Château de Détilly - Bed & Breakfast in Indre-et-Loire
Chateau de Detilly, 18 rue des Fromentaux, 37420 Beaumont-en-Veron, Indre-et-Loire
Loire Valley,
Francia
The château has a turbulent past which you can delve into if you wish, but it looks as though nothing has disturbed its genteel peace for aeons. Established trees envelop you, the rose garden has no less than 3,000 varieties, the orchard produces fruit for jams at breakfast and the beautiful orangery sits calmly by the pool. Wander at will to find many terraces and quiet places to sit and listen to birdsong - perhaps with a glass of wine from the owners' excellent cellar.
Bedrooms are all upstairs and you'll enjoy American style comfort with thick wall-to-wall carpets, grand views and enormous beds; bathrooms have a bit of glitz, some with baths in the middle of the room. Wake to breakfast on the terrace: locally-sourced and organic bread and pastries, fresh fruit, hams, cheeses, eggs and cereals.
Set off on walks along the river Vienne, perhaps to Candes-St-Martin for lunch. Hire bikes: the Loire à Vélo cycle route passes close by.

Local points of interest from Pierre Fontaney & Grahame Elliott:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Pierre Fontaney & Grahame Elliott:
- Château de Détilly is in the heart of the beautiful and historic Loire Valley: mediaeval Chinon and its fortress, the châteaux of Azay-le-Rideau, Villandry, Ussé ("Sleeping Beauty's Castle"), Langeais and Saumur are all between 10 and 30 minutes away.
- There are many dining options, from simpler to more gastronomic, particularly in the old town of Chinon - where Joan of Arc first recognized the King of France - or along the stunning Loire River in Candes Saint-Martin or Montsoreau.
- Wine-lovers will also be content: situated in the Chinon appellation, Détilly is also only a few minutes away from Bourgueil, both known since ancient times for their quality wines, particularly red. And only one mile away is the local "Maison du vin".
