Chateau Seiguier

The villa

Built in the XVIIth century and renovated in 1997, Chateau Seiguier combines the charm of an historic rental with the comfort and amenities of a modern build. Located between Chambord and Sancerre, Chateau Seiguier is the perfect place to explore the royal castles or the world - famous vineyards of the Loire valley. The village offers tennis courts and a horseback riding school for guests who like to get active, and there are five golf courses (including two of the best in Europe!) located between 15 minutes and an hour's drive away. Wildlife fans can enjoy the occasional glimpse of deer under their windows, and anglers can try their hand at catching fish in the river or the chateau's private pond. Children will have a whale of a time playing outside or exploring the grounds, and there is a private access to the large, 15x5m swimming pool located in the 2.5 acre private garden. Endless fun awaits you all year round - this is one chateau where guests can't fail to be delighted with both the accommodation and location.

The village is located between Chambord (67km) and Sancerre (60km) and is the ideal place to sample a traditional - and wonderfully laid back - French lifestyle. The famous Loire castles of Cheverny, Chenonceau, Chambord, Amboise, Langeais or the Clo Luce (former residence of Leonardo Da Vinci!) are located between 30 minutes and 1 hour drive away. Lovely vineyards are located, roughly 35 minutes from the house. The Loire Valley is rightfully famous for its excellent wines, and a visit to the area wouldn't be complete without visiting the vineyards and having a taste! During the summer there is also an incredible and unique festival and historical pageant in Saint Fargeau (80km away) that involves hundreds of villagers. Paris is a 2 hours' drive from the chateau! There are also trains departing from Orleans and the journey takes only 54 minutes!
