CasaGiga 827 (Rigny-Ussé)

Nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley, in Rigny-Ussé — the village said to have inspired the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty — this authentic Ligerian cottage welcomes up to 14 guests for an unforgettable stay in the French countryside. Seven individually decorated bedrooms provide a comfortable retreat, making this property ideal for family reunions, friend getaways, or small group celebrations. The surrounding landscape of vineyards and sunflower fields shifts beautifully with the seasons, best admired from the sunny terrace while the swimming pool sparkles nearby. Inside, a cosy living room with a fireplace sets the scene for convivial evenings, while the fully equipped kitchen — including a dishwasher — takes the effort out of catering for a large group. The outdoor barbecue extends dining into the open air, and a selection of games keeps younger guests entertained. WiFi is available throughout. The region has much to offer beyond the property: explore local markets brimming with farmhouse produce, discover the celebrated Chinon wines and local goat's cheeses, and visit the magnificent Loire châteaux. Close to Tours, the area strikes a perfect balance between rural tranquillity and cultural richness. A characterful property delivering warmth, space, and all the comfort a group of 14 could need.
