Le Chateau De Fontenay

Wonderful! Idyllic and also very practical. The chateau is delightful with a lovely pool. The hosts are very welcoming, they are helpful whenever you ask, and also relaxed and friendly. The location is brilliant for visiting chateaux and you can use the bikes (free) for easy trips along the river. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely time at the chateau - delicious breakfast with locally sourced food including their own grape juice and their own honey. The service was excellent, we were fully looked after throughout, and kindly treated to a wine tasting on request. The chateau is situated right in the river, and we used the bikes provided for free by the chateau to cycle to Bléré for dinner on both evenings. Recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings, with a wonderful host.

Exceptional location We spent 4 nights in the château, which is run as a B&B by Nathalie. The location is perfect for exploring the castles in the area by bike. Free rental bikes are available. However, if you are planning longer tours, it is better to bring your own bikes. The rooms are unique, the location of the château is fantastic, absolutely quiet and right on the banks of the Le Cher. At breakfast you sit together with the other guests at a large table. Only a few rooms are rented out in the castle. There are also three small holiday homes on the property. A large pool completes the offer. A tasting of the house wine is also possible on request. Highly recommended. We thank Nathalie and Philippe for their hospitality. Merci beaucoup!

We stayed three nights at the Château de Fontenay. The Carli family, the owners of the place, gave us a remarkable welcome. Our room offered a magnificent view of the Cher. A heated outdoor swimming pool, bicycle and billiards table are available to enhance your stay. The breakfast is varied and plentiful with "homemade" products. Ideally located between Amboise and Chenonceaux, we visited several castles. Thank you to Mrs. Carli and her team for her kindness, the time spent sharing and her wise advice on the region!

A truly wonderful place to stay with incredibly friendly, interesting and relaxed hosts! A wonderful breakfast with mostly homemade delicacies on the wisteria-covered terrace in a beautiful park, bikes to rent for tours to the nearby castles, and all of this rounded off with a wine tasting with wines from the property's own vineyard, which are delicious. It certainly won't be the last time we stay there, thank you very much again for the super relaxing and wonderful vacation with you!

What a wonderful place to spend time. Nathalie and Phillip couldn’t be lovelier hosts. We (family trip with 3 teens) were made to feel so welcome and part of the house, without it ever feeling too much. The pool is one of the nicest we’ve seen. And the breakfast on the vine covered terrace is in our top 3 family meals ever. And this is all before you get to the relaxed wine tasting, bike loan for trips to Chenonceaux etc, and the views across the Loire Valley. We loved it and hope to return soon.

Staying for the 2nd time at the Château de Fontenay, we can only recommend it! The estate is splendid, calm, tastefully decorated, and very well located between the châteaux of the Loire. The bedding is perfect. The hosts share with passion and generosity on their estate. The quality of their wines does not detract from the stay. Thank you!

A fabulous 3-day stay between Chenonceau and Amboise. We were able to enjoy the perfectly maintained swimming pool and tennis court, wander by bike along the banks of the Cher, and discover the local gastronomy. Nathalie was a wonderful and attentive host (and whose apple pie served for breakfast alone is worth a detour to this little corner of paradise)

We stayed at the castle with friends for several days. Everything was fabulous and beyond our expectations. Nathalie and her husband welcomed us like kings and showed great generosity towards us. Nathalie's breakfasts and tarts are still part of our discussions a year later. The castle, the park, the swimming pool, the bike rides, the visits to be made in the surroundings will not fail to seduce and delight. Thank you again.

The estate is beautiful, our hosts were charming and helpful. We had a great time. On the program, a walk in the forest, observation of the chicken coop, swimming in the pool and a short bike ride along the Cher (impeccable loan bike). We will have to come back because we did not have time to taste the estate's wine!

Excellent complex with a castle, swimming pool and park. Good wine from the estate's own vineyards. Very good service from the castle owner Nathalie and the castle owner and winemaker Philippe - also in English and German.

Wonderful accommodation in the charming chateau! I recommend it!

Beautiful manor, well-kept park, splendid swimming pool and very kind and helpful owners. The location is excellent for visiting many attractions of the Loire Valley.
