The chateau is situated in the beautiful & very quiet valley of Le Loir, which is away from the main tourist area of La Loire, but still within an hour’s drive from most of the main attractions of the region; and driving is a pleasure in this part of France as all of the roads are of high quality. If you drive alongside Le Loir you come to a succession of lovely villages, all with interesting buildings most from middle adge, and friendly cafes. Although this is an apparently quiet part of France there was still plenty to do ( Cycling, Fishing, Horse riding, Water sport, Walking, Wine tasting .... )
If you stay in this area make sure you visit Amboise, with its large chateau and house of Leonardo da Vinci, Tours with its medieval square, The Loire Chateaux, and Le Mans with its magnificent cathedral, old Center and racing car museum.

Guest comments
‘Claude is very happy to share with visitors the history of his special chateau. He has spent many years restoring a site that contains remnants of a Celtic oppidum and a medieval priory. He will even take you into the labyrinth of tunnels that run under the chateau and contain the secrets of its past. When you come down to breakfast in the Plantagenet chapel you are greeted by the sounds of ancient plainchants which create an atmosphere of calm, tranquillity and mystery. Chateau de la Voloniere is not a typical hotel but if you want a holiday that is relaxing and interesting, peaceful and stimulating, fascinating and different, then the stately rooms and stunningly beautiful setting of this chateau come highly recommended’
