Nestled at the foot of the Château de Blois, our home offers a rare blend of historical charm and modern comfort. Designed by an interior architect, this 60m² townhouse showcases exposed stone walls, timber beams, and lime-rendered finishes — creating a refined, timeless ambiance. One of the highlights is the private troglodyte cellar, converted into a cozy spa space with a traditional sauna — perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the Loire Valley. Our property has been officially awarded the "4-star" rental classification, granted by an organization accredited by the French government. This certification guarantees a high standard of comfort, amenities, and services, in line with premium hospitality expectations. You’ll enjoy a stay that combines charm, elegance, and quality assurance. Guests are welcomed with thoughtful touches: organic teas and local treats, plush bedding, and a detailed guidebook with handpicked recommendations for restaurants, vineyards, and cultural sites. We aim to offer more than a stay — an experience rooted in elegance, authenticity, and well-being.
Bienvenue à Blois — and to our little sanctuary beneath the château! We’re passionate about creating spaces that blend beauty, comfort, and character. As interior designers, we've poured heart and soul into making this house feel both special and serene—a place to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the moment. We love hosting because it allows us to share not just a home, but a slice of history and art de vivre. Whether you're here for the castles, the wines, or simply to relax, we hope our home adds a touch of magic to your journey.
Our neighborhood is a perfect blend of history, culture, and everyday French life — right in the heart of Blois. Just steps from the house stands the Royal Château of Blois, a stunning architectural landmark that blends Gothic, Renaissance, and Classical styles. Once home to seven kings and ten queens of France, the château offers fascinating tours, exhibitions, and a real sense of grandeur. A few minutes’ walk away, Place Louis XII is the vibrant center of local life. Every Saturday morning, the square comes alive with one of the region’s best open-air markets. Fresh produce, local specialties, flowers, cheese, and handmade goods create an authentic and colorful atmosphere — just 50 meters from the Quartier des Arts, where artists’ studios, galleries, and artisan boutiques invite you to explore Blois’ creative soul. Guests also appreciate how walkable the area is, with everything close by — charming cobbled streets, riverside gardens, and lots of excellent dining options: * Amour Blanc – Refined gourmet cuisine in the Fleur de Loire hotel, with panoramic views over Blois. * Les Banquettes Rouges – A friendly, well-reviewed spot in the old town, known for its quality food and warm ambiance. * Restaurant Ezia – A Michelin-starred restaurant in Montlivault, just outside Blois, offering elegant, inventive dishes. * Le Castelet – Located in a 16th-century building in the heart of the old town, this cozy restaurant highlights fresh, local ingredients and Loire Valley specialties. From royal castles to vibrant markets, from artistic charm to culinary delights — this neighborhood offers an unforgettable and authentically French experience.
