La Maison des Vignes - Domaine de la Soucherie

Tucked among the rolling vineyards of Beaulieu-sur-Layon, La Maison des Vignes offers an elegant countryside escape within Domaine de la Soucherie, where relaxed Loire living meets the authenticity of a working winery. The five-bedroom home combines natural materials, soft tones, and large windows that open onto sweeping vineyard views, creating a calm and refined atmosphere perfect for families or small groups seeking space and privacy. Each bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, while shared spaces such as the lounge and fully equipped kitchen provide a welcoming setting for meals, gatherings, and slow mornings overlooking the vines. As part of Domaine de la Soucherie, guests have access to one of the region’s respected organic estates, known for expressive Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc wines, including Anjou Blanc, Savennières, and Coteaux du Layon. Guided tastings, vineyard walks, and cellar visits offer deeper insight into the estate’s biodynamic practices and the character of the surrounding terroir. The house does not include a restaurant, but the modern kitchen encourages guests to cook with local produce, while nearby villages offer bistros and traditional dining. Private chefs or picnic hampers can be arranged for a more curated experience. Outdoor spaces include a seasonal pool, sun terraces, and gardens that blend into the landscape, ideal for unwinding with a glass of wine at sunset or exploring the countryside by bike. Just south of Angers, the property is well placed for visiting Loire Valley castles, vineyards, and riverside towns, making it both a serene retreat and a gateway to the region’s heritage.
