"Set around a restored 18th-century manor on 110 acres of farmland and vines, this Loire Valley property offers rooms in stone houses, barns and lakeside cabins, a spa known for Caudalie’s wine-infused treatments, and outdoor pursuits such as biking and horseback riding. Off-property excursions to Chambord and the Château de Cheverny are easily arranged, and the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant Le Favori serves a seasonal menu by chef Frédéric Calmel that highlights Loire Valley terroir." - Mary Winston Nicklin, Lindsey Tramuta
