Le Chateau du Portail
Monteaux, Centre, France.
With regret, Chateau du Portail is not believed to be offering accommodation at the present time. This is a legacy page.
Set amid one of the most noted area for vineyards in the Loire Valley, Le Chateau de Portail possesses a history thought to date back to the 14th century.
Although its origins were as a headquarters for those taking salt tax on behalf of the French monarchy, later owners were more minded to create a place of residence, with additions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries resulting in the building one sees today. The place was restored in the 1960’s by the Comte and Comtesse d’Allieres, with Prince Ranier and Princess Grace of Monaco frequent visitors.
Today, Le Chateau du Portail offers just five rooms, of which one is a suite. The latter is known as The Tower Suite (the name gives away its location), while the Toile King Room is located at the top of a splendid Baronial staircase.
Amboise and Blois are both just a short drive away, with many of the region’s famous castles within easy reach by car.
