An authentic hotel in Saumur
Welcome to 1896: the Saumur of the Belle Époque opens its doors to you. The Château la Comtesse de Loire was then the majestic property of Madame Baillou de la Brosse, where she lived with her four children.
In the 1920s, it was acquired by Monsieur Alfred Meyer and his wife to settle near the prestigious "GRATIEN & MEYER”.
Owned by the family until 2002, the Château has since changed hands and invites guests to enjoy its splendor during upscale hotel stays, nestled in a remarkably wooded park, right in the heart of the city.
Today, it's up to you to continue writing the story of our charming hotel in the center of Saumur!
The prime location
The wooded park
Château La Comtesse de Loire is surrounded by a nearly 2-hectare wooded park, offering a verdant setting appreciated for its tranquility and views of the surrounding nature.
The bedrooms, reception areas, and terrace benefit from privileged views of this verdant landscape, composed of numerous remarkable species: plane trees, oaks, beeches, American walnut trees, bald cypresses, yews, and Judas trees.
Currently undergoing restoration, the park is being revitalized to gradually restore its character and harmony.
Discover the Building
The castle, with its Eiffel structure and its tuffeau stone, imposes its elegance from its steps topped with a monumental marquise.
Of classic and romantic decoration, its facade is full of details: rough grooves, garlands of draperies and flowers, stone ornaments and mascarons revealing the moods of its owner: anger, anguish, anxiety, sorrow, malice and joy.
On the park side façade, we can see the cartouches and coats of arms of the families of La Brosse and Bouyer de Saint-Gervais de Monhoudou. A magnificent Mansard-style roof crowns the castle with its fish scale slates and fire pots.
