Château de La Colinière - Bed & Breakfast in Maine-et-Loire
Château de La Coliniere, 49270 Champtoceaux, Maine-et-Loire
Loire Valley,
Francia
The château is built on the ruins of an ancient citadel, partially demolished in 1420, beloved by Turner who once painted this view of the Loire – history lovers can learn all about its connection to the Duke of Brittany. You have use of a very elegant drawing room with wonderful views over the river and classic French continental breakfast is served each morning: fresh pastries, breads, jams and fruits.
Upstairs bedrooms are large and simply furnished with views over the park or river and both have en suite shower rooms. Wander outdoors for pure romance – stone balustrades on huge terraces, mature Italian pines and huge views which plunge to the river below. This land hasn't been touched in decades so it hums with birds and insects.
Visit the ruins in the grounds with the owners to find out its full history and why it was strategically so important, have long walks along the riverbank, revel in nature and peace.
