The Experience

Set in pastoral countryside, next to the ancient winery of the Château de Sonnay, are two pristine outbuildings newly restored. Your host greets you warmly, shows you the ropes, and gives you a bottle of elegant estate wine.

Owner Frederic has created a trio of open spaces splendidly crafted from oak, stone and steel. Under neighbouring roofs, a family party would be happily reunited. Kitchens are designed for joyous get-togethers, bedrooms are peaceful, and the park is a safe place for children to play.

Set off for the glorious châteaux. Or borrow the bikes and follow the valley, from wine village Cravant-les-Côteaux (1km) to lovely old Chinon – stroll its medieval streets, explore the hilltop castle, and lunch deliciously at Au Chapeau Rouge. Then paddle downstream to Montsoreau.

Reviews

Two very special houses in the park of a glorious château right in the centre of the loveliest corner of the Loire valley. Delightful countryside surrounds you and the best Chinon vineyards are a short walk away. Heavenly!

Location

The neighbourhood

This wine domaine, sheltered beneath hill, lies in the verdant Vienne valley, on the edge of the famous wine village Cravant-les-Côteaux. Walks and (reassuringly flat) cycle paths abound. Borrow the estate bikes, of which there are four, or rent bikes in Chinon. The loveliest town in the Loire, Chinon is an 8km drive, with several great restaurants and wine bars. Frederic knows them all.

Introducing

Frederic de Foucaud

Frederic takes huge pleasure in bringing old buildings back to life, and opening them for guests. Warm yet discreet, and with many creative strings to his bow, he is a generous host and a delight to meet. He lives in the château on the estate.
