We stayed in this beautiful chateau for four nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The chateau is set in magnificent grounds along the River Cher and is perfectly placed for exploring the Loire Valley. Nathalie and Phillippe were absolutely charming hosts, always extremely helpful and ready with local knowledge and recommendations for restaurants and trips. Nathalie's home-made breakfasts... More

We stayed at this cosy family-owned château last weekend..& were delighted with our experience! Nathalie, Philippe & Pierre-Olivier were all super friendly and helpful. They welcomed us into their beautiful home, which we had chosen as a base from which to briefly explore the Loire Valley. The little village of Bléré is just 10km from Amboise and very central to...

We chose the Château for a New Year's get-together with friends, and were very pleased with our stay. We all have children, and the domaine is absolutely perfect for long walks & outside playtime, complete with a chicken house that the kids loved to go and check out. The individual houses are lovely, spacious, and furnished with everything you need... More

We discovered the Chateau de Fontenay... More

Fantastic location, beautiful chateau, Nathalie and Phillipe were briliant hosts full of information on the best places to eat and visit. Their white wine tastes GREAT too, and Nathalie's home made jams are to die for. Everything is so green in the area, and very quiet. Negatives-A bit hard to find at first, the turnoff is at the bottom of... More
