The Love Room in pictures
Every Love Room stay includes a complimentary sensual discovery box. Rose-petal decoration and bouquet: optional, on request.
A love room that truly breaks from the hotel routine
Looking for an unusual love room near Bordeaux or in Gironde? Domaine du Dahu, in Sablons, offers an alternative far more memorable than a hotel room: a private, romantic floating chalet, resting on a private 3-hectare lake, with no facing neighbours, less than 40 minutes from Bordeaux. A genuine experience for two, out of time.
It is not a love room in the classic sense — no Jacuzzi under coloured spotlights, no red carpet. It is better: a whole chalet just for the two of you, with a terrace above the water, a sunset over the lake, and the absolute silence of nature.
Our entry price: €149.50/night in low season for the Boat Couple chalet. For the price of a hotel love room in Bordeaux, you get an unusual, intimate and natural stay — far more refreshing than a standard room.

Total privacy, no facing neighbours
Unlike a hotel love room where you hear the neighbours, here your chalet stands alone on its spot. No noise, no prying eyes.
The luxury few love rooms offer: nature
You open the door in the morning and your feet are above the water. Herons, dragonflies, sunset over the lake. Far more refreshing than carpet.
From €149.50/night (in low season)
A classic love room in Bordeaux often costs €130 to €250 a night. Here, we start at €149.50/night for the Boat Couple — private chalet included.
Less than 40 minutes from Bordeaux
Sablons, in Gironde, less than 40 min from Bordeaux and less than 25 min from Saint-Émilion. Far enough to switch off, close enough for an evening.
Not a hotel — a whole chalet just for you
No reception hall, no corridors, no shared breakfast. You are the masters of the place from check-in to check-out.
Sensual discovery box included
Every Love Room stay includes a complimentary sensual discovery box — a thoughtful touch to savour this timeless moment together.
Surprise options available
Bouquet, rose petals, champagne, birthday decoration — tell us when you book and we prepare everything before you arrive.

Frequently asked questions about our love room alternative
Is it really a love room?
No, not literally — our chalets have no private Jacuzzi or themed decor. What we offer is better: an unusual, private stay, on the water, with no facing neighbours. A more authentic, more refreshing and often cheaper experience than a hotel love room in Bordeaux.
How much does it cost exactly?
The Love Room package starts at €149.50/night for the Boat Couple chalet on a weekday — 2-night minimum stay, cleaning and discovery box included. The rate varies by chalet (Boat Couple or Premium Duo) and by season. See the full rate card on the Love Room Rates page.
Can we come for just one night?
The minimum stay is 2 nights for most of the year (3 nights in the summer peak season). Contact us to check availability for your dates.
Can you arrange a surprise (bouquet, champagne, decoration)?
Yes — let us know your request when booking. We can prepare the chalet before you arrive: flowers, a chilled bottle of champagne, birthday decoration, a personalised message. That is what makes the experience unforgettable.
Is it open all year round?
Yes. Every chalet is heated. The low season (November to March) is particularly intimate and attractively priced. Nature is calmer and the sunsets are striking.
Are there other affordable love rooms near Bordeaux?
For what you actually experience — a private floating chalet on a lake, in the Love Room package with its sensual discovery box — few comparable offers exist in south-west France. We sit at the crossroads of romantic, unusual and authentic.
The perfect Valentine's Day combo
A night in a floating chalet + a day in Saint-Émilion (tasting grands crus, medieval streets). The gift idea that hits the mark, from €149.50/night.
