Top 10 Large Group Holiday Homes Near Tours, Loire Valley
Ranking updated on 2026-10-18
The Loire Valley is one of France's most accommodating regions for large groups, and Tours sits at its heart. Whether you're planning a milestone birthday for twenty friends, a multi-family reunion, a countryside wedding weekend, or a company seminar that needs to feel like more than a meeting room, the area delivers. You get a UNESCO-listed river landscape, châteaux within cycling distance, world-class Vouvray and Chinon wines on your doorstep, and a local gîte culture that has been hosting large parties for decades. Properties here tend to be generous in layout — wide terraces, multiple reception rooms, gardens with room to breathe — rather than squeezed luxury apartments.
Our database, updated every night, lists 30 CasaGigas within roughly 1h30 of Tours. Two accept instant online booking. The average capacity across the selection is 16 guests, and the largest house sleeps 29. Properties sit an average of 36 km from Tours city centre — close enough for a day trip to the city, far enough for real countryside quiet. Guests have left 1,444 verified reviews, averaging 4.6 out of 5. Prices start at €23 per person per night, with a portfolio average of €32 — figures that hold up well when split between a group of fifteen or twenty.
Online-bookable CasaGigas appear first in the ranking because instant confirmation genuinely saves groups the back-and-forth of checking host availability; remaining properties are then ordered by rating and number of reviews, and hosts who relay the ranking on their own website hold their position by staying visible to travellers, not by paying a fee.

How to Choose a Group House Near Tours
A headline capacity of 14 guests means 14 people can sleep there — it does not guarantee comfort. Check the bedroom count: a 14-person house with four bedrooms almost always means bunk rooms or fold-out sofas somewhere. For a group that values sleep quality, aim for roughly one bedroom per two adults as a rule of thumb. Read the floor plan carefully, ask for photos of every room, and confirm whether children count toward the stated capacity or are listed separately.
Most Loire Valley gîtes sit in residential villages or on working farms, and nearly all include explicit quiet-hour clauses — typically from 10 pm or 11 pm. Some hosts allow amplified music by prior written agreement and a supplementary deposit; others prohibit it outright. Do not assume that renting an entire house entitles you to unlimited noise. Ask the host directly before you book, get the answer in writing, and budget for any party deposit that may apply.
Private pools are a genuine draw, but they come with obligations. French law requires pool fencing and lockable gates, and most hosts enforce these rules themselves. Confirm whether the pool is heated — an unheated pool in early June or late September is a very different proposition from a heated one. Check the heating dates, whether pool towels are provided, and what the host's contingency plan is if the pool requires maintenance during your stay.
Tours has a TGV station with a direct Paris connection in under an hour, which simplifies arrivals for guests coming from different cities. For properties 40–60 km out, a rental minibus or coordinated carpooling is the practical solution — rural bus services are sparse. On paperwork: expect a deposit of 20–30% at booking and a refundable security deposit of €300–€800 held separately. Cancellation policies vary widely, so read them carefully; a flexible policy costs slightly more but protects large groups when plans shift.
By occasion
Birthday Parties and Milestone Celebrations
For a landmark birthday — a 30th, 50th or 70th — a CasaGiga lets the whole group sleep under one roof. CasaGiga 66 in Cussay is a strong pick: 21 guests across 9 bedrooms, with instant online booking so you can lock in the date without waiting for a host reply. La Belle Aventure in Mosnes (15 guests, pool, a perfect 5-star average across 358 reviews) sets a hard-to-beat atmosphere for a summer celebration. Book six to nine months ahead for peak weekends.
Wedding Weekends and Pre-Wedding Gatherings
The Loire Valley is France's most photographed wedding backdrop outside Paris. A CasaGiga keeps your wedding party together from rehearsal dinner to Sunday brunch. Manoir de La Voûte in Pouillé (15 guests, pool, 4.8 out of 5) brings the manor-house atmosphere that photographs well and keeps the evening intimate. For very large parties of 25 or more, CasaGiga 2591 in Oyré sleeps 29 — the biggest house in the selection — and accepts instant online booking.
