The rooms are all designed to individual, historical themes and the larger ones have fully fitted kitchen facilities. These are particularly suitable for families with children. Most look out on to the lovely park with its incredibly tall trees and unique swimming pool. Two smaller rooms are at the back but these are the coolest in hot weather. The chateau is situated in the quiet valley of Le Loir, which is away from the main tourist area of La Loire, but still within an hours drive from most of the main attractions of the region; and driving is a pleasure in this part of France as all of the roads, even the minor ones, are of a high quality. If you drive alongside Le Loir you come to a succession of lovely villages, all with interesting buildings and friendly cafes.
Although this is an apparently quiet part of France there was still plenty to do. Claude obtained bicycles for the younger members of our party and they soon found that the nearby lake offered Jet Ski hire and quad bikes. This was great fun. If you stay in this area make sure you visit Amboise, with its large chateau and house of Leonardo da Vinci, Tours with its medieval square, and Le Mans with its magnificent cathedral and racing car museum.
Claude is very happy to share with visitors the history of his special chateau. He has spent many years restoring a site that contains remnants of a Celtic oppidum and a medieval priory. He will even take you into the labyrinth of tunnels that run under the chateau and contain the secrets of its past. When you come down to breakfast in the Plantagenet chapel you are greeted by the sounds of ancient plainchants which create an atmosphere of calm, tranquillity and mystery. Chateau de la Voloniere is not a typical hotel but if you want a holiday that is relaxing and interesting, peaceful and stimulating, fascinating and different, then the stately rooms and stunningly beautiful setting of this chateau come highly recommended.
" We were welcomed and invited to join Claude for wine in the Plantagenet chapel. This was the first of many examples of Claudes hospitality that we were to enjoy in the coming week. Each morning he provided a continental breakfast for us with a great choice of food including the delicious local apple juice and a range of breads from the boulangerie in the village. (The charge for this is a very reasonable 6 Euros each.) Claude can also provide an excellent barbecue for the evening meal and we were very glad to accept this on our first day. However, there are plenty of facilities in the chateau for you to do you own cooking and on several occasions we made use of the barbecue kitchen situated next to the swimming pool. During the week fresh towels and room cleaning were offered and if we wished we could even swap rooms. In this case fresh bed linen would be provided. Claude also recommended to us some local Very good restaurants

Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
