About This Villa

Featured in The Guardian's Top 10 Best Foodie Retreats in Rural France.

Your wedding or family holiday will be a true fairytale affair at this estate in the Loire Valley. Situated on top of a hill and covered in creeping vines, this Old World home has been renovated with the utmost care and taste. The expertly styled interior epitomizes the easy, chic sophistication of ‘art de vivre à la française’.

Guests stay in the six homes surrounding the main manor house, each with private gardens and unique character. We especially love the 'Honey House'. Originally used to manage beehives and extract honey, it’s now a three-apartment haven. One house is a duplex with a terrace overlooking the river, the other is a triplex with a terrace on the ground-level riverside, and the third is a studio flat.

Your large party will love having this hamlet (and two swimming pools and 35 acre of fields and woodland ) to themselves. Outside, the grounds slope down to the river, where you’ll canoe downstream or fish beneath the shade of a 450-year-old oak tree. Nearby attractions include the Unesco-listed treasure: the Romanesque Abbey of Saint-Savin (10 km), home to extraordinary  11th and 12th century murals. Natural beauty is abundant in La Brenne Regional Nature Park (30 km) past Le Blanc. Your holiday (or the days before your wedding) can be a time of rich and calm reflection in this peaceful region of France.
