Ideal for a retreat for 8 to 14 people or visiting the region, the 4 bedrooms and 2 gîtes are located in the 17th century outbuildings of the castle. Eco place itself, Eco Sustainable Label and Historical Monuments; Vieilles Maisons Françaises prize, art of living in simplicity, the accommodations are atypical and offer a poetic and subtle approach linked to the soul of the place; their decoration and comfort are not up to standard and they are not suitable for a tourist clientele demanding classic comfort. Isaure bought the castle (family since 1900) from her father at the cost of enormous effort in 2015 and recovered all the elements including the old bathtubs; showers (recovered bathrooms are hidden in each room behind a curtain in 19th century dressing room mode in each room) with a concern for degrowth, eco-conscious sustainable development that has concerned him since childhood, between French roots and recycling. Anti-work and consumption; anti-conformist too, Isaure likes to share the way of life in which she believes, to leave her comfort zone to find a charming and frugal environment at the same time and to immerse herself in history and the sharing of intellectual and true discussions; that the mind dominates our bodies and our conditioning so that joy truly takes hold. The wifi is also random. If you like the old-fashioned art of living; old France and its charm, vintage, that you value the wear of time on the houses say "in their juice"; old wallpapers and fabrics from the greatest manufacturers, old sheets, flea market objects, history and heritage, if you like adventure and getting out of your comfort zone and experiencing the charm of another era , these accommodations are made for you. If you want a comfortable place to sleep for not very expensive in the area but you are not sensitive to these values, come and visit the castle at 11 a.m. in the morning with an aperitif (see website), you will be received with joy for another share! Arrival (4 p.m. to 5 p.m.) and departure (11 a.m.) are independent and the continental breakfast with long-life "homemade" bread, "homemade" jams and "farm" butter is taken independently in a room common shared in “hostel” mode or in the vegetable garden. Both the rooms and the gîtes benefit from a 1000m2 garden. Visits to the park and the castle take place at fixed times with reduced rates. Animals are welcome. The castle lives artisanally and semi-self-sufficiently: chickens, wine, vegetable garden, honey, wood heating mainly, and without any subsidy; a few volunteers contribute to the maintenance in addition to the employed gardener and the responses contribute 15% to the maintenance of the castle; exciting guided tours twice a day at 55% off and a few seminars and weddings complete this Spartan economy. Thank you for your stay and for helping us preserve this precious place.

    This is a most charming location, a very special place with a long history. The people met were lovely. But you need to enjoy to stay in an old building of a "Chateau". A bit of an adventure, a bit haunted, lots to discover....do not expect...

Isaure de Sainte Marie
Two charming cottages and four individual guest rooms in the castle's dependences offer the opportunity to experience an atypical stay in the heart of the Loire Valley. All accommodations have private bathrooms and are provided with bed and bathroom linen. The guest rooms and one cottage can be booked together for groups of up to 15 people.
I used to live 12 years abroad in Latin America, working in tourism and public relation. I have lots of animals and we love the peace of our family home.
The cottages and guest rooms are ideal places to unwind and reconnect with nature and culture. These little oases in the heart of the Cheverny vineyards are set in a rural area protected by French heritage conservation. You can explore the park between 11:00 and noon, and between 16:30 and 18:00, and benefit from a reduced admission rate for the guided tours during opening hours in the castle closed. Enjoy a variety of walks and bike rides, hunting, equestrian sports, wineries, good restaurants as well as the Loire Valley castles. The accommodations are within 4 km from golf grounds and Cheverny, 9 km from Beauregard, 10 km from Villesavin, 15 km from Blois and 18 km from Chambord.
