Domaine des Bidaudières stands apart as a working vineyard estate that doubles as a hotel, allowing guests to marry within active wine production rather than a converted château.

This is viticulture as backdrop, not decoration.
We stayed in the cave room. Was advertised as having a 'kitchen area' but you can't cook anything as the hob is from the 1930s 😂 As a b&b this place is exceptional. The pool is the best I have seen and the breakfast was the star performer. Would definitely go back and certainly would recommend. Very easy drive to Tours. Thank you to the staff for making our stay so relaxing.
