Description for B&B:
We are situated in Mesland, a picturesque village on the northern bank of the Loire river, nestled between the towns of Blois and Amboise. Mesland is a notable stop along the renowned vineyard route of the Loire Valley and is conveniently located near the main châteaux.Our property, a former wine estate, was constructed in the mid-19th century and consists of a magnificent mansion built in 1846, a tranquil park adorned with century-old trees, and the former stable and wine-making facility. The last harvest took place in the Clos in 1955.
For relaxation and rejuvenation in between exploring the châteaux, wine tastings, guided walks, and bike tours, we offer a 14m swimming pool with comfortable deckchairs.
The Loire Valley, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, boasts breathtaking landscapes including the untamed Loire river, expansive forests, and majestic Royal Castles.
Situated on the Wine Road and surrounded by vineyards, Mesland, our charming village, was established as a Priory in the 12th century by monks from the Marmoutier Abbey. The Notre-Dame church still stands as a testament to its history. Mesland has even lent its name to the "Touraine-Mesland" category of Loire valley wines, which you can taste directly from the producers.
The Clos Sainte-Marie boasts an ideal location near the most renowned castles of the Loire Valley, including Chaumont sur Loire with its international festival of gardens (7 km), Amboise and the "Clos Lucé", once home to Leonardo Da Vinci (19 km), Blois (23 km), Chenonceau (30 km), Cheverny (35 km), and Chambord (44 km). We highly recommend the Michelin green guide "Castles of the Loire" for exploring the region.
Families with children will find a multitude of activities in the area, such as mini-castles in Amboise (20 km), the Loire Valley Aquarium in Lussault-sur-Loire (23 km), "Lulu Parc" for the little ones in Rochecorbon (36 km), the Beaumarchais animal reservation and its "safari train" in Autrèche (11 km), and the Beauval Zoo with over 4000 animals in Saint-Aignan (40 km).
In addition to castle visits, the region offers a wide range of activities. These include wine tastings (we are happy to recommend local producers), hot air balloon flights above the Loire river and the castles, boat tours to discover the Loire, guided walking and biking tours (we can assist with bike rentals), and horse riding at the Centre équestre du Val de Loire (16 km).
Golf enthusiasts will be pleased to know that there are several golf courses in the region, including Golf de la Carte (18-hole) just 10 km away, Golf de Fleuray-Amboise (9-hole) also 10 km away, and Golf du Château de Cheverny (18-hole spanning over 6 km) at a distance of 35 km.
