Leonardo da Vinci, in his time, as well as Emperor Charles V, enjoyed the gentle pace of life in our beautiful Touraine town. Kings, princes, and noblemen spread their wealth throughout the region, building castles, manor houses, and longhouses. Far from being mere relics of a bygone era, these monuments we have inherited continue to thrive as accommodations, hotels, guesthouses, and bed and breakfasts. Staying in one of these establishments for Valentine’s Day guarantees you’ll be immersed in a life-sized history book, with all the comforts of the 21st century. Alongside these, more traditional accommodations offer comfortable and relaxing stays in the heart of the Loire Valley castles.<\/p> If you’d like to experience a timeless moment, feeling like royalty, step inside one of our many castle hotels. At Ch\u00e2teau de Pray<\/a><\/strong> (Charg\u00e9), the history-laden walls tell the story of the Renaissance, while its former orangery delights you with the creativity of its Michelin-starred chef. At Ch\u00e2teau de Noizay<\/a><\/strong>, the turbulent history of the Wars of Religion shaped the estate, now a comfortable 5-star establishment. A former manor house, Ch\u00e2teau de Nazelles<\/a><\/strong> promises a peaceful and welcoming stay in the shade of the hillsides and its troglodyte rooms. Nearby, Ch\u00e2teau de Perreux<\/strong><\/a> also offers a relaxing experience in the comfort of its suites, each with a private sauna and Nordic bath. In the Saint-R\u00e8gle region, Ch\u00e2teau des Arpentis<\/strong><\/a>, a former fief of the Ch\u00e2teau d’Amboise, evokes the grand royal era with its moat and 30-hectare wooded park.<\/p> Beautiful manor houses and stately homes also welcome you in a comfortable atmosphere that blends old stone with modern amenities. This is the case with the 4-star hotels Clos d’Amboise<\/a><\/strong>, Manoir Saint-Thomas<\/a><\/strong>, Pavillon des Lys<\/a><\/strong>, Maison Rabelais<\/a><\/strong>, and Au Charme Rabelaisien<\/a><\/strong>, all located in the heart of Amboise.<\/p> For a romantic and authentic getaway, guesthouses and bed and breakfasts are the ideal destination. Some offer top-of-the-range services with complete comfort, including spa or sauna facilities. Examples include Clos du Ch\u00e2teau<\/a><\/strong> and Clos de l’Hermitage<\/a><\/strong> in Amboise, Les Eclats d’Amour<\/a><\/strong> in Charg\u00e9, and Ch\u00e2teau de la Barre<\/a><\/strong> in Mosnes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t A Feast for the Eyes and the Palate<\/strong><\/span><\/p> Celebrating Valentine’s Day without a romantic dinner for two is like giving a bouquet without roses!

A visit to this iconic Loire Valley landmark is therefore a must-do during your stay.
