To the east of Tours (37 Indre-et-Loire, Centre) at Montlouis-sur-Loire, the Chateau de la Bordaisiere offers hotel accommodation in 17 delightfully decorated and elegant rooms.
The chateau estate is famous for its gardens and annual Plant Festival (April) and Festival of Tomatoes (September) – and boasts a fine show of dahlias in Spring and Summer – plus being located in Montlouis sur Loire, facing Vouvray, the Estate owns its vineyards and produces white ‘chenin blanc’ dry, semi-dry and sweet wine.
La Bourdaisière Hotel is housed in a historic building surrounded by splendid gardens where Francis I’s favourite, Marie Gaudin, and Henry IV’s favourite, Gabrielle d’Estrée, used to live. Prince Louis Albert de Broglie (the Prince gardener) created in the castle’s park the Conservatoire de la tomate (Tomato Conservatory), so in spring don’t miss this unique opportunity of visiting the beautiful dahlia garden and officinal herbs gardens. To transform this historic site in a perfect eco hotel, at the end of 2009 the management will start a technological renovation program ending in 2012. The program will use the best solutions for water and energy savings, as well as waste disposal; whilst educational exhibitions will take place at the Château de la Bourdaisière Hotel.
