A circular, wood-panelled library flooded with natural light is reason enough to book this turreted Loire Valley castle – but there's much more beyond it. Grand bedrooms with high ceilings, a kitchen warmed by an open fire, deep woodland hiding both a pool and a glass-fronted sauna cabin: the estate earns its drama at every turn. When you're ready to venture out, Sancerre's medieval streets, wine caves, and celebrated vineyards are a thirty-one-minute drive away, with the UNESCO-listed Loire River winding through the valley not far beyond.

Home truths
Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. It's worth requesting these in advance to make sure everything is ready on arrival.
Outside catering and chef services are not permitted at the chateau – if you'd like professional cooking during your stay, your host can arrange a private chef through the on-site concierge.
Depending on travel dates, smaller groups may not have access to all the bedrooms. Please reach out for more information.
While some of the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

About France
You could easily take a lifetime’s worth of French holidays and still feel like you haven’t scratched the nation’s surface. The most visited country in the world, France has long inspired artists, revolutionaries, dreamers, and bons vivants with its storybook landscapes, artistic treasures, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Paris is, of course, the country’s glittering centrepiece but there are countless beauty spots worth discovering outside of the City of Light. Sun yourself...
