Click to book Courturier’s Castle now: from £437 per night Arrive at this medieval chateau in Charente and feel swept by its Old World charm. With careful consideration for modern conveniences, it has everything a large group of multiple generations needs to enjoy a rejuvenating stay. Let the kids splash in the pool while you wait for a homemade breakfast. This home is set in the middle of a park with a private lake nestled between ancient trees. Spend days outdoors and head into the nearby Poitiers for the pain du jour. If you’re up for traveling a bit further afield, go on a wine tasting in the Loire Valley or take the whole family air-ballooning above the Charente River. Return home to a chef-made meal on the al fresco dining terrace. Rumour has it this house was built in the 19th century for a famous dressmaker. Sleeps up to 12 | 5 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms

Click to book Fine Terroir now: from £606 per night This home is part of a gorgeous 17th-century château that has been brought bang up to date with monochrome, textured furnishings and oh-so-modern open plan bathrooms. Beautiful as they are, though, the biggest draw is the lush wooded estate with a private hot tub right on the lawn. You’ve also got use of the on-site tennis courts if you wish to host your own Roland Garros. What’s more, you’re in the middle of wine country here, with some of France’s finest reds coming from the nearby monastery of Bourgueil – unusual for a region more known for its dry whites. Sleeps up to 8 | 4 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms

Click to book The Priory Tower now: from £113 per night Converted from a fourteenth-century nunnery in a village near the historic town of Poitiers, The Priory Tower is surrounded by valleys, ponds, and woods in all directions. It’s a quiet area, with a peace disturbed only by the occasional church bells, or birdsong. The local markets around here are overflowing with produce (this part of France remains an agricultural centre), and if you want to get away from civilisation, there are all manner of trails, lakes and rivers to explore. As a home, The Priory Tower feels like a part of France that got left in the past, away from the bustle and stress of modern life, and that’s quite a special feeling. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Stone and English Roses now: from £432 per night In a rural village in one of the sunniest regions of France, tucked next to a historic church lies a medieval priory, converted from a Manor house in the fourteenth century to a truly magical home. The interiors are the highest quality and feel both historic and luxurious, while outside picturesque gardens are surrounded by an original stone wall. The pool looks out over unbeatable vistas of the surrounding hills. The host can even arrange al fresco evening meals on the terrace, if that should take your fancy. There's also an abundance of walks on and around the property to uncover, as well as multiple local vineyards, historic villages and countryside visits well within reach. Sleeps up to 16 | 8 Bedrooms | 6 Bathrooms

Click to book Les Lis Oranges now: from £596 per night This Loire manor feels like a slice of Hamptons-style luxury in the middle of the beautiful French countryside. Set on two hectares of private recreational land, this home is perfect for activity-seeking friends and families, with a newly re-done tennis court, pool and games room all available for your own private use. We loved the original stone fireplace - with logs provided for use throughout the year - and the wood burners in multiple rooms, making this as appealing in the winter as it is in summer, when the lavender, roses and lilies are in in full bloom. The nearest village is 4km away, and the closest town - Chinon - is 12km away, so you'll want a car to get to them. Sleeps up to 14 | 7 Bedrooms | 7 Bathrooms
