Superbe!
An amazing place in my favourite red wine region of France (which alas at the moment I cannot drink). To be in this great setting when the vines are just being picked was a joy. Frederic the owner is a wonderful gracious host and it made it a more personal stay to have the host nearby if needed, and be left his own wine to drink. On the first night we were invited to a soiree at his chateau which we missed as too tired after a long journey. This is a fantastic setting and the accommodation is very well equipped. Plenty to see and do within a 20 mile radius. We stayed for 7 nights but left wishing we had booked for more. Would recommend without hesitation, you could stay without leaving the environs of the chateau, just relax , read and enjoy the view. We have stayed in numerous places and this is in our top two.

Focal point for Loire Chateaux tours
We found the Relais de Sonnay a perfect ‚base camp‘ for E-bike tours to the surrounding historical sites like the beautifully reconstructed Forteresse de Chinon, the chateaux of Azay-le-Rideau, Saumur, Montsoreau, d’Ussé or the Royal Abbey of Fontefraud. Farther sites like Chenonceau or Chambord can be done by car in a day. Frederic is a charming host and not short of any helpful hints and practical suggestions, e.g. on where to go to eat. After whatever undertakings during the day it feels good to come ‚home‘ to a well equipped, stylish retreat and end the day with a bottle of wine in the quiet garden. More than a nice place.

Excellent séjour au coeur de l'Anjou
Nous avons passé une très belle semaine au domaine de Sonnay, dans un décor exceptionnel, très calme et chargé d'histoire. La loge Saint-Exupéry que nous occupions est une suite de très grande qualité, aménagée avec beaucoup de goût et de soin. Le domaine de Sonnay se trouve à proximité des nombreux et beaux châteaux de la région : Azay-le-Rideau, Ussé, Villandry, etc. et de la forteresse de Chinon. Des sites à visiter absolument. Le propriétaire des lieux, M. de Foucaud, très impliqué dans la préservation du patrimoine de Chinon et sa région, vous réserve un accueil très agréable. N'hésitez pas à le questionner sur l'histoire de sa propriété et de Chinon. Nous vous recommandons sans aucune hésitation ce lieu exceptionnel. Un petit bijou au cœur de l'Anjou, où nous reviendrons avec beaucoup de plaisir.
