La Borde

For those who love authenticity, nature, and sophistication, and are looking for an elegant retreat in the heart of Sologne.

In Vernou-en-Sologne, just twenty minutes from Chambord and Cheverny, La Borde en Sologne Château & Spa offers the experience of true castle living, blending heritage with modernity. Nestled within 40 hectares of lush greenery, this 18th-century estate—designated a Historic Monument—combines old-world charm with contemporary comfort. Behind its wood paneling and frescoes, the property features 35 spacious rooms and suites, a spa nestled in the former orangery, two heated pools, a lush vegetable garden, and even an educational farm.
The Mémoire restaurant, led by an inspired team, celebrates garden-fresh produce and the seasons through a concise, sustainable menu. Here, luxury is found in the simplicity of everyday moments: a stroll through the forest, a tasting of local honey, sunbathing by the pool, or an organic treatment by Tata Harper & Alaena while gazing out at nature.

• The Kids Club, designed as an educational adventure playground that combines a vegetable garden, a farm, and nature workshops.
• The “chic country house” style, where moldings, fireplaces, and French gardens blend seamlessly with a warm, contemporary atmosphere.
• The restaurant Mémoire, where every dish tells a story of local ingredients and the seasons.
• The beauty of the setting: a sprawling park, swimming pools, a tennis court designed by Guy Forget, and forests stretching as far as the eye can see.
