Set in the rolling greenery of the Loire Valley, Dappled Fawn is what most people would picture when asked to imagine a French château; four-poster beds in bedrooms flooded with light, stag’s heads mounted over ornate fireplaces, and a general air of aristocratic elegance. But it’s the lightness of touch, the contemporary thread in the home’s aesthetic, that sets Dappled Fawn apart from other offerings. Sandwiched between a massive private park and a laid-back French village, this is a rural idyll that doesn’t take you miles from the nearest restaurant. The bars, boulangeries and markets of Lamotte-Beuvron are just a ten minute stroll from the estate, making this home the ideal place to try out the easy-going French lifestyle.

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...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
