Discover hotels in Roiffé

For your search for a hotel in Roiffé, the local highlights offer clear guidance: Château de la Roche Marteau, the architecture of the Domaine de Roiffé, and the golfing facilities at Golf de Loudun–Fontevraud. It is helpful to distinguish between them when making your choice: the Château is known for features dating from the late Middle Ages, the Domaine for its tuffeau buildings and woodland, and the golf course for its layout and practice facilities. This can help you decide which theme should be the focus of your trip.

Château de la Roche Marteau

Château de la Roche Marteau stands in Roiffé on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Loudun plain. Its construction is predominantly late medieval in character. The entrance gate lies between two towers and includes a double gate with a drawbridge; numerous loopholes complete the structure. The setting above the plain provides a landscape backdrop for the Château, while the gate and loopholes reveal its architectural details.

On the south wing, a wooden gallery runs along the north façade. Apparently, there is no comparable example in the region’s châteaux. This is a different architectural detail from the entrance gate: here, the focus is on the design of the façade rather than access.

Architecture and woodland at the Domaine de Roiffé

At the Domaine de Roiffé, behind an avenue lined with two-hundred-year-old cedars, stand 19th-century tuffeau buildings in the distinctive architectural style of the Loire Valley. This is a different period from the predominantly late medieval features of Château de la Roche Marteau: the tuffeau stone, construction period and regional style give the buildings distinct profiles. The Haras des Ouches is also located within the Domaine, in a 120-hectare forest. The avenue and forest are two distinct landscape features of the Domaine. You can also distinguish the buildings by their location: the Château stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Loudun plain, while the Domaine’s tuffeau buildings lie behind an avenue lined with two-hundred-year-old cedars.

Golf de Loudun–Fontevraud

Golf de Loudun–Fontevraud is located in the heart of the Domaine de Roiffé. Its 18-hole course covers more than 60 hectares of partially wooded, hilly terrain. If you are considering golf, you can distinguish this landscape from the compact six-hole course, which is also part of the facilities.

The golf facilities also include a putting green, a practice green and 40 teeing positions. For your plans, it is advisable to check the current availability of the facilities.

Saint-Martin Church

Saint-Martin Church in Roiffé is associated with a bell listed as a cultural heritage object. The local heritage therefore includes a religious landmark as well as the Château and Domaine buildings.
