The Château de la Huberdière hosts board meetings, residential seminars, team days and weddings, always with the whole estate booked for one group. Plenaries take up to 100 people in the 200 square meter Orangerie, wedding receptions take 30 to 150 guests, and 10 suites sleep up to 21. The château stands at 10 La Huberdière in Nazelles-Négron, Indre-et-Loire, ten minutes from Amboise.
Seminars and company events
The château is booked for executive committees, master classes, strategy seminars and team days. Up to 20 colleagues stay on site in single or twin occupancy. The work spaces are the Orangerie and four modular salons, each with a video projector, a flipchart, paper and pens; sound, wifi and screens are added as needed. The 14-hectare park serves for outdoor sessions.
The château offers a study day with an equipped room, two coffee breaks and a buffet lunch, a residential half-board package and a full-board package with a served dinner. Activities include Italian cooking classes, workshops led by a starred chef, massages, yoga, pétanque, table tennis, and hot-air balloon flights that take off from the park. No other group shares the estate during a booking.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are held with the château, the park and the pool reserved for the couple alone, for 30 to 150 guests. A secular ceremony can take place under the old trees, drinks on the terrace, dinner in the large vaulted hall and the party indoors or outside. The Orangerie and the salons serve as a fallback in bad weather. Close family sleeps in the château's 21 beds, and the owners help find rooms nearby for other guests.
An optional coordination package covers planning calls, supplier contracts and the logistics of the day. The owners, Lodovica and Patrick, are the single point of contact from the first visit to the day after. Couples may bring their own wines and champagne.
Rooms and capacities
The Orangerie covers 200 square meters and takes plenaries of up to 100. Four modular salons serve as breakout rooms. Weddings use the vaulted hall, the terrace and the park for 30 to 150 guests. The site does not publish capacities for each salon.
Accommodation
The château has 10 suites, all different, each with a private bathroom, some with a canopy bed or an original fireplace. Full hire sleeps up to 21 people. It operates as a three-star hotel with the feel of a guesthouse. Guests use the park and a 16-meter heated swimming lane with a pool house, open April to October.
Catering
Food is Italian home cooking built on vegetables from the kitchen garden and local producers, with organic produce preferred. Events have their own catering offer, separate from the evening table for hotel guests. A professional kitchen is available for an outside caterer, and the owners share a list of caterers, florists and photographers who know the estate. Menus adapt to vegetarian and gluten-free diets.
History and setting
The château was built in the 16th century in tuffeau stone, with wood paneling and marble fireplaces. Lodovica Dal Pozzo d'Annone and Patrick Jourdan restored it between 2021 and 2023 and live there. The park mixes woods, ponds and meadows, between Amboise, Chenonceau and Chambord.
Getting there
The château is about 2 hours 20 minutes from Paris and 30 minutes from Tours. The royal château of Amboise and the Clos Lucé are ten minutes away by road.
