We stayed in the enchanting village of Candes-St. Martin on the Loire River for a chamber music event which lasted for an entire week. Our loft at the Chateau de Candes, named “Loft”, suited our needs perfectly. Located in a thick-walled stone building which kept us cool in 90+ temperatures, Loft has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a lovely living room with a huge window overlooking a courtyard and a pretty and well-functioning kitchen. During the high temperatures of our week, we enjoyed the salt water pool in the garden of the chateau. We thought there was supposed to be some maid service but only saw a vacuum in front of our door on the first day— one ever came in. We are tidy so this was not really a problem.
The lofts of Chateau de Candes are the perfect place from which to enjoy the Loire Valley, whether you’re biking, touring the chateaux, vineyards and charming villages or playing chamber music!
