We had a such a wonderful stay at Bizard, it is hard to say what we loved best about it.
The spaciousness and light of the main living floor was just superb and so well organized for any size group, large or small. The views out the windows from all positions to the expansive surroudning property, with the fields of green, the majestic trees, the impressive ruins nearby, and the towering sky, constantly drew the eye. Restful and yet energizing the same time.
Cooking and socializing the open kitch and dining table was perfect, and the space flows so well from there to the large but intimate sitting areas. We loved the easy access at either end to the second story living quarters, one via the siganture tower, and the ground floor bedroom at the far end was extremely convenient for anyone needing ground floor accomodation.
The upstairs bedrooms were all large and comfortable and the ensuites were updated and in pristine condition.
Walking the vast property was a delight, and a great relaxation and a break fror those for working while on travel.
So easy and quick access to the charming nearby villages, with great restaurants, shops, boulangeries/patisseries, fromagers, and so much more, several of them on the gorgeous Cher river. Blois is an easy drive and Tours a well, among other beautiful cities in the environs along the Loire and the Cher.
And I can't foget the daily bakery delivery - really terrific and not just your average at all!
We really cannot recommend the stay at Bizard too highly. Stephanie is a charming and friendly hostess, and her husband Mark is warm and friendly and there whenver needed. They have done a masterful job of rennovating a historic property into a extremely funcational modernized chateau, and the you get that feeling of a very friendly family property that happens to be avaiable with great privacy to those lucky guests who disover it in their travels.
And an incredible value as a well, I have to add. It is a tremendous value for the travel or relocation expense.
Overall for in a business relocation and as seasoned travelers, we have to say Bizard was absolutely oustanding for travel, touring, and doing business in the region. A peaceful, beautiful, and stimulating abode to base from while in the Loire et Cher!
