Chateau with a heated pool to rent in the Loire Valley

Pearl of Loire Valley – Luxury property for rent in the Val de Loire

A rental worthy of a fairytale castle

For your holiday, give yourself an enchanting break, come and live the château life in the heart of the Loire Valley. The Pearl of the Loire Valley château, a genuine fairy tale château is waiting for you for a magical stay. Perched on the edge of a plateau overlooking a large wooded park including some hundred year old oak trees, it’s nestled in a green oasis in the immediate vicinity of a small village in the Loire Valley. 

As soon as you step foot inside you will be charmed by the multifaceted estate of this castle for rent.

A property with style and charm

The first level of this luxury property consists of a series of rooms with varied styles and atmospheres. Opulent-looking intimate lounges, formal dining room or other snooker or cocktail lounges, there will always be an area for you to enjoy depending on how you feel at any given moment. 

For your meals, you have several options: an everyday dining room adjoining the kitchen and opening onto the garden, a more formal dining room beautifully decorated in wood. Unless you would prefer to travel in time by choosing the vaulted troglodyte room reminiscent of the Middle Ages. There, you will dine under the enigmatic gaze of a knight in period armour...

The perfectly equipped kitchen has a particular charm. On one side, it opens onto the shaded patio, a sort of interior courtyard with light tuffeau walls, ideal for eating during the hottest hours of the day. On the other side, it accesses a large relaxation area opening onto the terrace and the swimming pool, offering you another option for your meals. 

The enchantment continues upstairs in the château in the utmost sophistication. Nine luxurious suites with personalised decoration are spread out for the happiness of the guests. As with the lower levels, the styles are eclectic and everyone can make their choice depending on their tastes. Classic, château style or more modern, they are decorated with luxurious wall coverings, fabrics, carpets or sumptuous wooden floors. Comfort and space are their common points: the majority of the suites have a lounge area and they all have an adjoining bathroom with a period bath tub or a more modern shower depending on your taste.   

Outdoor spaces designed for your well-being

On the outside, the lovely pool area is the natural extension of the living areas. The care and finesse of the interior can also be found in the garden with perfectly maintained pathways and flowerbeds.  The pool area has a beautiful and large 14 by 7 metre heated swimming pool, several relaxation areas furnished with sofas, deckchairs, and other garden furniture.

A small vegetable patch on the terrace is available to you if you would like to try some salads or recipes with seasonal and extremely fresh vegetables.

Finally, for sports lovers, in addition to the fitness room with a view of the swimming pool, a ping-pong table, a trampoline and bikes await you. Behind the château, the garden allows you to take lovely walks through the undergrowth.  It also offers a play area for the whole family. 

Less than one kilometre away from this holiday château, you can easily walk to one of the renowned villages of the Loire Valley where you will find all of these amenities: shops, restaurants, cafés and a market with local products... not forgetting the famous castle to visit.

Enchantment, magic, this is what it means to rent a château for the holidays.
