A beautiful vinotherapy spa has opened in the Loire Valley, a French wine region, at the new Les Sources de Cheverny hotel.
Located at an original 18th-century château, it’s the sister property to Bordeaux-based Les Sources de Caudalie – the birthplace of vinotherapy skincare brand Caudalie and its spa.
Set amongst a 72-hectare vineyard, the flagship was launched by the Cathiard family in 1999 and has inspired the new destination’s design and philosophy. The Cathiard’s daughter and son-in-law, Alice and Jérôme Tourbier, operate both hotels which were brought to life by the same architect, Yves Collet.
The estate’s 800sq m spa, Le Spa des Sources, features seven treatment rooms and adjoins the Château, designed to blend seamlessly with the location. It offers a range of Caudalie’s grape-based treatments, along with an indoor spring water pool, hammam and a hydropool made out of oak wood, reminiscent of a vineyard cask.
Surrounded by dense forests and a lake, the spa has been conceived to bring guests back to nature and offer a barefoot luxury experience. “The whole experience is very unique because of its prime forest location,” says Alice. “When you’re in the indoor pool facing our woods you feel like you’re being enveloped in a cosy cocoon, and the only thing left to do is to let yourself be pampered.”
A highlight of the spa is its hand-painted entrance designed to offer a perfect transition from outdoors to indoors.
The village-style destination includes 49 rooms, 13 of which are in the château, with the remainder spaced out in stone huts designed to look like French farmhouses.
Looking ahead, there are plans to expand the portfolio into every French wine region and create a Vineyards Hotel collection.
