Sleep in the Castle
SLEEP IN A FAIRYTALE CASTLE
A 4-star hotel
in the heart of a listed historic monument
Relive a past steeped in history in our luxury rooms at the heart of the estate. Staying at the Château du Rivau is a unique experience that will immerse you in castle life with ‘luxury, calm and pleasure’. You will also have exclusive access to the gardens after the site has closed. In the evening, the illumination of the ancient buildings – particularly the keep and its machicolations – will leave you in awe.
Each room has its own unique atmosphere, inspired by a prominent figure from the Renaissance or the Middle Ages and decorated with contemporary artworks. Each blends period refinement with the highest standards of modern comfort.
Depending on your preferences, in addition to visiting the château and gardens, you can explore Chinon and Richelieu by bike, taste Chinon wine in the nearby vineyards, discover the surrounding châteaux and gardens, or relax with a massage.
The estate has its own gourmet restaurant. Remember to book your table : Le Jardin Secret seats 20 guests.
