Welcome to
Domaine La Rochardière,

A natural stage on the Loire à Vélo®, between Savonnières & Villandry

The Domain

The Domain La Rochardière

The Domaine la Rochardière is situated near the main (in the) village of Savonnières – 2KM to the castle of Villandry-, on the southern hillside of the Cher River, at only 20 meters from the bicycling Loire à Vélo.

When we first arrived on the site, we were captivated by the wild and natural side of it, however requiring some restoration on the inside to make it livable and on the outside to give it its current nature centric aspect, and to create an access climbing the hillside.

The main house, mid hill, overlooks Cher valley. Above, the hill goes up to a glade, woods, and meadows, spreading over 2.3 hectares, sheltering the accommodations, while being at only 5 walking minutes from the main village and its shops.

Sharing, friendliness, simplicity, curiosity, authenticity

Sharing, conviviality, simplicity, curiosity, authenticity

Coming from Berry – in the center of France, at the end of our university studies in Tours, we choose to stay in Touraine for its softness and its way of life. Lovers of nature, and countryside, we settled in Savonnières in 2001, for its bucolic surroundings, while also being close to the city Tours. In 2006, we were charmed by this house -typical of Tours- and its setting, surrounded by centenarian trees, with a view from the hill on the plains of the confluence and the valley of the Cher.

Loving the richness of nature and all it could bring in well-being and in energy resources. We knew from the beginning that we wanted to share this privileged environment. First, we thought of holiday cottages, then of a bivouac reception and finally of the eccentric rental in order to offer a lodging to the numerous bicyclers of La Loire à Vélo who would like to stay in a place liked to nature, while also being close to the shops.
