A Spring Stay near Bordeaux Vineyards

At the beginning of spring, we welcomed Pia and her family, who travelled from Hamburg to NUMA HOUSE, our private villa set in the countryside near the vineyards and less than 20 minutes from Bordeaux.

They were primarily looking for a high-quality, independent home. What they discovered was much more than that.

The beauty of the place, its peaceful atmosphere, and the attentive hospitality that accompanies every stay left a strong impression on them. They told me they had never stayed in such a unique place during their travels.

As the new season begins, it is always a pleasure to see the charm of the place work its magic and to welcome European travellers coming to discover the beautiful city of Bordeaux while enjoying a premium hospitality experience at NUMA HOUSE.

Pia and Jonas’s children became the first guests to enjoy the private pool at NUMA HOUSE for the 2026 season, swimming happily at the beginning of March.

This simple moment perfectly illustrates the return of spring in the Bordeaux countryside. As the days become warmer, the villa slowly returns to the rhythm of the new season and the pleasures of an outdoor stay in a private villa near Bordeaux.

A Wine Trip to Saint-Emilion

During their stay at NUMA HOUSE, they also enjoyed a private wine trip in the Bordeaux countryside. Just a short drive from the villa, they visited the world-famous Saint-Émilion vineyards, exploring historic châteaux and tasting exquisite wines under the guidance of local experts.

This luxury wine experience near Bordeaux perfectly complements a stay at NUMA HOUSE, allowing guests to combine the serenity of a private villa with well-being treatments and the discovery of one of France’s most celebrated wine regions. Whether strolling through medieval streets or sampling Grand Cru wines, each moment adds depth and sophistication to a premium villa stay in Bordeaux.

A Private Wellness Massage

During their stay at NUMA HOUSE, Pia chose to enjoy a private massage directly at the villa, in a completely private and peaceful setting.

The massages take place at NUMA ZEN, a black-wood annex designed in a chic chalet spirit and inspired by Japanese gardens.

Located just a few steps from the villa, this refined space allows guests to enjoy a wellness treatment during their stay near Bordeaux without leaving the privacy of the property.

Among the massages offered at NUMA ZEN, I recommended to Pia the Indian Ayurvedic massage, a traditional treatment known for revitalising both body and mind.

This massage is particularly appreciated during a spring wellness stay near Bordeaux, as it helps release the fatigue accumulated during winter and restore natural energy.

At NUMA ZEN, massages adapt to the rhythm of each guest. The treatment continues for as long as the body needs to reach a deep state of relaxation. Some guests fall asleep, while others simply enjoy this moment of calm and well-being. After the massage, guests return slowly to the present moment and take time to rehydrate with a warm cup of tea, prolonging the sense of relaxation after a private wellness treatment at the villa.
