The best way to describe the place is like a 5-star hotel set in gorgeous wine country with the rustic charm dialled way up

Château de La Fuye is a boutique truffle estate that offers chic accommodation by way of the Three-Bedroom Château Stables, a One-Bedroom Tower —or both, to sleep up to eight

Nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley, 5km from the medieval town of Chinon, yet just an hour and a half from Paris*

Château Stables

Three Bed | Two Bath

In the grounds of the château, this beautifully converted, spacious, former stables is set in glorious gardens with views over our 10-acre truffle orchard. Full of character and charm, thick local limestone stone walls keep the house cool in summer yet cosy during the colder, truffle-hunting months. The covered terrace is perfect for alfresco dining and has uninterrupted views of the gardens.

The beautiful walled garden is scattered with large, shady oaks and limes. Within it you will find rolling lawns perfect for a game of croquet, a swimming pool and our beautiful free-ranging peacock with his hareem of hens (their organic eggs, when available, are given to guests). There are also five active bee colonies producing our delicious estate honey and beeswax used to polish the antique furniture. A heavily-scented, formal rose garden sits opposite the front door and you also have access to the 10-acre truffle orchard.

The interior of the Stables has been furnished to the highest standard, combining artwork and antiques with beautiful fabrics and vintage finds: think atmospheric and characterful but with all the mod cons. All bathrooms feature Lefroy Brooks showers.

Turreted Tower

One Bed | One Bath

La Fuye is a dream location, whether for a romantic getaway or travelling with friends. It’s clearly decorated as though the owners themselves were going to live there...
— David, Florida

This turreted hideaway forms the east tower of the 15th century château - featured in a number of UK homes and interiors magazines. Completely self-contained, its pretty, covered balcony offers breathtaking views over the château's truffle orchard.

Internally it is full of character with a circular, beamed bedroom and roll top bath on the upper floor with a sitting room/study below. There is no formal kitchen so this is a place for foodies wanting to experience local French cuisine by mainly eating out. We have over 500 reviews (and we’re pretty proud of them); read them here.

*Journey time of 1.5 hours is calculated by a 51-minute train ride from Paris Montparnasse to St-Pierre-des-Corps, which is a 40-minute car journey from the château
