20% discount for 5 nights in a private Château & Pool
Your Very Own Castle Since the eleventh century Château de Chanzé has stood on the banks of the river Layon, a tributary of the Loire River - a cultural and horticultural rich region of the North West fondly known as the ‘Garden of France’.
A significant night in the Château's history was in 1576 when the owner, Jacques du Bellay had the honour of hosting the King of Navarre, later to become Henri IV or "le bon roi Henri", under the roof of the castle.
Having been meticulously restored in the mid 1980’s it offers modern comforts while still retaining its original grandeur. The Château’s impressive character is preserved in its thick stone walls, high ceilings and seventeenth and eighteenth century antique furniture throughout.
It is through castles such as this that the history and culture of the region live on and Château de Chanzé offer a unique opportunity to experience a slice of French life.
The self-catering Château has five bedrooms which can accommodate up to fifteen guests. While the entire property can accommodate groups of up to 40 guests when hiring the neighbouring apartments (adjoining self-contained cottages) and studios (adjoining cottages without a kitchen).
A heated 14x6m swimming pool is open during summer.
The Château is rented in its entirety. A €1000 fully refundable security deposit will be requested separately 2 weeks prior to arrival day.
The apartments may be booked with the castle for a minimum of three nights.

About the host
Hosted by Sonia Townshend
Bonjour! Kia Ora! Hello! We’re Sonia and Michael and are the Owners / Operators and Guardians of the Château which has been in the family for over 20 years. Michael hails from Switzerland while Sonia is from the land of the long white cloud - New Zealand.
As self-confessed gourmands we share a love for good food, wine, music and great company which can be found in abundance in the surrounding region of the Loire Valley.
Michael trained in Hotel and Restaurant Management in Lucerne and in the ‘off’ season works as a private tour guide in New Zealand. This is perfectly combined with Sonia’s background in hospitality and wine and spirits marketing to set a relaxed and friendly yet efficient style of management.
As a well travelled European Michael is fluent in Swiss (German), French (well mostly) and English while I am very fluent at ‘Kiwi’ and currently working on my French.
We adore France and take any opportunity to explore the region and all it has to offer. You will find us most days in the office (up by the pool) or working in the garden. We live in the apartment above the office and you can expect us to be as discreet as you require while ensuring your stay is easy and enjoyable.
