Maison Loire is housed in a 19th century stately home, or maison bourgeoise, with sweeping views of the Loire river in the heart of Blois—a royal city full of history, culture, and charm. The historic maison is the centerpiece of the guest experience. Designed on a north-south axis that embraces the symmetry of the period and leads visitors directly to the garden’s bellevue, the building is constructed of patterned brick and locally quarried tuffeau, a creamy white limestone. Hand carved stone ornaments, marble fireplaces, herringbone parquet flooring, and Louis XVI plaster moldings all evoke the artistic richness of the Belle Epoque. In 2021, the maison was reimagined with vigilant attention to detail to inspire the most discerning twenty-first century traveler. With a deep reverence for French classic design and the awe-inspiring history of the region, the owners spent nearly a year carefully restoring the property using period materials and reproduction finishes sourced from across Europe to achieve uncompromising authenticity while keeping sustainability and modern comforts front of mind.

Maison Loire is located in the heart of the Loire Valley of France, a region renowned for its historic castles and concentration of vineyards. The maison is perched at the top of a hill in Blois, a historic town famous for its magnificent chateau– the residence of numerous French kings from the 13th to the 17th centuries. Within a half hour drive sit many of the region’s most famous chateaux, vineyards, and charming towns. Meanwhile, the Blois train station and city center are each a five-minute walk from the maison, making it an ideal spot for weekend visitors from Paris.
