You won't find another chateau in the Loire Valley where exquisite 'interior design' comes close to…read moreperfection. Guests are invited not to stay, but rather to enjoy the home of Monsieur Charrier. It is sumptuous! Both the rooms and the bathrooms, (many of which have the original deep cast-iron bathtubs that Monsieur managed to salvage, and restore! ) I can't recommend one room over the other as they are all perfectly proportioned, and more spacious than most. However, it would be difficult to spend only one night in the 'Axel de Fersen' with its king size bed and large tower bathroom overlooking the garden! Others rooms are just as appealing with 19th and 17th century furniture. All rooms bear the name of French celebrities or historical figures (including some notorious ones that frequented the chateau). Guests are invited to relax either in the Zanzibar Bar or the Salon Louis de Barberin, before dining in the 'Salon Aymard de Chouppes'. The grounds are vast inviting you to just relax, read and generally enjoy the gentle countryside of the Loire. For history buffs, the tomb of the Marquis de la Fayette, the French General pivotal to the American war of independence, lies in the chateau's private chapel. While this is a hotel for anyone who appreciates refinement, it will particularly appeal to couples seeking a romantic stay. As the only Chateau with its own chapel what a perfect place for a wedding ceremony or a proposal! Choosing which pretty village or town to visit first will be difficult as you are close-by to Loches, Amboise and Tours. Book direct with the chateau below.
