This palace was built in the 19th century by a railway engineer in an Italian Palladian style and has an Italian-style palazzo. Its beautiful terraced park offers views of the St Florent-le-Vieil Abbey and across the Loire Valley.
The current owner is an artist and you can admire some of his works which are hung around the palace. There are also some impressive frescoes on the ceiling of the grand hall.
The hotel has four guest rooms which have been recently renovated and sumptuously decorated in a Napoleon II style. The rooms have canopied beds and authentic period furnishings. The views are of the Loire Valley, the Abbey or the park.
