What it is

A meticulously restored 17th-century château in the Loire Valley, offering an immersive journey into French history, with regal interiors, fine dining, and an air of aristocratic romance.

What it isn't

A modern, design-forward hotel or a countryside retreat with minimalist decor. Château Louise de La Vallière is unapologetically opulent, embracing its royal past with grandeur and authenticity.

What we think

Stepping into Château Louise de La Vallière feels like stepping back in time. Inspired by the reign of Louis XIV and his famed mistress Louise de La Vallière, this château celebrates the lavish elegance of the 17th century with hand-painted murals, gilded chandeliers, period furnishings, and exquisite tapestries. Each suite is a masterpiece, adorned with rich fabrics, canopied beds, and details that transport guests to the golden age of French nobility. The gourmet restaurant follows suit, offering historically inspired cuisine that pays tribute to the flavors of the past, reimagined for modern palates. The tranquil gardens, sprawling across the estate, provide the perfect setting for leisurely strolls, horseback rides, or quiet moments of reflection.

You're here because

You want more than just a luxurious stay—you want an experience steeped in history, romance, and authentic French refinement.
