Holiday Rentals in Loire - A Guide to Loire
Holiday rentals in Loire are located in the eastern administrative region of Rhône-Alpes and are surrounded by the departments of Saône-et-Loire, Allier, Puy-de-Dôme, Haute-Loire, Ardèche, Isère and Rhône.
The closest main routes to the area are the A71, A72 and the A6 down from the capital Paris. To reach your Loire holiday rentals by air there are international airports available at Lyon, Grenoble and Saint-Étienne which offer regular flights from the UK.
Properties to rent in Loire are ideally situated in France, located between Paris and the Côte d’Azur and close to the borders of both Italy and Switzerland. The huge motorway network in the region and easy rail connections make the Loire department a good choice to explore France.
With a wide range of landscapes including mountains, lakes, natural parks, vineyards and sweeping valleys, you’re sure to find plenty to keep you occupied in your Loire holiday rentals.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Loire
There is a very even spread of 2-5 bedroom properties to rent in Loire, from charming rural cottages to more substantial and historic Châteaux. Typically a 3 bedroom property offers 3 comfortable and well proportioned bedrooms, large kitchen/dining area with all modern kitchen appliances, family bathroom and spacious open patio area leading onto a large garden.
Swimming pools are not only limited to the larger properties, for example there is a 2 bedroom Gite to rent in Maringes with communal outdoor pool.
One of the most popular places to stay in Loire is the village of Essertines-en-Chatelneuf with a good choice of 1,2,3 and 4 bedroom properties.
In particular I’ve seen a 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom holiday house suitable for 4 to 6 people with a fully equipped kitchen. Located in an aisle of the mill, along a small river. It is only 1.5 Km from local shops and 7 Km from main town centre. Ideal for a relaxing retreat from long days out exploring what France has to offer.
