Açıklama İngilizceIn the heart of the Loire Valley, attached to a grand chateau, Le Clos Lumiere is an elegant and stylish home in an idyllic rural setting surrounded by vineyards.
 
The owners have recently restored this wing of their own chateau and what they have created is remarkable. Step up to the main living space where light floods in from the south-facing garden and you are greeted with sophisticated style and character around you. The original fireplace and wood beamed ceilings are a nod to the home’s historical past whilst cool, modern furnishings and fittings allow you to live in 21st Century comfort.

There are four bedrooms here, each of them furnished gracefully with beautiful features and contemporary bathrooms. Three are on the first floor, two doubles and a twin, whilst there is a delightful garden double bedroom outside that offers guests a little privacy from the main wing. The three doubles have king-size beds and TVs to add to the sense of luxury around you.

Guests at Le Clos Lumiere have their own private south-facing garden with a pretty al-fresco dining area by the ancient walls. You are also free to use the chateau’s tennis courts and explore the owner’s estate if you wish to soak up the mesmerising views of the rural surroundings.

It’s only a few minutes in the car to a local restaurant and a little village with a boulangerie for your morning bread and pastries or head to the nearby town of Bourgueil, just ten minutes away, especially on market day on a Tuesday and Saturday morning. Famous for its excellent red wine, there are also some lovely restaurants and shops selling delicious local products that the ‘Garden of France’ is so famous for such as truffles, cheeses and rillettes.

Canoe along the Loire river and sample the sparkling wine in Saumur (32km), home of the Cadre Noir equestrian school or explore the wine caves in the winding lanes of pretty Chinon (32km). This is of course the land of magical chateaux such as Chateau de Langeais (14km), Chateau de Villandry (23km) and Chateau Royal d'Amboise (66km) all within an hours drive.

Or you could just revel in the fact that you’re staying in part of a stunning 17th century chateau, which has been listed as a French historical monument, as you sip fine red wine from the surrounding AOC Bourgueil vineyards.
