Stay in a family-owned French château in the Loire valley, a wonderful historic abode whether relaxing with family or friends, around half an hour from the Pays de Loire town of Cholet.
As seen on Escape To The Château, Château Cendrillon is set in 20 acres of rural parkland which affords guests ample space alongside a high degree of privacy. The estate also features a seasonal heated outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by a poolside terrace and sun loungers.
The interiors are traditional and welcoming. Step in to the lounge with its comfortable sofas, satellite TV and DVD player whilst children play in the games room with toys, table tennis and other family-friendly activities. On the other side of the château, the kitchen is brilliantly equipped for keen cooks or hire a private chef to prepare feasts to be served beneath the chandelier in the formal dining room.
Château Cendrillon sleeps a maximum of 15 guests. There are flexible sleeping arrangements over the nine bedrooms on the first and second floors, eight of which feature their own bath or shower room. The master double with its turret bathroom is especially impressive whilst there is also a first-floor double accessed via a lift, ideal for members of your party who may struggle with the stairs. Finally, the top-floor is also home to a mirrored fitness studio with gym equipment.
Indeed, this French château has been restored to a lovely condition, and while it retains the feel of a traditional French château, it also provides guests with a great level of comfort and superb range of amenities.
Less than an hour from Nantes Airport and easily reached from ferry ports of north-western France, this is a superb base for discovering the local surroundings as well as exploring further afield across the Loire valley, known as the ‘Garden of France’ with its meandering river, cycling trail, grand châteaux and vineyards.
- There are also four portable beds available on request – please enquire.
- For guests with restricted mobility, there is a lift that goes directly to one of the first-floor double bedrooms. However, please note there are some steps across the ground floor of the château and some narrow doorways means that the château is not fully suitable for wheelchair users.
- Please also note that the lift is only to be used by guests with restricted mobility (and to help with luggage).
- Children will need supervising across the vast grounds as there are two ponds and ruins (not accessible to guests).
- Car hire is essential across this rural area.
