VILLAS FOCH in Bordeaux, open AprilAugust.

With a 4.8/5 Google rating, Villas Foch delivers the kind of seamless experience where guests remember the marble staircases and morning coffee more than the logistics.

We had an excellent stay at this hotel. We absolutely loved Bordeaux and villas Foch was the perfect place to stay. The staff was extremely friendly and always made sure we were comfortable. The room was always spotless after cleaning and left us chocolates and treats in the room. I cannot say enough about the service here! The location was excellent, quiet area of the city right by the tram. But walkable to most areas in the city. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bordeaux.
