What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Maison Pavlov’s exquisite gardens promise a lush getaway in a region already known for its verdure and the fruit of the vine.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Quiet Le Bouscat is lined with leafy residential avenues, and central Bordeaux is a ten-minute tram ride away.
The rooms
Exposed timber beams cross the ceilings above bold patterned headboards, and bathrooms are lined in marble.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool sits in the garden, lined with wooden loungers and open from May to October.
The spa
The garden wellness pavilion holds a sauna and hammam, with treatments using Océopin maritime pine seed oil.
Restaurant Maison Pavlov
The restaurant serves seasonal dishes made with herbs picked from the garden, set against dark green walls and exposed beams.
How it began
Bordeaux restaurateurs Mary Henchley and Maxime Rosselin of Le Chien de Pavlov spent a year restoring the historic estate.
