Château Vary

Loire - Maine et Loire NE of Angers
A wide selection of accommodation in this highly-rated Château

Le Château et son terasse

Château Vary stands in grounds of 175 acres of gardens, forest and farmland. The parkland was landscaped 80 years ago to provide a setting of breathtaking magnificence.  It has been in the Sauve family for five generations and Monsieur and Madame Sauve extend a warm and personal welcome to our guests.

Château Vary has welcomed visitors since 1985 and during this period has extensively refurbished all accommodation. An inspection visit from ‘Crystal’ (one of the largest hotel and self-catering operators) graded the stables and cottage as 3* and the Château as 4*. Quality and comfort are of paramount importance, as well as practical items such as washing machines and dishwashers which are to be found in all apartments. The Château apartments are elegantly furnished in traditional style each being self-contained with separate entrances. The stables and cottage are furnished in rustic style, and are independently located in the grounds. The size of the grounds and the layout of the accommodation ensures everyone has space and privacy. Each unit has garden furniture and barbecue. It is a wonderful setting for a family holiday.

The smaller 5m x 9m is covered and heated which is particularly appreciated in the early and late season. The second larger pool is 12m x 6m and is refreshing during the hotter months.

 

There are the following shared facilities: bowls area, swings, paddling pool, short tennis, fishing pond, table tennis, forest walks, volleyball, children's play house. 

Activities locally.  Nearby in the local village of Jarzé (1km) there is indoor and outdoor tennis and a restaurant and shops. In the local area there is bike hire, golf, horse riding and canoeing. This area offers the true flavour of rural France, with interesting market towns, excellent restaurants, a wide range of wines, and of course the grand Châteaux.
