Click to book Le Keep now: from £1057 per night It doesn’t get more romantic than a stay in the keep of a historic French château, yet we have a feeling you’ll want to share this 16-person home with a crowd. This is an idyllic setting for a family reunion or holiday with friends. Set in the southern Loire Valley, this keep forms part of the Château De St Louis, and shares manicured grounds, vineyards, plus a lake for fishing and birdwatching with the main manor building. Inside, the keep boasts eight elegant bedrooms, each with a four-poster bed and furniture that exudes medieval grandeur. For the ultimate group trip, rent the keep in tandem with the main château to host up to 40 guests. Sleeps up to 16 | 8 Bedrooms | 8 Bathrooms

Click to book Dawn Chorus now: from £1091 per night If it’s romantic, rural vistas you’re after, look no further than Dawn Chorus. This traditional home boasts beautiful views and cosy interiors for an idyllic holiday setting. Whether you’re one to spend your time indoors reading, or out and about exploring all the area has to offer, this home offers plenty for everyone. Lounge by the pool, play games on the lawn, or simply enjoy the impressive interiors of this chateau, Dawn Chorus is sure to give you a relaxing holiday in the French countryside. Sleeps up to 15 | 9 Bedrooms | 11 Bathrooms

Click to book Curious Castle now: from £522 per night This home in Saint-Jean-du-Bois caught our eye after it was recommended by a member of the Plum Guide community. An elegant country chateau, it's perfectly plonked in the heart of the Loire Valley, with Le Mans just a twenty-minute drive away. Here you'll feel like nobility the moment you pull up in the drive. Sat in an eye-wateringly huge 450-acre estate, this place has impressive features by the boatload. Speaking of boats, you can fish or row round the lake, or hop on one of the bikes provided to peruse the countryside, challenge someone to a game of tennis, or dive into the beautiful heated pool. Inside, the home is a super-stylish mix of stripped-back country chic and lux modern design. Each of the nine bedrooms is decorated to a theme, and there are roll-top baths to be found in some of the luxury bathrooms. This is one to savour with family, friends and a few glasses of local wine. Sleeps up to 10 | 5 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Click to book Enchanted Rose now: from £519 per night This 470-year-old manor house wouldn't look out of place in a French fairytale, but you'll only find beauty here. Take in atmospheric period features like original fireplaces and wooden beams, and wander the sprawling gardens – who knows what mystical flowers you'll find? We love the canopy bed in the master bedroom plus the historic furnishings like the grandfather clock in the living space. The library is almost too good to be true, with its floor-to-ceiling shelves housing hundreds of well-loved books – choose one and retreat to the comfort of the sofa to read, perhaps with the fireplace lit for even more atmosphere. The separate guesthouse is perfect for those looking for a bit more privacy, with its own living space and dining area. On sunny days, however, you'll spend most of your time in the garden, cooling off in the pool or sunbathing on the grass. Gather produce from the neighbouring farm (we've heard the fresh eggs are a real treat), and cook in the country-style kitchen, dining outside in the shade of the trees. Venture into nearby Saumur to sample Michelin-starred restaurants and the grand castle, or tour local vineyards sampling as you go – Loire Valley wine is some of the best in France. Spend the evening playing badminton on the lawn – there can be no more fitting way to end a day in the 'garden of France'. Sleeps up to 10 | 5 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Click to book Cocktails & Peacocks now: from £1612 per night If your perfect holiday consists of a mixture of eighteenth-century aesthetics and twenty-first-century luxuries, then a home like Cocktails & Peacocks is the way to go. This big and extravagant mansion is prefect if you're trying to accommodate a large family or a group of friends around an event or simply to explore the joyous sights of the Loire Valley. Winos among you will be glad to hear that some of the finest vineyards in the area are a mere hour's drive from here and we hope you'll go one few tasting trips while you're in the area. When you're not exploring the locale, chill in the private pool or de-stress in the eight-seater jacuzzi. If neither of these two options are hot enough for you, hit the sauna. Every single room is regal and furnished with antiques, which will make every moment spent here special — especially the meals you'll share in the baroque-inspired dining room. On dreamy afternoons, walk around the gardens and make friends with the peacocks, then play a a game of billiards accompanied by the sweet sound of a piano. Sleeps up to 16 | 9 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms
