"Set in sprawling wooded grounds, the chic bistro of the hotel Les Sources de Cheverny serves fine and meticulous seasonal dishes that constitute something of a whistle-stop tour of the Loire Valley, as well as a tribute to local producers: vegetables from a market gardener in Mont-Près-Chambord, Sologne strawberries, Roi Rose pork loin from Touraine roasted in the fireplace… which takes pride of place in the dining area: here, cooking over a wood fire is a speciality!" - Michelin Inspector
"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
"Clémentine Larroumet's work includes Les Sources de Cheverny, an elegant château in the Loire Valley."
"A serene property comprising an 18th-century château, traditional stone farmhouses, and cabins set on 110 acres of private forest, centered around a Caudalie spa housed in a double-height barn with an indoor pool and floor-to-ceiling windows; the fireside lobby and spa facilities make it a restorative retreat in the countryside." - Kristin Braswell
"When hoteliers Alice and Jérôme Tourbier set their sights on opening a sister property to Les Sources de Caudalie—their wine palace and spa in the vineyards of Bordeaux’s Château Smith Haut Lafitte—and stumbled across an 18th-century castle in the Loire Valley, they decided to look no further. “This is a magnificent but largely unexploited region,” says Alice. “We wanted to dust off its staid historic reputation by combining culture with viticulture.” That meant replanting vines of a forgotten white-grape variety and refurbishing the château on the 110-acre wooded farmland estate with vintage market finds. It also included setting up mini-hamlets of rustic wood cabins spread across the grounds of this wellness-focused, environmentally minded retreat, which draws in an elegant crowd, many with children in tow. There’s a beautiful forest worth exploring—early risers may even spot a roebuck peeking out—and an old-school music salon among the hangout spaces. But the real hub of activity is the spa, where guests head for treatments with Caudalie’s organic grape-seed creams. To work up an appetite for bistro feasts by chef Frédéric Calmels, cycle down the leafy country lanes to explore Château de Cheverny before diving into the outdoor pool. All told, this is a gorgeous new access point for the Loire. Doubles from about $230. —Lannie Goodman" - CNT Editors
