01 · In a sentence

Château de Valesne in Saché.

Château de Valesne rises from the Indre Valley in Saché with manicured grounds overlooking the Loire's tributary landscape.

This 37-room hotel occupies a restored château where stone towers frame gardens descending toward tree-lined horizons.

The venue spans 12 hectares of grounds suitable for ceremonies, receptions, and multi-day guest stays.

We very much felt at home here. The rooms were excellent, we looked forward to breakfast each morning. The hosts provided great advice on things to do during the day as well as places to dine. They went out of their way to make our stay so comfortable. We even got a back scene tour of the chateau including the attic and new areas being prepared. This one of the best places I have ever and I hope to return again.
