Built in the early 1920s using 18th-century French châteaux as models, the 56-room Château d’Artigny is an upscale hotel set on a hill overlooking the Indre River and Valley. It’s an imposing structure, with stately interiors featuring high ceilings with moldings and trompe-l’oeil paintings, grand dining rooms with period furniture, and huge windows dressed with heavy curtains. Rooms have traditionally elegant decor along with modern amenities such as free Wi-Fi, minibars, and flat-screen TVs. But some units are a little disappointing, with worn furnishings, patterned bedspreads, and underwhelming decor that feels more dated than charming. The hotel has a French restaurant, a spa, a small outdoor heated pool, and free parking. The location near Tours and several other famous Loire Valley châteaux is a plus. Those looking for something more contemporary may want to compare rates at stylish Château de Perreux.
