Le Clos de la Chesneraie

A magnificent old oak in the gardens gives Le Clos de la Chesneraie its name. Idyllic B&B for couples, châteaux-lovers, gardeners In a traditional Tourangeau home on the edge of a small town is a calm, peaceful, elegantly decorated B&B sitting in glorious gardens. In the converted barn are four guest suites, two upstairs with slopey ceilings, and two down, opening to a prettily furnished garden corner. Dahlias nod their heads outside windows, bedroom floors are seagrass and ancient terracotta, bathrooms are immaculate, and muted colours add serenity. Château-hop to your heart's delight – Chenonceau is five minutes away – then polish up for one of Béatrice's fine dinners at the big friendly table.
