PB hotel design editorial

Louise de La Vallière, the teenage favourite of Louis XIV who retreated from Versailles to a Carmelite convent in 1674, lends her name and her ghost to this seventeenth-century château in the Touraine village of Reugny. Château Louise de La Vallière was restored and converted into a hotel by its current owners with a brief to reconstruct not just a building but an entire atmosphere — the candlelit, heavily upholstered, morally complicated world of the Ancien Régime. The tuffeau stone façade, bleached to near-white and crowned by a slate-roofed pavilion tower with its original weathervane, presents the composed geometry of Louis XIII architecture, while the latticed wooden gates framing the entrance courtyard carry the weight of a working estate rather than a museum piece. Inside, the interiors make no concession to contemporary minimalism. Bedrooms are hung with damask wallcovering in deep blues and sage greens, the headboards carved into extravagant baroque silhouettes upholstered in crimson velvet, oil portraits of seventeenth-century aristocrats observing from gilt frames. Original beamed ceilings run low across the chambers, stone fireplaces with carved entablatures anchor each room, and herringbone parquet floors creak with appropriate authority. The dining salon pushes further still — antler trophies mounted between gold-toned boiserie panels, cane-backed Louis XV chairs, crystal stemware catching the afternoon light that floods through tall south-facing windows. The effect is closer to inhabited time-travel than period-revival hospitality.

"An incredible stay. Hospitality at its best in an absolutely beautiful property. It’s been immaculately decorated and the staff couldn’t be friendlier or have made us more welcome. Highly recommended."

"Staying here you are transported back to the 17th century - but with every possible modern comfort and convenience. The chateau has been painstakingly and beautifully restored with period furniture and décor to match. Modern essentials are subtly incorporated such as the TV cleverly hidden behind a portrait. On arrival you are welcomed with a glass of champagne and that sets the tone for your stay. The owner is charming and her warmth sets the tone of the hotel. We enjoyed hearing from her about aspects of the restoration project. A delightful touch is a tour of the house explaining aspects of its history and Leon, one of the butlers, gave us a fascinating tour. Seamless service at dinner added to our enjoyment of an excellent meal. Breakfast is served in the more casual restaurant with a plentiful choice of dishes. The garden, a formal French garden, has been replanted to its original design and makes a delightful backdrop if you have drinks on the terrace. One slight inconvenience is that you must drive out of the chateau to get to the car park and the road to it is a little rough. However there is a valet service to take care of this. Altogether a delightful stay."

"We stayed for two nights and three days, and our stay was absolutely fabulous. We truly experienced the atmosphere of 17th-century life, with the staff dressed in period attire and the château’s decoration and furniture displaying outstanding elegance. Mira, the owner, is an elegant and classy lady. She welcomed us warmly and enthusiastically. The place is full of history, and Leon gave us a wonderful tour of the château, room by room. I fell in love with the château and everything in it. Our room was spacious and faced the garden, with a king-size bed and a large modern bathroom. I loved all the secret doors, intricate closets, and hidden staircases in the chateau. I would like to thank all the staff — from those who welcomed us at the front desk to those who served us during dinner and breakfast. Everyone was polite, courteous, and very helpful. My favorite was Ambreus, who reserved our tickets to the châteaux and assisted us from the beginning until the end of our stay."
