Conflans-sur-anille chateau de la barre Hotel : Conflans-sur-anille Hotel

Set in 100 acres of gardens and park, Chateau de La Barre, less than 2 hrs from Paris, is between Chartres and Tours, and has been in the family since 1404.

This exclusive castel, recently reviewed by the Sunday Times as "France's best chateau -chambres d'hôtes- by a stretch", offers five magnificent and luxurious suite guest rooms, sumptuous reception rooms and fine antiques throughout, without compromising on contemporary comforts!

Riding, golf, extensive sightseeing, candlelit dinner upon reservation.

The Comte and Comtesse, Guy and Marnie de Vanssay will immediately make you feel at home as you join them for drinks in the 18th century Grand Salon with boiseries and ornate chandeliers. Candlelit dinner is served upon prior reservation in the Grand Salle à Manger with its massive burnished dresser and exquisite china collection.
Then move on to brandy and coffee in the Salon Rose under ancestral portraits or in the 'Piece à Feu' in front of the huge 14th century fireplace where a game of billiards can be enjoyed under the watchful eyes of the fox terrier, the Weimaraner and Kakou the parrot.
During the day, simply enjoy relaxed, aristocratic living, or else visit the picturesque villages with their manor houses and XIIth century romanesque churches repleat with frescoes, vineyards or further afield, the famed Loire valley castles. Superb riding and golf in the vicinity.
