Saumur

A Belle Époque Retreat in the Heart of Saumur

Built in 1896, Château La Comtesse de Loire & Spa offers a distinctive stay in a characterful late-19th-century residence, tucked into a leafy setting in central Saumur.

A Historic Residence with a Slower Pace of Life

Today, the house welcomes guests as a four-star hotel, with ten individually styled, air-conditioned rooms and a collection of inviting spaces in which to relax.

The setting is part of its appeal. Despite being in the centre of Saumur, the property is surrounded by approximately two hectares of parkland, giving the hotel a distinctly green and secluded atmosphere. Guests can spend time on the terrace overlooking the grounds, settle into the welcoming bar or explore the château’s interiors before heading out to discover the town and the nearby Loire.

For a more restorative stay, the wellness area occupies a room on the garden level. Access is by reservation and includes facilities such as a jacuzzi, sauna, hammam and sensory shower, with massages available to book. The outdoor heated pool is seasonal, generally open from May to September. Together, these features make the château a place to enjoy both Saumur’s cultural heritage and some unhurried time away.

Belle Époque Character

Dating from 1896, the château has the atmosphere of a private historic residence rather than a conventional hotel. Its ten rooms are individually styled and air-conditioned, offering guests a comfortable place to return to after a day exploring Saumur. The building’s period character and intimate scale are central to its appeal.

A Green Oasis in the City

The château is surrounded by approximately two hectares of wooded parkland, an unusual setting for a hotel in central Saumur. In the warmer months, the heated outdoor swimming pool offers another way to enjoy the grounds, with sun loungers around the water. The pool is seasonal, so guests should check its opening dates when planning their stay.

Spa experiences can also be booked by visitors who are not staying overnight, making this a distinctive place to enjoy a wellbeing break in Saumur.
