La Maison Mulato

Maison Mulato is an exquisite guesthouse offering the perfect blend of elegance and relaxation. The centuries old mansion has been lovingly restored and renovated in an eclectic style marrying classical, modern and international influences. The proprietors, Corrine and Laurent, are gracious and friendly and provided useful tips before and during our stay so we got the most out of our days in the region and avoided pitfalls (like traffic jams). Maison Mulato was the calm oasis to which we could return after days of sightseeing and wine tasting.

Our group of 8 (four couples) stayed in La Maison for 3 nights in July to celebrate a 60th birthday among the group. Firstly the setting - the house and grounds are just amazing, traditional in its layout and materials with exceptional quality and style of furnishings (you can tell Corinne is an interior designer!). The breakfast was fantastic, homemade by the hosts with lots of savoury and sweet French delicacies which filled us up for most of the day. However what made the birthday trip special was the pre-planning and communication with the host Laurent prior to our arrival - he helped with recommending restaurants, vineyards, spa and masseuse booking and every single aspect of our trip. All of this detail and responsiveness made our break in Libourne special in every way possible! I would say La Maison Mulato is a great base to explore the beautiful area or it can be tailored with the hosts to make a very special trip as we did. My sincere thanks to the super-friendly and accommodating hosts Laurent, Corinne and Laura for helping make us long lasting memories of our birthday trip to Bordeaux…

Corine and Laurent’s attention to detail, care and impeccable design skills are shown in every aspect of the maison, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. But what really made our stay unforgettable was the personal touch they both added to everything. From the conversation over the delicious breakfast to the helpful recommendations, they both made us feel like we were more than just guests. It's clear that they have a passion for hospitality and creating meaningful connections with their visitors, and we feel fortunate to have experienced it firsthand. We couldn’t be happier to have found this beautiful place, but more so of leaving with two new friends. Thank you for opening your doors to us and for making our stay so special. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you in Costa Rica soon and returning the warm and welcoming hospitality you showed us. Gracias!
