Amelia, a luxurious & charming Artist hideaway in the heart of the Loire Valley !

Located where the Touraine, Blésois, and Sologne cross borders, the community of Pontlevoy has approximately 1,600 inhabitants and an area of 5,111 hectares

The location : 

The village is located only 200 kms south of Paris, with easy access by TGV (daily direct trains to Paris and Charles de Gaulle) and numerous trains from neighboring towns (Montrichard, Onzain, Blois, Tours…)

We are 25km south of Blois and 40 km from Tours in the heart of the Loire châteaux country.

The village itself is quaint and peaceful, tucked into a landscape of gently rolling hills, cultivated fields, and protected forests.

Biking and taking long walks is a natural past time.
For over 1000 years, Pontlevoy and it’s inhabitants have benefited from a micro-climat and the majestic presence of the Abbey whose grounds and gardens include a set of 16 beautiful buildings in the center of the village. There is even a megalith on the outskirts of town.

Trains go from Paris to Blois (15-20 mn from Pontlevoy) almost hourly in less than 90 mn.
TGV from St Pierre des corps (20 miles from the house) takes 45 minutes to central Paris Montparnasse or directly to Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Enjoy the proximity of the chateaux and their local wines (6 of the most famous are located less than 15 minutes away) and discover the quality of life in our picturesque village, unharmed by tourism.

1h30 mn from Paris Porte d’Orléans and you are only 20 minutes away from the Hospital of Blois in case of emergency.

Our village also offers a unique community of people.

For centuries, students have come to the Abbey (now the property of an American entrepreneur that welcomes university programs from all over the world).

In bygone years the nobility sent their youth to the Abbey for their studies and built prestigious homes. Therefore, the village is surrounded by noble properties and lovely gardens, not to mention the stunning countryside. Surrounded by farm lands, all routes seem to lead to Pontlevoy.
