Villa FR5180

Details of the Villa

Following many years of neglect, this property has been bought back to its former glory, offering a luxury holiday on this beautiful estate. Elegant living is provided in this property with its newly renovated interiors in this beautiful old building. The high ceilings give you the feeling of freedom in the space, whilst the traditional furniture and bathrooms give you the feeling of being in an old Country Home. The three floors are home to 13 elegant apartments, each providing their own self-contained accommodation. A large banquet hall and communal salons fill the ground floor, whilst the sunlight can be enjoyed on the outdoor terrace at the front of the property. There is so much to do in the formal gardens, with a large swimming pool and petanque court, or simply sit and enjoy a good book. A further explore into the grounds will take you to the forest or allow you to explore the caves in the moat. This fabulous chateau is located in the heart of the Loire Valley, just 19km from Saumur.

Nowadays it has a magical atmosphere with pretty restaurants, bars and shops for visitors to enjoy.
