Guests in the apartment are also welcome to dine with us in the evenings, and can also order a breakfast tray to be delivered to their door.

Local activities
You need a long stay in the Loire valley to do justice to a region so rich in history. From the architectural splendour of Chenonceau to the more modest chateaux such as Saché, there is so much to see. Joan of Arc, Richard the Lionheart, Leonardo da Vinci, Eleanor of Aquitaine are just some of the familiar names that have left their mark here. This is also the region that produces some of the best wines in France and you are never far from a cave, be it the big familiar names in the wine industry or the small, independent producer making just a few barrels of wine a year. For more active holidays, there are plenty of mapped walks throughout the countryside, as well as swimming, golf and fishing.
