To Live And Let Loire

To Live And Let Loire, Plum Guide home in France

Click to book To Live And Let Loire now: from £540 per night Surrounded by woods and waterways, this elegant chateau in the Loire Valley comes with ten hectares of private parkland, a fishing pond (complete with a boat), a river, and even a maze to call your own. With a forest of trees right on your doorstep, you can start hiking the moment you step foot outside of this palatial home – there’s a healthy number of trails to keep you occupied, while those looking for a more sedentary way to wind down can head out onto the small lake to catch dinner. And what could be better after all that activity than a spot of pre-dinner boules with a glass of rosé in hand? Sports lovers will be happy to hear that there’s also badminton and spikeball on offer. This ancient chateau has been well and truly brought into the twenty-first century with its chic, tasteful interiors. We love the elegant yet cosy living room with its warm wood-panelled walls and luxurious, velvet sofas – the effortlessly stylish bar and billiards table help lend an almost Agatha Christie-esque air of old-fashioned indulgence to the home. As a much-loved wedding venue, it’s easy to see why you might choose to spend your most special of special days here. In the dining room, vast picture windows turn your attention back to the beautiful surroundings, while in the bedrooms, a modern take on art deco interiors will have you drifting off to sleep in the lap of luxury. Sleeps up to 22 | 9 Bedrooms | 8 Bathrooms

Dappled Fawn

Dappled Fawn, Plum Guide home in France

Click to book Dappled Fawn now: from £395 per night 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. Sleeps up to 12 | 6 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms

The Bluebell Willow

The Bluebell Willow, Plum Guide home in France

Click to book The Bluebell Willow now: from £810 per night You may feel like you’ve stepped back in time when you pull up to this chateau, and that’s completely intentional – it’s been in the owner’s family since it was first built in 1820, and offers a vintage-style escape from modern life. The decor is, in our opinion, a little hit-or-miss; we’re big fans of the antique maps and chandeliers, but we’re not quite sold on the chintzy curtains. Regardless, the chateau is rustic and comfortable, and the true attraction is the location – it’s surrounded by mature woodlands, comes with a private pool, and the pretty streets and tempting boulangeries of the local village, Saint Jean, are just a short stroll away. The local river (the Indre) is also famous as a spot for wild swimming. Sleeps up to 13 | 7 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms

A Touch of History

A Touch of History, Plum Guide home in France

Click to book A Touch of History now: from £227 per night This gorgeous 850 AD castle is situated south of the Loire Valley and just a stroll away from the picturesque town of Villeloin-Coulange. It was a former residence of the abbots of the Benedictine Monastery of St. Sauveur, as well as a visiting place of the kings of France. As such, it's perfect for those looking for an authentic holiday in the French countryside, as well as historical buffs keen on discovering genuine royal life in the region. With the well-preserved architectural history, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time the moment you enter the home. Luxurious, traditional interiors and antique furniture provide a sense of grandeur. We loved the private library, crystal chandeliers and floral curtains that give the home that je ne sais quoi. The famous bi-weekly market, historical buildings and great cycling paths make this a great base for exploration. Sleeps up to 14 | 7 Bedrooms | 7 Bathrooms

Hardbound Volumes

Hardbound Volumes, Plum Guide home in France

Hardbound Volumes, Plum Guide home in France

Click to book Hardbound Volumes now: from £191 per night If your romantic escape plan involves sitting by a grand piano with a rare book in hand, surrounded by art and antique treasure somewhere in lush acres of the Loire countryside, Hardbound Volumes can top that up with a lot more. The 15th century home is a treasure chest, complete with a massive log fireplace, exquisite oil paintings and rich Chinese rugs, to name a few. The decadent interiors open up to quiet terraces and lawns that are perfect for barbecue sessions under the stars. Far from the the crowds, bike over to Varennes-sur-Loire for your breakfast croissant and go fishing at the Loire on warm afternoons. Surrounded by a golf course, an opera, a theatre and the Equestrian Cadre Noire, soak up the cultural goodness here. The host knows it's quite the task choosing a place for dinner so we suggest you allow them to serve you tailored recommendations. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
