Close to a golf course, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 11-minute drive to George Sand's House or the 18-minute drive to Sarzay Castle (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and an ice maker. And you can even travel light because you'll have access to laundry facilities. Other amenities include an ironing board, heating, and a dining table.
