About Château Sainte Sabine

Insider tip

It is not by accident that the appearance of this castle has such an effect on us. Born from the conjunction of Italian and French influences, the castle is unique. Located on the south-eastern plain of Pouilly-en-Auxois, Château Sainte Sabine is one of the few 16th century castles to have survived the decades.

The spirit of the place has been carefully preserved and the 23 Rooms and Suites bear witness to this. Antique furniture decorates all the rooms in harmony with exposed beams, oak parquet flooring, ancient tiles or Burgundy stones. As the jewel of the Château, the Salle des Gardes Suite features a magnificent 5-meter-high French ceiling and a neo-Gothic fireplace, inside 110m² of timeless elegance and unique atmosphere.

At the gastronomic restaurant Lassey, the Chef and his team offer authentic, gourmet cuisine, that revisits Burgundy specialties using seasonal ingredients. Working with fresh, local produce, he infuses a touch of wild herbs and vibrant flavors into every dish, creating a menu that's both creative and comforting.

In the rural setting of the Auxois area, take your choice of visits, walks and tastings. Discover the Burgundy Canal, Fontenay Abbey, le Alésia museum park and of course the prestigious Burgundy vineyards nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two comes with every stay at this hotel - which could add $50-100/day in value, not counting any other VIP program benefits like room upgrades.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
