Olivier Leflaive

My wife and I stayed four nights in this superb small family-owned and operated. If you plan to visit Burgundy you will not go wrong by staying here. There are a variety of rooms to choose from. Ours - and I believe all of them - had been beautifully renovated during Covid when this hotel and so many others had to close their doors. As a result, the bed, the living area, the bathroom and the storage were all just first rate. Adding to the appeal of Olivier Leflaive are its public areas: a welcoming foyer, a gorgeous bar and a wonderful restaurant. And then there is the staff - friendly, attentive and always ready to help. Over many years my wife and I have been fortunate to visit France many times and have stayed in many hotels. However, of all of them, Olivier Leflaive is quite simply a standout and in the future we will definitely return.

Everything about this property was exceptional. Rooms were very spacious, well appointed providing both modern and traditional elements. I would definitely come back to this property.

Our bike tour group stopped at Olivier Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet for lunch during a day of cycling through the Burgundian countryside. We had a great lunch and wine tasting. Their wine list was excellent, as was the food. The restaurant is very popular and was full when we were there.

An attractive and charming hotel in lovely Puligny over looking a peaceful garden. Our twin room was spacious, comfortable, had good qualty beds and bed linen and a modern bathroom which functioned well. The price of the room I thought was fair for this location and represents reasonably good value. Staff were efficient, friendly and informative about the region. Breakfast offered a fairly limited choice, but the produce was good and tasty and at Euro 18 reasonable compared to other hotels locally. The hotel is owned by a local wine growing dynasty ( I think they have over 80 wines) and as you would expect their own products dominate the wine card, perhaps a little too much? As their wines veer towards the top end of the market there is limited choice for people who are trying to watch their budgets and buying by the glass is an expensive option. If you are staying more than a night I would suggest buying a bottle for your aperitif and asking them to keep what's left over in the bottle for the next days aperitif, it will cost far less than buying by the glass. The hotel has a fine dining restaurant, which unfortunately proved to be a big disappointment. We chose the cheaper of the 2 no choice set menus at 75 euro. Generally the plates were too wet and sloppy with too many foams and purees. Not my taste at all, but I would have accepted it until the main meat course of duck arrived. The flesh proved impossible to cut, let alone chew and was frankly inedible. Both the wine waiter and the front of house manager agreed the dish was not up to standard and took it away. There was a vague suggestion of being offered an alternative, but as this was the only meat dish available it was a somewhat empty gesture. Even though the house agreed the dish was bad, we were still charged for it and had to pay for it. To make things worse when the bill came my guests aperitif glass of champagne appeared on the bill bottle as a whole bottle, ( which we did get rectified) . The wine flight for the meal is given on advice of the sommelier, it is not costed in advance or pricing offered and the time. The final bill for this was, unsurprisingly, an arm and a leg. This meal was not this establishments finest hour, nor was the erroneous bill presented for it acceptable.

A very relaxing and enjoyable stay in the middle of a wine village. Most relaxing. The room was comfortable and dinner was excellent. Breakfast next morning was a very good start to the days we had a long journey ahead.

We both loved our stay. It was a real treat in the middle of our French road trip. We did a wine tasting, picnic bike ride and ate in the restaurant for two nights. The staff were amazing especially the Italian sommelier who made two British wine ****** feel listened too and at home. The only downside was the great man himself greeting both tables either side of us but not a word in our direction. Must save up for some better clothes and cologne. The food was sublime and the matched wines we were recommended sent us on a little journey each course. The room was perfect and every staff member did their utmost to make us happy. Save up your spondolics and spend a day or two here rubbing up with the jet set. It’s pricey but oh so worth it.

We have stayed several times over the years and were impressed with the recent extension and refurbishment. We had dinner in the Klima restaurant, the food and wine were amazing as usual. It was great to see Olivier still greeting all diners in the restaurant. Can’t wait to go back

How many times have you seen a poor review on a hotel complaining about a problem with the room, and the hotel responds with the typical patronizing attitude of: "If you would have just said something to us we would have fixed your problem!" When we entered the room there was a terrible smell coming from the shower. Additionally, for booking a junior suit that was the 2nd most expensive room, the terrace was sad and pitiful with almost dead plants and no view (picture). The smell bothered us so we went back to the front desk, upon notifying that we were not happy, we were presented with zero solutions: cannot change rooms, and cannot cancel without paying the full amount of the stay (1000 euros for 3 nights). When I asked if at least can they send someone to clean it (note, this was NOT offered, I had to ask), with the response being "not until the morning". I continued to pressure her on the matter to which she reluctantly agreed she would have someone look at it that afternoon. Thankfully when we returned the smell was gone but her attitude soiled our remaining experience of the stay. For example, we may have overlooked the old and tired bedding (picture) and the stained tub (picture; part of the reason we booked here was to use a nice tub!) Two stars is generous.

A beautiful property set in the heart of Puligny Montrachet. The perfect location for fine dining and excellent wine. The wine tour of the vineyards was first class. Learning about the vineyards, grapes, soils & aspect was memorable.
