Château de Noizay can host study days, residential seminars, business meals and small private events, for up to 50 people in its largest meeting layout. The hotel has two meeting spaces, about 19 bedrooms, a restaurant, a wine cellar and a small spa. It is a five-star hotel in an early 16th-century château at Noizay, in the Indre-et-Loire, about 10 minutes from Amboise and 20 minutes from Tours.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells two packages. The study day includes a welcome coffee, the meeting room for the whole day, a three-course lunch in the restaurant or on the terrace, and breaks served in the room. The residential seminar adds a working afternoon or a team activity, an aperitif in the wine cellar, a three-course dinner, a night in a double room for single use, breakfast and a final morning of work.
Team activities can take place on site: a wine tasting of regional wines in the cellar, a custom treasure hunt or a crime scene game inside the château. The tennis court, the heated outdoor pool in summer, and a wellness area with sauna and hammam are open to groups. In the region, the team can arrange helicopter or hot-air balloon flights over the Loire châteaux, cellar visits with tastings and a visit of the Clos Lucé in Amboise. Business lunches with a tasting in the wine cellar are also offered.
Weddings and receptions
The home page lists weddings among the events the château hosts, alongside seminars and business meals. The official site does not publish a wedding capacity or package, so couples should ask the team directly about numbers, spaces and exclusive use.
Rooms and capacities
The château offers two equipped meeting spaces: the Salon Bleu, a bright room with period decoration, and a troglodyte room cut into the rock, with a more unusual atmosphere. The seminar page gives up to 50 people for a study day, depending on layout, and describes a room for up to 20 people for board meetings, residential seminars or gala dinners. Both spaces can be arranged to suit the group.
Equipment includes a projector, flip chart, whiteboard and Wi-Fi. A microphone and sound system are available on request.
Accommodation
The seminar page lists 19 bedrooms; the home page gives 17. Rooms are spread over two buildings, the château and the Pavillon de l'Horloge, in Classic, Deluxe, Prestige and Family categories. All have air conditioning, a desk, a minibar, a coffee machine and a bathtub. Ground-floor rooms in the pavilion have a small private garden.
Catering
The restaurant serves homemade cooking from fresh, local and seasonal produce, with a list of local and regional wines. It opens for lunch and dinner from Thursday to Monday, and breakfast is served every day. Seminar meals are served in the restaurant or on the terrace.
History and setting
The château was rebuilt between 1514 and 1540 by Georges de Vercle and Andrée, lady of Noizay, on the site of a feudal castle known since the 12th century. In 1560, during the Conspiracy of Amboise, Protestant plotters led by La Renaudie used it as their headquarters; royal troops besieged it and the plot failed. The main building was restored after a fire in the 18th century and became a hotel after work completed in 1989. The 24-hectare park has formal French gardens, woodland and vineyards nearby, with century-old trees.
Getting there
The address is 124 promenade de Waulsort, 37210 Noizay. Amboise is about 10 minutes away and Tours about 20 minutes.
