“An ivy clad French auberge that's housed everyone from Winston Churchill to Rockefeller. Spacious rooms are traditionally dressed with antiques, warm hues and softly patterned fabrics. A fine-dining restaurant serves up exemplary regional fare and there's a pool and picturesque garden too.”

The lure of the Loire

Everyone from Winston Churchill to a Rockefeller or two have stayed at this lovely old-fashioned French auberge, a creeper-covered 18th-century stone house converted into a 15-room hotel.
