Stephan,

This segment of our trip turned out to be the best. Paris was nice, but your area has more charm and items of interest, especially with your guidance and great personal service.

We never felt rushed and you provided us with hospitality fit for a king.

We hope to see you again soon.

Fred and Carole Nerone – Naples, USA

We had a wonderful time at your beautiful place. Thank you so much for all the personal touches and the gastronomie suggestions. We hope to return some day.

Stephan,

What a wonderful introduction to Bordeaux. The welcome and hospitality we received from you and your parents was most appreciated. Your beautiful home was a delight. See you soon in Dubai.

Helena and Marvin Selley, Dubai, UAE

We couldn’t have dreamt of a better place for our honeymoon in this lovely country. Your chateau was the ideal setting for a relaxing break after all the emotions we experienced in the past few days! Big thanks to Stephan for his useful and good advice, and to all our hosts for their wonderful welcome.

Thank you for this incredible week, “intoxicating” in every possible way. Harmony, peace and wonder… The wines, the food, the sun, the pool…

Until next time,

Barbara and Etienne Failliez – General Manager, Hilton Madagascar

Stephan,

The weeklong wine experience ranks as one of our best vacations ever! Thank you for introducing us to the charm, beauty and history – not to mention the wines and chateaux – of Bordeaux.

From the Dordogne to the Garonne and on to the Gironde, we enjoyed the scenery, cuisine and wine.

Many thanks to you and your family for the hospitality and friendship extended during our stay.

A bientôt,

Betsy and Bill Fraser – New York, USA

Stephan:

Bonjour! I hope this finds you and your family well. Already Melissa and I miss St. Emilion and probably more so your wonderful chateau.

We ventured back to Paris and ultimately through Normandy and Brittany before returning to the States. No other place was quite like yours.

I wanted to write you because our experience in your care was incredible, beyond even the greatest expectations. Sadly, the one place where our poor French was the most regrettable was with your parents. How we would have loved to share our daily adventures with them and understand more of our conversations.

Melissa and I both would ask that you tell them hello from the strange, star-gazing American couple. They are some of the warmest people either of us have met.

Needless to say, we have already recommended you across the better part of the Southeastern United States. Anyone traveling near Bordeaux would be missing a darling gem if they did not spend some time at Chateau St. Jacques
Calon.

If we can do anything for you, please do not hesitate to ask. It would be the smallest of repayments for the wonderful vacation you provided for us.

Though our paths run far apart, our time together will not be soon forgotten. Take care and please take a look at some of the pictures. They say it all.

Aurevoir,

Miles and Melissa Curro – Jacksonville, USA

Thank you so much for our lovely stay. You have made us so welcome; our room was beautiful and we hope to return soon.

Pamela and William Clifford – Sydney, Australia

Thank you, Stephan, for a memorable stay. You have opened our eyes and given us an enchanting location to enjoy the area and its wines. Your chateau is beautiful and your attention to making us feel special has been superb! We leave with every intention to returning… and making many additions to our wine cellar!

Suzan and Rick Steinke – US Embassy, Paris, France

We couldn’t have hoped for a more beautiful chateau or a better host! The pictures on the web site do not do justice to the place. Merci!

Lori and Michael Donfrancesco – Boston, USA

Stephan,

Thank you so much for all you have done to make our stay so memorable. You are blessed with beautiful surroundings and such wonderful people.
