In heart of the Loire Valley’s vineyards, Château La Noraye is an exquisite 16th and 17th-century estate where traditional architecture meets modern refinement.

Painstakingly restored over nearly a decade, this grand château now offers the highest standard of accommodation across three expansive floors, with eight elegant bedrooms and bathrooms designed for complete comfort and privacy. Framed by a hectare of private parkland, its wide lawns, shaded dining spots and sweeping views over the surrounding vines invite guests to relax in splendour.

Inside, the living spaces are generous and beautifully appointed. Mornings begin in a traditional kitchen with its garden doors flung open to the fresh country air. Days unfold between long lunches in the dappled light, playing table tennis in the games room and film nights in the vast light-filled living and dining room. The TV lounge is another welcoming space – the interiors have been thoughtfully designed for both large family stays and grown-up retreats.

Across the top two floors, eight gorgeous bedrooms await, each one with its own private bath or shower room (almost all en suite). Expect beautiful windows framing the verdant views on the first level and wood-beamed sloping ceilings adding to the château’s charm and character on the second floor.

The private heated pool, stretching 20 metres, sits centre stage in the garden and is flanked by loungers and a shaded terrace for poolside dining. Whether lingering over local delicacies grilled on the Weber barbecue or sampling the estate’s own organic wines, every detail speaks to ease and indulgence. Babysitting, chef services and housekeeping can all be arranged on request, allowing guests to settle into a fully catered rhythm if they choose.

Set within a 29-hectare organic wine estate just a 10-minute drive from Bourgueil, Château La Noraye offers privileged access to an enchanting slice of the Loire. Enjoy wine tastings on site, then explore the region’s legendary châteaux, riverside villages, and markets. The cultural treasures of Chinon, Saumur, and Tours are all within easy reach, while the nearby Loire River invites gentle kayaking or boat trips past incredible scenery and storybook castles.

Whether gathering for wine-tasting or simply reconnecting with family and friends, Château La Noraye promises a stay defined by space, style and understated grandeur in the very heart of the Loire valley.
