on the route of the Camino de Santiago, many monasteries and churches were built during the Middle Ages, and in 1199, while under Plantagenet rule, the town was granted full rights.
