In the heart of the Loire Valley , the 55 hectare estate of the Château de la Bourdaisière offers spectacular grounds made for exploration . Within this expanse of land , the 14th-16th century castle exudes regal charm . Divided into hotel and grounds , the former is justly named Hôtel de Charme and each of the 29 individually-decorated guestrooms is designed around their varying dimensions . Fourteen of the rooms are located in the chateau itself , with its three apartments available for families and larger parties , while Choiseul Lodge houses 12 rooms including an apartment . In sight of many of the rooms , the immediate surroundings of the castle feature pristine lawns and the manicured shrubbery of a formal garden . Such order gives way to wilder and freer terrain , where guests can discover many varieties of trees : spot the 76 varieties of fruit trees , 180 varieties of dahlias and the 150 vegetables of the kitchen garden . Meanwhile , the 650 different strains of tomatoes in the Tomato Conservatory are a magical sight and feed the menu of Bar à Tomates , an open-air kitchen where guests dine on strictly fresh , home grown and local produce sourced within a 250-kilometre radius . The simple flavours drawn from the kitchen garden are sculpted into unusual dishes full of natural flavours that belong to the region . Recreate the dishes yourself after participating in cookery classes and learn how to grow organic produce from the estate ’ s gardeners . Other facilities at Château de la Bourdaisière include a heated outdoor swimming pool , a tennis court , a fitness circuit and a horse riding club . You can also indulge with massages , reflexology and shiatsu . Equidistant between Tours and Amboise , this is a great base for exploration .
