Magnificent 19th Century Loire Valley Chateau, Near the Picturesque Town of Langeais Reviews

We cannot speak highly enough of our relaxing and luxurious stay at Chateaufort.
A real gem in the heart of the Loire Valley – and close enough to Tours airport (30 min drive) to make weekend visits a stress free possibility.

This private 19th century chateau is set in beautiful grounds. Once you drive through the main gates you are swept up a wooded driveway which opens into a wonderful view of the chateau at the top of flowing lawns. Inside, the chateau is as impressive as outside with a selection of elegant formal rooms (sitting room, dining, room billiard room and cocktail bar) and more informal family rooms (a breakfast room, a sitting room with tv as well as a kids playroom upstairs).

This is holiday destination that can't go wrong.
My husband and I visited Châteaufort with our 4 young children. Upon first approaching, we were amazed at the grandeur of the property. It sits on 22 acres of beautiful landscape and the building design looks like something in a fairy tale. The bedrooms and reception rooms are impeccably decorated with a mix of modern and traditional decor that really suits. It is the ideal way to experience French living.

We like to keep the children busy during the days and there was plenty to do. On the sunny days, the children played on the trampoline and exploring the vast number of nooks on the vast property. A short drive away are the Villandry gardens and a wonderful zoo. On the other days we visited the Aquarium and did walking tours in the nearby historic chateaus. There was something to do around town every day of our two weeks there!

We have travelled extensively in France and I can't recommend Chateaufort highly enough.
Perhaps the most surprising and impressive part of our stay was the food. Breakfast was wonderful, continental style in the breakfast dining room, with yoghurt, fruit and of course French bread and eggs and charcuterie. However, it was the two dinners we had at the chateau which were the surprise: unlike many French chateaux, where the guardien and his wife are on hand to cook very traditional country French food, the food at Châteaufort is easily comparable to the best restaurants in London, with many of the ingredients sourced from the chateau's own vegetable garden, cooked in a thoroughly modern and fresh manner. If you visit, I urge you to spend some evenings sitting outside eating their amazing cooking.
