L'escale, Loire and Châteaux

Close to ecotours, rock climbing, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Clos du Tue Bœuf Winery is an easy 11-minute 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 31-minute drive to Chateaux de la Loire.

After you return to this 538-sq-ft vacation home, 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 free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and stereo.

This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rental features a dining area, a BBQ grill, air conditioning, 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 an ice maker. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
