About this property

Situated in the heart of the park of the Château d'Hodebert, the maison des Ecuries d'Hodebert is the ideal place to meet up with friends or family to visit the castles of the Loire Valley and enjoy nature.

The former stables of Hodebert housed several stalls, a saddlery and accommodation for the lad, as well as a forge and a carpentry shop. This almost abandoned building required extensive work to create a comfortable and authentic guest house. With its independent access alley, the arrival to the stables through the forest is magical.

Our philosophy: to fit out a house as if it were intended for our friends, our family or simply for us.
Located in the heart of the park, the stables of Hodebert is the ideal place to meet up with friends or family and visit the Loire châteaux and enjoy the surrounding nature. Wood burning fire place, 3 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, an access to the ecologic pool of the property…

This almost abandoned building required a considerable amount of work to turn it into a comfortable and authentic guest house. Our philosophy: furnishing a house as if it was meant for our friends, our extended family

The house is decorated with care, very quiet and ideally situated for exploring the Loire castles, vineyards, antique shops, etc....

It is very comfortable with its 3 bathrooms and its large kitchen as well as its large outdoor space reserved for you (parasol, garden table...). Heated swimming pool from the beginning of June. For large families or friends, possibility to be up to 12 people by renting the gate house (4 people) located at the entrance of the property and even 18 by booking our 3 guest rooms.

Beautifully decorated converted stables next to chateau

We had the most wonderful stay at the Maison des Ecuries. Our host, Ivana, could not have been more welcoming (breakfast items, tea/ coffee, even dishes of kiwis from her greenhouse were there), and we felt immediately at home. The stables are close to the main house but very private. The main point I want to emphasize about the place is how lovely they are - I have stayed at MANY VRBO houses, and this one is has the best interior design by far. Huge kitchen with lovely round table to eat at, wonderful living room with enormous fireplace (where we had lots of cosy time together as we were there in December), well-appointed bedrooms (two of the upstairs rooms interconnect with two bathrooms and baths). You want to go out and explore the Loire chateaux and restaurants, but you also want to buy the delicious local food and cook at home. We explored the area (tons of chateaux, big and small), walked in the woods, played tennis in the rain, even found a padel ball court nearby.

Wonderful and quiet retreat between Le Mans and Tours

It was a pleasure to meet Ivana and her family and spending time in their wonderful and thoughtful and stylishly furnished house. For anyone, who wants to spend their holidays together as a big family or with friends this is a full recommendation ! The pool has just the right size and depth for families with smaller children too. Thanks again!
