Chateau De Perreux, The Originals Collection - Amboise

4-star château hotel set in a 12-acre tree-lined park in the Loire Valley

The Castle & Grounds

Château de Perreux, The Originals Collection, is an 18th-century château dating from 1701, surrounded by a 12-acre park with trees, a river, and hammocks. The property includes a heated outdoor swimming pool, a river with canoes available to borrow, and lounge chairs spread across the grounds. A private tunnel system leads to unique architectural features carved into the cliffside, including troglodyte caves that house spa and sauna rooms.

Rooms & Suites

Each of the spacious south-facing rooms mixes contemporary décor with antique furniture and offers views of the park. Some rooms are built into the rock, providing a naturally cool environment and direct access to the troglodyte areas. The turret rooms feature loft bedrooms reached by steep stairs, while all accommodations include premium bedding and private bathrooms with modern fixtures.

Dining & Breakfast

A traditional French breakfast is served daily with fresh croissants, homemade jam, and honey from beehives on the property; in winter, breakfast is served by the fireplace. Evening meals are made with seasonal local produce and vegetables from the garden, with a daily menu that adapts to guest preferences. The hotel offers a coffee house on site and wine/champagne options, though no full restaurant or room service is available.

Activities & Wellness

The spa and wellness center provides massages, body treatments, a sauna, and a hot tub, plus a separate outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas. Guests can borrow canoes for the river, rent bicycles, or follow walking tours and hiking trails that start directly from the property. Badminton equipment, board games, and a kids' outdoor play area are also available for families.

The château is located in Nazelles-Négron, 3.9 km from Amboise Castle and Clos Lucé Mansion, and close to local vineyards for wine tasting.
