Large family farmhouse

Close to winery tours, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Loire Valley is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 12-minute drive to Chateau de Blois. After you return, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the WiFi, TV, and DVD player. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer. Other amenities include bed sheets, an ironing board, and limited housekeeping.
