Château des Sablons is a beautiful 18th century château with a white stone façade. It is ideally situated on the edge of the medieval markettown Bourgueil which is amidst some the greatest castles in the heart of the Loire Valley.
The Garden Suite is a charming two-bedroom suite located on the ground floor of the Château des Sablons' coach house.
Guests in the Garden Suite are able to enjoy the swimming pool and grounds of the château. The grounds are designed to provide an enclave of peace and quiet and guests are encouraged to use the various tables and chairs in the park seating areas for coffee, drinks and meals. The château makes a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing or even in place of a day of sightseeing.
Sightseeing By Foot: You can choose to visit the area by foot, bicycle, train, or auto.
The Château des Sablons is only a 15 minute stroll from the center of Bourgueil. The town is well endowed with shops, including three butcher shops, five bakeries, three café-bars, five restaurants, a wonderful patisserie and a good newsagent’s shop for newspapers, etc. In addition there are two supermarkets, one in town that stays open Sunday morning and one just on the outskirts, the huge HyperU Supermarket.
The town is prosperous and enjoyable, and a center of wine production. The A.O.C. of Bourgueil is present on every wine list of any size in France and visiting the neighboring wineries (you’ll pass vines on the way into town) is one of our guest’s favorite activities.
Sightseeing By Bicycle: The Loire Valley in the part of France which is the most bicycle-friendly. A separate bike path has just been constructed beween the center of Bourgueil and the Loire. This kind of construction is becoming more common in the area. (A several hundred kilometer bike path runs along the south bank levee of the Loire.)
There are plenty of guides for visiting the region by bicycle, but the immediate area has three bike circuits of about 40 km that provides visitors with a unique visit to the area. One focuses on the vineyards and wine-producing areas, another on the old ports on the Loire, and another takes you up into the hills and along the Chaungeon to see the mills, etc.
You can also combine bicycle tours with the train to extend your range. Almost all local trains from the Port Boulet station 3.5 km from the château carry bicycles. This allows you to ride to Saumur on the bike and then take the train home, for instance.
Sightseeing By Auto: The Château has a very convenient location, being only 3.5 km from an exit from the A85 motorway. This allows you immediate access to the motorway and speeds you to some of the further distance châteaus such as Amboise (less than an hour), Chenonceau (45 minutes), Langeais (15 minutes), Villandry (20 minutes), Chinon (15 minutes), Saumur (25 minutes), Montosreau (15 minutes), Angers, Azay le Rideau….

We had a lovely time at the Chateau des Sablons. The Garden Suite was great. We hope to get back to see you again next year, or we may even try Provence. The holiday was over too soon…. We could have stayed another week with you! With best wishes, Jenny and Tony K., Melbourne, AustraliaDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We had a wonderful time at the Chateau and are already thinking about a return trip. The cycling was fabulous, so little traffic, and the vineyard and river views were beautiful. The bicycle shop owner was really nice and very easy to work with. We will forward some of our pictures to you. We were able to do a very quick trip into the Tuesday market before we had to check out, and we were duly impressed. Next visit, we will try again to arrive on a Monday so we can over indulge ourselves in the market offerings. Vicky and Dan, Queensbury, NY USADid you find this review helpful?

We would like to thank Historic Rentals for a wonderful stay at the Château des Sablons. Our family of four, including an 18 year old and a 12 yr old, just loved the Garden Suite which was very spacious. The town of Bourgueil was very pretty, and the Tuesday market is a must for anyone visiting the area. We traveled from Australia, and we would certainly love to come back. Just magic!

My sister and I had a marvellous time, and enjoyed staying at the Chateau des Sablons even more than we had anticipated. The Garden Suite was beautiful and spacious, with a well-appointed modern kitchen that we felt very comfortable using. And of course, the location was perfect for taking short jaunts out to so many fascinating places: chateaus and charming little towns, great restaurants, etc. Thanks so much for your hospitality!
