An imposing manor overlooking Briffaut Lake, Domaine de Beauvois is a glorious retreat set in 350 acres of Loire Valley parkland. Tranquility is guaranteed here together with a choice of cuisine, gentle pastimes and a connoisseurs wine selection.

Crafted wooden furnishings grace comfortable and elegant rooms that retain much of their 16th and 17th-century charm. Domaine de Beauvois offers a choice of two dining rooms, either sophisticated cuisine in the Briffaut room or country cuisine is served in the Louis XIII and Louis XV lounges, overlooking the terrace and formal garden.

Lunch by the pool in the summer, fish or play bowls or takes to the air with a balloon ride over Domaine de Beauvois’ extensive grounds. Visit nearby Luynes and its 12th-century castle, then try some wine tasting in local vineyards.
