Olivier Leflaive Hôtel Restaurants

A wonderful stop in Burgundy. A smart hotel, with excellent service, comfortable rooms and a fantastic restaurant. Puligny-Montrachet is small and quiet, but this hotel in the village square is very welcoming and a great place to stop for a couple of days. We have visited previously for the fantastic wine and have been on the vineyard tour before so this time we decided to be a little silly and book the wine bike tour. To our surprise Olivier himself came out to take the tour and drive the wine bike. Be warned you do have to pedal! (though the battery helps a bit) The man is so charming and welcoming to all his guests, and was happy to answer all the questions whilst sharing his love for the area and his vines. His brother Patrick was frequently checking in with guests at dinner or in the bar to make sure everyone was happy at the hotel. If you love White Burgundy in particular this place is the jewel in its crown, and what a fantastic hotel to experience it from.

We foolishly left our passports in the safe of our previous hotel in Annecy. The previous hotel wouldn't send them to our onward hotel in Paris. Our onward hotel wouldn't help either. Understandably we were tearing our hair out, contemplating a 7 hour round trip to go and get them ourselves. However Olivier Leflaive Hotel sorted it all out for us, even though they were piggy in the middle. They organised to send the passport from Annecy to Paris. This was all done over the Bastille holiday period, which added to the chaos. We cannot thank Aurelia and Sophie enough. This is what defines a premium establishment. It's not about fancy decorations and polite staff. It's about staff that go out of their way to help you.

Amazing stay. great location, Staff is very friendly, professional and helpful. Klima restaurant was superb and the wine list very solid!
