Colivault

Colivault is a beautiful property close to Blois and many of the Chateaux's in the area. Richard and his wife Sophie made our visit very memorable. Richard was very helpful in recommending outstanding restaurants and history of their property and surrounding area. The breakfasts were magnificent! We stayed in Le Petit Colivault which is so charming and everything is pristine. Highly recommend. This is a special place that is very personal.

My husband and I stayed three nights at this wonderful house in May 2023. Our bedroom was on the main floor and it was so comfortable and spacious. There was an attached living room/parlor area that we also had all to ourselves. Richard, the host, was incredibly accommodating and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We enjoyed meeting Richard's college-age daughter, Emma, as well and learning about the history of Colivault and French culture. Richard made dinner reservations for us at a nearby restaurant that worked out splendidly, and we also joined with Richard and his daughter for dinner one night at the residence. The food was great, and the company and conversation even better. The house is on several acres of property, making for a wonderful place to walk and roam. There are horses, a vineyard, swimming pool, gardens, and various places to sit and relax all around. The house is located in a wonderful area for exploring some of the nearby villages and chateaus. We rented e-bikes on one of our days and had a great time spending the day cycling to a nearby chateau and village. Each morning, Richard prepared us a fresh and delicious breakfast that included eggs from his hens, fresh baked breads and croissants, fresh fruit, yogurt, juices, cheese, and coffee. There was always homemade jams and honey as well. We absolutely loved our time at Colivault and recommend it to those visiting the French countryside / Loire Valley!
