Welcome to our historic estate, dating back to 1732, nestled atop the fortified village of Pujols with views of the Dordogne Valley. Formerly a seminary for the 11th-century church, this quintessentially Girondin residence was restored by the writer Jean Cayrol in the 1960s, creating a unique place where history and culture converge, just 10 minutes from Saint-Émilion.
You have the entire property at your disposal for your stay: the main house with its three bedrooms and private bathrooms, a living room, a dining room that seats 20 people, and a large modern kitchen. Two additional guest houses offer four bedrooms with bathrooms, one of which includes a kitchen and living area. The interior blends antiques, modern art, and French country style.
The four inner courtyards feature a saltwater pool, a relaxation area, and a spacious summer kitchen. This private sanctuary with honey-colored stone walls invites you to enjoy multiple spaces where you can relax in complete tranquility within a preserved setting.
Pujols offers a grocery store, restaurant, café, and tennis courts. Explore Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, Bergerac, and the châteaux of the Médoc. Sample wines during estate tours, discover local markets, and savor regional cuisine. The Dordogne offers water sports, and the Atlantic Ocean—including the Arcachon Bay and the Dune du Pyla—is within easy reach.
