Secret hotels of the Loire Valley

Recently, while reading the latest news online, I found a travel story about young European couples transforming old châteaux into charming inns. The article is littered with ideas that would be appropriate to our own undertaking--brioche with fresh goat cheese, honey, and walnuts for breakfast? Check! Artisanal jams? Check! Renovated historic building? Toile bedding? Blond-wood floors? Check! Check! Check!  Of course, I'm sure this sort of thing is no surprise given the availability of such châteux scattered across the French countryside. That said, I was no less inspired about their endeavours since this is essentially what we hope to do.
