Elegant manor in the heart of the Loire valley

In the heart of the Loire Valley, a stunning manorhouse set in an acre of grounds in one of the valley's prettiest hilltop villages. The historic town of Chinon, with its restaurants, stores and services, is a 10-minute drive away. The property is entered through grand gates. The horseshoe-shaped front courtyard surrounds a formal topiary garden of boxwood and roses with a fountain. On the ground floor are the reception rooms which include a living room, entrance hall, dining room, second dining room and kitchen. The elegant staircase leads to 4 bedrooms on the second floor and a further 3 bedrooms in the attic on the second floor. The two wings house further guest rooms, a large barn for events, a studio apartment and two fully renovated apartments. In all, the house can accommodate 40 guests. The west garden features extensive lawns around an oval-shaped swimming pool, a dining terrace and mature trees. Everywhere, authentic architectural elements evoke the oldest part of the house's construction: stone fireplaces, leaded stained-glass windows, decorative dormer windows and the remarkable vaulted cellars beneath the house. Despite its elegant facade, the house has an ancient and fascinating history.
