Gîte in the heart of the Loire castles

You'll find bicycles on site at this family-friendly cottage. 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 3-minute drive to Château de Nitray.

After you return to this 1076-sq-ft cottage, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the porch or lanai, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the TV (video library available). There's also a DVD player for your enjoyment.

This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, 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.
