Gite on the banks of the Loire

You'll find bicycles on site at this family-friendly apartment. Chateaux de la Loire 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 4-minute drive to Château d'Amboise.

After you return to this 538-sq-ft apartment, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the hot tub; you may also like the garden and deck or patio. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and video library.

As you settle into this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a BBQ grill, and local meal delivery service. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with a stovetop, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
