coral miles

I am a Franco-British lansdcape architect living in the Loire Valley. I grew up in London and Paris but chose to settle here in this UNESCO protected region as it is the most beautiful place on earth! It is called the ‘Valley of the Kings’ and ‘The garden of France’. I love organic gardens, biodiversity, history, art and collecting antiques. We have been restoring and creating our gardens from scratch for the past 17 years. It is a labour of love. We are proud now to have won many awards for biodiversity. Our house is full of lovely objects. We are located in the heart of the Loire Valley, on the cycle route, and are very close to the Renaissance Chateaux of Azay le Rideau, Langeais, Villandry, the medieval fortress of Chinon, the vineyards of Saumur, Bourgeuil, St Nicolas de Bourgeuil, Saumur etc. I will advise you on the best places to visit, the history of the local area, and the hidden treasures and secret gardens and beauty spots to discover. Come and immerse yourself in a stunning green paradise, enjoy our peaceful way of life for a weekend, a week or more! FYI we have 3 adorable dachshunds and two cats so unfortunately we do not accept pets in our hotel.
