Located in the most southern
part of the Loire Valley in the region of Poitou-Charentes, between the
cities of Parthenay and Thouars,
offering visitors a wide range of activities.
The 15th century tower keep
is a major landmark of Poitou,
and a jewel of France's classical architectural heritage.
The castle is a perfect setting
for enchanting vacations, weekend outings, romantic honeymoons, marriages and
other events, with everything marked by a love of
beauty and authenticity. Surrounded by forty hectares expanse of gardens
and a moat,
Chateau de Saint-Loup also has a large expanse of
manicured gardens with an
orangerie, flower garden,
canal, pavilions, courtyards, forest park and
menagerie building. Nowadays the grounds are
currently undergoing a restoration to recreate the
park and gardens as they were in the middle of the
eighteenth century, based on detailed plans dating from the period. The rooms are a harmonious blend of past and present, providing modern conveniences while maintaining a
medieval atmosphere, with a tasteful use of antique
furnishings and four-poster beds. Steeped in history and warmth,
the beautiful guest rooms, spacious yet cosy, will make your stay at Château de Saint-Loup very
special indeed, where you will find that ultimate comfort and
luxury is yours night after night. |
