Win a two-night stay for two at Château de La Vallière, in France. The prize includes a two-night stay with breakfast each morning and a 3 course dinner with a glass of wine included.

The theatrical Château Louise de La Vallière propels you back in time to the grandeur and elegance of 17th-century France. Covered in portraits, antique furnishings, tapestries and haute couture fabrics from the finest French houses, this castle-hotel is situated in the UNESCO heritage area of Touraine in the Loire Valley. Run by staff dressed in 17th-century attire, staying here is an immersive experience filled with history, romance, luxury and sophistication.

The spectacular interiors are the creation of internationally renowned master decorator Jacques Garcia whose signature designs are a celebration of royal ‘favourites’ ie mistresses of the kings. Their beautiful period pieces, parquet flooring, wood panelling and marble bathrooms seamlessly marry with 21st-century comfort (king-size beds dressed in Garnier Thiebaut satin cotton linen, air con and Nespresso coffee machines). You’ll find dumb-bells and yoga mats in your guest room; a precursor to perhaps a visit to the château’s La Rosée spa and/or heated outdoor pool. And maybe necessary before or after indulging in L’Amphityon restaurant – named after Molière’s play.

The lucky winner will receive:
Two-night stay
Breakfast each morning
A dinner on one of the nights with a glass of wine
