LA CHAMBRISIENNE: Country houses with year-round heated pool.

Located in Sougé, this welcoming vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 11-minute drive to Château de Montoire-sur-le-Loir or the 27-minute drive to Eglise Saint Maurice de Conflans-sur-Anille (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

A dining area and a BBQ grill are featured at this 8-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental. Try your hand at foosball and table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV. 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 travel light because you'll have access to laundry facilities. Other amenities include bed sheets, heating, a dining table, and bicycle parking.

Families will appreciate the children's dinnerware, travel crib, and highchair at this property. There is also a playground to enjoy.
