Beyond its elegant interiors, the château is set in over an acre of private lawned gardens, complete with an exclusive circular pool (6.5 m diameter), sun terrace with loungers, and a relaxing jacuzzi spa. An impressive driveway ensures privacy and ease of arrival, while the proximity of Saumur’s shops, cafés, and historic charm adds local allure.

Le Château de la Ronde enjoys an enviable location just 10 minutes from the charming riverside town of Saumur, perfectly positioned between Angers and Tours and only two hours from Paris. Saumur itself is a delight with its lively café bars, excellent restaurants, and a calendar full of summer festivals. The town is crowned by its magnificent château with sweeping views of the Loire Valley and is also home to the world - famous riding school which hosts spectacular annual shows in July. Golf enthusiasts will find a 9 - hole course nearby, while the 18 - hole course at Fontevraud offers a truly picturesque setting.

The Loire Valley is steeped in history and romance, with a wealth of castles to explore, each with its own character - from medieval fortresses to Renaissance gems. Highlights include the Château d’Ussé, said to have inspired Charles Perrault’s Sleeping Beauty, and the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, the final resting place of Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Richard the Lionheart. Outdoor pursuits abound, from horse riding and cycling to canoeing on the Loire. For a taste of authentic French life, the Sunday vegetable market in Montsoreau is unmissable, best enjoyed before relaxing with a coffee on a riverside terrace in true Loire Valley style.
