Le Châtelet, a timeless experience.
Live a unique experience in a Renaissance castle surrounded by water.
Moats, turrets, loopholes, become a lord of the 16th century for a stay!
Le Châtelet is a small 16th century castle classified as a historic monument, nestled in the heart of the Loire castles.
It has been in our family for 300 years.
We restored Le Châtelet over fifteen years and chose to preserve its authenticity while including modern comfort.
Underfloor heating, queen size bed, free-standing bathtub…make these suites particularly spacious and comfortable, with breathtaking views of the island and the castle moat.
The island is fenced for young children.
The chapel on the ground floor is adapted for people with reduced mobility.
Come and relax in a majestic setting, imbued with the captivating aura of this exceptional historic place....
Enjoy a peaceful stay in an enchanting setting in our cottage “La Maison des Douves”.
In the heart of a green setting, opposite the castle moat, La Maison des Douves is a true haven of peace, where the subtle scent of roses mingle with the song of frogs.
We have restored this house with noble and authentic materials such as hemp and lime, wood and stone.
The garden is fenced. Paddle board, garden furniture and barbecue are at your disposal to enjoy the outdoors.
EXCELLENTBasée sur 85 avis vérifiéPublié sur Airbnb StevenOutstanding host. Rightly proud of this beautiful historic building. It was very hot when we arrived but the Chatelet was wonderfully cool - in every room! The garden and surroundings are beautiful too. Within a short drive there are so many great places to visit. The recommended restaurant Les Grottes in Azay was a perfect choice. Great ambience and food and friendly service. The Chapel bedroom on the ground floor was perfect for my elderly parents. The are x3 independant bedrooms and the two extra single bedrooms are accessed through the main bedrooms on the first and second floor. This worked perfectly for us but is to be considered for mixed groups. We will definitely visit again. The experience of history, space and grandure of the place is absolutely amazing.vérifiéPublié sur Airbnb LouisNous avons vécu un moment sans pareil. Le Châtelet est un lieu exceptionnel : un édifice de la première Renaissance française préservé et restauré avec soin - et disposant de tout le confort moderne. Nous n'avons manqué de rien pendant notre séjour entre amis ; le châtelet est très accueillant, chaque chambre et suite offre un cadre unique avec tout l'équipement nécessaire aux invités. L'environnement est absolument magnifique, et les douves en sont l'écrin : avec un petit courant, il est très agréable de s'y promener en barque et d'y nager. Même sous forte chaleur, les pierres conservent la fraîcheur, c'est donc un logement très agréable pour l'été. Le logement est de plus idéalement situé pour visiter la Touraine et admirer les châteaux de la Loire. Nous tenons à remercier Grégoire pour son accueil et sa grande disponibilité - malgré l'heure tardive de notre arrivée - ainsi que pour avoir pris le temps de nous faire visiter le lieu et d'en avoir partagé l'histoire avec nous.vérifiéPublié sur Airbnb RomainSéjour exceptionnel dans un lieu vraiment hors du commun !

We chose to do local trips out based on our hosts recommendations and also spend a good amount of time relaxing in the castle. We rowed the whole moat with the boat, fished off the drawbridge and enjoyed the intricacies of the castle. Highly recommend this as a once in a lifetime experience!vérifiéPublié sur Airbnb MargaretThere are not enough words to describe how wonderful Gregoire and his castle are. It is a magical place, and Gregoire’s enthusiasm for this renovation project is nothing less than infectious and historic. Gregoire himself is such a treat. Our family cannot thank him enough for dedicating so much time and love to this renovation and for also sharing it with travelers like us. Five stars aren’t close to enough!vérifiéPublié sur Airbnb WhitneyIt was a great adventure. A one time stay. The whole area is magical and our host could not have been more kind.

Thanks so much.vérifiéPublié sur Airbnb AllisonOne of the most memorable places we’ve ever stayed.vérifiéPublié sur Airbnb AmyThis stay was a once in a lifetime opportunity! Gregoire was the best host! He gave us a complete tour and relayed the amazing history of the chalet. He made sure we were comfortable and had a plan for touring the Loire Valley the following day. The space was outstanding- a lovingly restored chalet from the 1500s. Authentic furnishings with all the comfort of today: very comfortable beds, heated floors, great water pressure, coffee, tea and wine were provided too. We only wanted to stay longer! Thank you for the wonderful stay, Gregoire!vérifiéPublié sur Airbnb ToddAwesome Awesome AwesomeAnd Gregoire is the best most generous host.
