Staays

This low-key retreat claims land in the heart of the Loire Valley. And it’s totally beautiful, surrounded by bushy green forest, a handful of wooden cabins and a charming château. It’s also very peaceful – something that has been carefully designed and curated by owners Alice and Jerome Tourbier, while also feeling homely in its interiors. Naturally, the spa is one of the main reasons you’ll want to stay, the spa harnesses the power of the grape and marries it with warm, wooden accents. There’s plenty to do, with lots of space to explore. Just ask the team, who know perfectly well to give you your space if needed or point you in the direction of the nearest vineyard and village to wander.
