Le Clos de Ligré

How we wished we could have stayed more than one night on our way to the Perigord Noir. Large, airy room with access to the garden where roses were in full bloom. A swim in the pool to cool off then a delicious dinner cooked by our marvellous host Martine with local wines. A really charming chambre d’hote in lovely countryside.

Clos de Ligre is a lovely place to stay. Martine is very welcoming and accommodating. She provided with an excellent 4 course meal on our first night. Our room on the first floor was very comfortable. We also used her swimming pool which was wonderful after a hot day of visiting chateaux. Her house is good base for visiting the area.

A very nicely converted old farm with a large central yard surrounded by buildings and grassy area at rear with swimming pool. A delightful place to eat, sit and read or stroll. Dinner is served at a communal table, out of doors under a large lime tree if weather permits. Food and wine excellent, and the other guests the night we were there were good company. Host friendly and helpful. We should love to go back.

We stayed for one night en route to our return ferry, but wished that we’d been able to stay longer. Martine is a very welcoming host, who provided a very good evening meal for her guests that evening - with good French/English conversation. Our bedrooms were impressive conversions of the former attic space. Breakfast was impressive with fruit, cereals, homemade preserves, fresh croissants, etc. Overall this is a really comfortable place to stay and use as a base to explore the western/central Loire Valley.
