Description for B&B:
We are situated in Mesland, a delightful village on the northern banks of the Loire River, nestled between the towns of Blois and Amboise. Mesland is a key stop along the renowned Wine Road of the Loire Valley, and it offers convenient proximity to the main châteaux in the area.This charming former wine estate was constructed in the mid-19th century and consists of a grand mansion built in 1846, a tranquil park adorned with ancient trees, and the former stable and wine production facility. The Clos, where the last harvest took place in 1955, is a testament to the estate's rich history.
Our property features a 14-meter swimming pool and comfortable deckchairs, providing a perfect sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation in between exploring the châteaux, indulging in wine tastings, embarking on walking tours, or cycling through the picturesque countryside.
The Loire Valley, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases breathtaking landscapes, including the untamed Loire River, expansive forests, and majestic Royal Castles.
Mesland, our enchanting village, is situated on the renowned Wine Road and surrounded by vineyards. Founded as a Priory in the 12th century by monks from the Marmoutier Abbey, the village's Notre-Dame church still stands as a testament to its history. Mesland has even given its name to the "Touraine-Mesland" category of wines from the Loire Valley, which you can sample directly from the producers.
The Clos Sainte-Marie is ideally located near some of the most renowned castles in the Loire Valley, including Château de Chaumont sur Loire with its international garden festival (7 km), Château d’Amboise and the "Clos Lucé," once home to Leonardo Da Vinci (19 km), Château de Blois (23 km), Château de Chenonceau (30 km), Château de Cheverny (35 km), and Château de Chambord (44 km). We highly recommend using the Michelin green guide "Castles of the Loire" to explore the region.
Families with children will find an abundance 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 reserve with its "safari train" in Autrèche (11 km), and the Beauval Zoo, home to over 4,000 animals, in Saint-Aignan (40 km).
In addition to castle visits, there are numerous activities available in the region, including wine tastings (we can provide recommendations for local producers), hot air balloon flights above the Loire River and the castles, traditional boat tours to discover the Loire, a variety of walking and biking tours (we can assist with bike rentals), and horseback riding at the Centre équestre du Val de Loire (16 km) for equestrian enthusiasts.
For golf enthusiasts, the region offers several greens to choose from, including Golf de la Carte (18-hole, 10 km), Golf de Fleuray-Amboise (9-hole, 10 km), and Golf du Château de Cheverny (18-hole, spanning over 6 km, 35 km).
