Le Domaine du Cerf - 4* gite, nature & spa

Close to the riverside, this family-friendly cottage brings it all within reach. 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 the 24-minute drive to Château de Chenonceau.

After you return to this 1938-sq-ft cottage, you can unwind by the heated 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 foosball, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

A living room, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning are featured at this 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, bathrobes, and towels. 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 lobster pot. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer.
