A fanciful 19th-century chateau with a sense of fun, the Tortiniere brings a refreshing contemporary spirit to chateau-hotel style, mixing stylish fabrics and clean lines with antiques and grand fireplaces.

Set amidst beautiful woodland, Tortiniere has been run by the same family for three generations and feels relaxed and welcoming, whether you’re here for a quiet, romantic weekend or a family holiday.

Special treats include the excellent restaurant serving local specialities like pigeon, poires tapees and goat cheese. In summer, you can dine on the lovely outdoor terrace overlooking the valley. You can also take the hotel’s rowing boat for a potter along the River Indre.

Surrounding area

Set in quiet wooded grounds overlooking the River Indre, 15km south of Tours. In the countryside, but close to main roads and motorways, with easy access to attractions like Azay-le-Rideau, Villandry, Langeais or Chenonceaux.