Company Seminars and Team Retreats
A countryside seminar works best when the team cannot simply drive home in the evening. Moulin de Chareau in Reugny (14 guests, pool, 4.8 out of 5) is well positioned — 19 km from Tours, close enough for airport transfers, quiet enough for genuine focus. Before booking any house for a professional retreat, confirm the broadband speed directly with the host, check whether a large dining table doubles as a working table, and plan for a caterer rather than relying on a domestic kitchen for twelve.
Multi-Family Reunions and Extended-Family Holidays
When three or four family branches converge, the priority is communal space where no one feels crowded, and enough bedrooms for couples to have privacy. Un Verger en Ville in Saint-Avertin (15 guests, 6 bedrooms, 4.9 out of 5) sits just 6 km from Tours, making it easy for relatives who want to pair the reunion with a city visit. For a smaller extended family after genuine countryside quiet, Gîte Les Prairies in Luzé (12 guests, 4.9 out of 5) is hard to fault.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a house for 20 people near Tours?+
Based on the portfolio average of €32 per person per night, budget roughly €640 per night for 20 guests — or around €460 at the cheapest entry point of €23 per person. Always confirm whether the quoted rate includes cleaning fees, linen hire, and tourist tax, as these are commonly added at checkout and can meaningfully affect the total for a large group.
Can we have a party or play amplified music at night?+
It depends entirely on the property and its neighbours. Many Loire Valley gîtes have quiet-hour clauses from 10 pm or 11 pm; some ban amplified music outright while others allow it with written agreement and a supplementary deposit. Ask the host directly before booking — not on arrival morning — and get the answer in writing. This protects both parties and avoids a difficult conversation mid-stay.
How does CasaGiga decide which houses rank highest?+
Online-bookable properties rank first because instant confirmation is a concrete benefit for groups juggling multiple schedules. Remaining properties are ordered by guest rating weighted by review volume. There is no paid placement — a host holds their position by earning strong reviews and remaining visible to travellers, not by paying an advertising fee.
How do I actually book one of these houses?+
CasaGiga 66 in Cussay and CasaGiga 2591 in Oyré both accept instant online booking directly on CasaGiga — you confirm in real time without waiting for host approval. For the other eight houses, follow the link to the listing to find the host's contact details or their booking page. When enquiring, include your exact dates, headcount, key requirements (pool, accessible room, pets), and budget — this speeds up the response considerably.
Is tourist tax included in the rental price?+
Almost never. Tourist tax (taxe de séjour) is charged per adult per night by the local municipality and added on top of the rental fee. In Indre-et-Loire and neighbouring departments, expect €0.50–€2.00 per adult per night. For 15 adults over four nights that adds €30–€120 to the bill — worth factoring into the group budget from the start rather than discovering it at checkout.
What is the minimum number of nights for a group rental near Tours?+
Most houses require a minimum of two or three nights; Friday-to-Sunday and Saturday-to-Monday weekend packages are the most common format. In high season — July, August, and public-holiday long weekends — many hosts require a full week. If your stay is shorter, prioritise the two online-bookable listings, where minimum-stay rules are displayed upfront before you contact anyone.
What time is check-in and check-out for group gîtes?+
Standard check-in is 4 pm or 5 pm; check-out is between 10 am and noon. For large groups arriving in waves, ask the host whether an early bag-drop is possible — most are flexible if the house is empty the night before. Late check-out on the last day is less common but occasionally negotiable, sometimes for a small additional fee.
What should I do if the house I want is unavailable for my dates?+
The ranking covers 30 CasaGigas within 60 km of Tours, so similar alternatives in capacity and amenities are usually available. For peak dates — August, school holidays, national long weekends — booking six to nine months ahead is realistic for groups of 15 or more. Contacting two or three hosts simultaneously is a sensible strategy when your dates are fixed and you cannot afford to wait for a single reply.
How this ranking is made
Online-bookable CasaGigas rank first because instant confirmation is a measurable, concrete benefit for groups coordinating across multiple schedules and locations. Remaining properties are ordered by average guest rating weighted by review volume, with no paid placement — a host earns and keeps their rank through verified guest satisfaction.
