Located on the eastmost part of the Pays-de-la-Loire region in France, Sarthe is perhaps best known for hosting the 24-hour road race in Le Mans, its capital. However, racing is not the only thing that this area has to offer visitors. It also became popular for being the unofficial medieval capital of Northern France, thanks to its share of castles. Its natural scenery is also something that shouldn’t be sneered at, as it features idyllic countryside views, verdant hills, and emerald forests. Check out this list of lovely Airbnb vacation rentals if you plan on spending a holiday in Sarthe.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 06, 2024.
