La Maison Colline

This 17th-century maison de village in St-Émilion village squirrels away a trio of beautiful old-world rooms. Rustic wooden beams, exposed stone walls, antique furniture and shelves full of books add plenty of homey atmosphere and wine-loving Parisian owner Gilles is full of recommendations of what to do and see. In warm weather breakfast is served in a bijou courtyard out back. It's closed two weeks in December.
