Château de Grazay is a charming manor house in the heart of the tranquil Loire Valley, set within a 2 hectare estate that features a heated swimming pool, private tennis court and acres of garden space. This French holiday home can only be described as superb.

Up to 14 guests can be comfortably accommodated across the six-bedroom manoir and a separate one-bedroom gatehouse. At the heart of the home, the traditional kitchen boasts a generous range of appliances and a breakfast table, while the inviting lounge offers ample space with its sofas, fireplace, and Smart TV. A charming dining room and a separate office/snug add to the sense of space indoors.

On the first floor, you'll find a large double bedroom with an en suite shower room, alongside two more delightful double bedrooms that share a bathroom. A second staircase leads to the top floor, where a vaulted-ceiling double bedroom and a generous en suite bathroom await, along with two sweet twin rooms and an additional family bathroom. The seventh bedroom lies in the gatehouse just across the pretty courtyard, complete with its own bathroom, living area and little kitchen.

Step outside to enjoy sundowners on one of the terraces or al fresco meals prepared on the stone barbecue. The characterful barn houses a fantastic games room with table tennis, table football, and board games—perfect for all ages—while the private tennis court adds even more to the mix. This is an ideal home for intergenerational holidays, offering a wealth of activities to entertain everyone. And of course, the glorious heated swimming pool and beautiful garden, abundant with roses, fragrant herbs, and open spaces for play, make it all the more irresistible.

Ideally located a short drive the picturesque town of Chinon, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the delights of the Loire Valley are at your fingertips. Vineyards stretch across the landscape—sample Cabernet Franc in Chinon’s welcoming wine bars after a canoeing trip along the Vienne River, or sip sparkling white in Saumur, a historic town crowned by a fairytale château overlooking the Loire River.

Venture further to discover the region’s iconic grand châteaux and an abundance of historic treasures—Richelieu, Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, Loches, and Tours all offer captivating excursions.

Château de Grazay is a classic Loire holiday retreat offering everything you could wish for, while serving as the perfect base for discovering this awe-inspiring region of France.

• Grazay isn't actually a chateau, it is a manoir. It is seriously stunning however!
• One of the bedrooms is in a separate, secure gatehouse across the courtyard.
• There are half a dozen usable bicycles which are brilliant fun to zip around on and reach the local village.
• The excellent housekeeper will pop in once or twice a week to make sure the pool is clean and the flowers watered.
