Château De Rochecotte

Set in the scenic hills of Coteaux-sur-Loire, Château de Rochecotte blends aristocratic grandeur with the charm of the Loire Valley’s wine country. Once the residence of the Duchess of Dino and Prince Talleyrand, the neoclassical château preserves its historic elegance while offering modern comfort, inviting guests into a refined retreat between Tours and Saumur. The château features 37 individually styled rooms and suites, many with garden or valley views. Interiors showcase marble bathrooms, antique furnishings, pastel tones, and high ceilings that evoke 18th-century sophistication, complemented by contemporary comforts such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and plush bedding. Some suites include private terraces for a more secluded stay. Located in the heart of the Bourgueil region, the château serves as a gateway to nearby vineyards producing Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc. Guests can enjoy curated tastings and pairing experiences arranged by the hotel or visit surrounding estates in Bourgueil, Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, and Chinon to explore the area’s celebrated terroir. Dining at Restaurant de Rochecotte highlights seasonal Loire Valley ingredients through refined French cuisine crafted by Chef Jérôme Foucault. Meals may be enjoyed in the elegant dining room, the glass-roofed conservatory, or on the terrace overlooking the landscaped park. The estate offers a heated outdoor pool, cycling and hiking routes, and proximity to landmarks including Château de Langeais, Villandry, Chenonceau, and Saumur. Hot-air balloon rides and river excursions offer new perspectives on the valley’s castles and vineyards. With grand salons, landscaped gardens, and stately architecture, the château also serves as a distinguished setting for weddings and private events with customized planning and catering. Château de Rochecotte offers a timeless Loire Valley experience, where heritage, gastronomy, and wine culture meet in an atmosphere of elegance and tranquility.
