A tourism property for sale in Maine-et-Loire belongs to the Anjou of heritage and wine tourism, in the heart of the Loire Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors combine the châteaux of Angers, Saumur and Brissac, the royal abbey of Fontevraud, Cadre noir riding displays and the cave dwellings of the Saumur area; families stop at the Doué-la-Fontaine Bioparc or the Terra Botanica park in Angers, and the Cholet area benefits from the nearby Puy du Fou. The Loire à Vélo cycle route and cellar tastings in the Layon, Aubance and Saumur vineyards extend the season from spring to harvest, while Angers brings steady business travel.
The properties here reflect that mix: tufa and slate houses with holiday lets, manors turned into guest estates, wine estates open to visitors, town and riverside hotels, village inns, farm inns and hillside cave dwellings converted into unusual accommodation. This page is written for investors, buyers taking over a running business and owners planning to sell.

The price observatory has no tourist-inland category for Maine-et-Loire: a country house sold for a median €195,000 in 2025, slightly more in rural areas under the influence of Angers or Saumur. A tourism property compares far more closely with large period homes, which reached a median €634,100 over 2021-2025 (indicative), since it combines a main house, converted outbuildings, grounds and sometimes a few rows of vines. The mix by type confirms it: gîte complexes and manor houses dominate, while hotels and inns change hands more quietly, on the basis of their accounts.
Hotels in Anjou follow three patterns. In Angers, city-centre hotels rely on business travel and conferences, busiest on weekdays. In Saumur and along the Loire from Montsoreau to Gennes-Val-de-Loire (Chênehutte, Gennes), boutique hotels and hotel-restaurants serve leisure guests drawn by châteaux, cellars and cycling. In the vineyards and the market towns of the Baugeois, Segréen or Mauges, village inns keep a local clientele. A farm inn (ferme-auberge) serves produce from its own farm. Before buying, identify what is sold: the building, the business with a lease, or both; the business is valued on operating profit (EBITDA). Browse hotels for sale in France and inns for sale.
Houses with several furnished lets have their own page: gîtes for sale in Maine-et-Loire. Guest houses are listed under B&Bs in Anjou.
Tufa caves, riverside cabins and woodland lodges feed the glamping market: see glamping sites for sale. Riverside campsites, leisure parks and holiday villages appear among campsites for sale in Pays de la Loire. For a wine estate open to visitors, read our guide to agritourism and wine tourism (in French).
Châteaux, courtyard manors and Layon estates host weddings and seminars: see event venues in Maine-et-Loire.
A hotel or inn sale combines the building, sold before a notary, and the business, with its own transfer formalities. Ask for the latest fire safety commission opinion for the public-access building (ERP); star ratings from 1 to 5 last 5 years; serving alcohol requires a licence and an operating permit, whose transfer the town hall confirms. Furnished lets fall under the loi Le Meur of 19 November 2024. Converting a barn or wine store needs planning consent for a change of use, and works near listed monuments require the heritage architect's opinion. Read the risk report: Loire floods behind the levees, underground cavities and old tufa quarries, clay soils; receiving guests in a cave calls for a stability survey. Off mains drainage, ask for the SPANC report.
Saumur and the Loire between Montsoreau and Gennes draw the most international leisure guests. Angers offers steadier business trade. The Mauges benefit from Puy du Fou visitors, while the Baugeois and Segréen offer lower entry prices.
It depends on spring and autumn occupancy, average rates, staff and upkeep, especially slate roofs and tufa walls. Ask for three years of accounts and test your figures with our holiday rental simulator (in French).
Add the building, valued against large period homes, the business, based on operating profit, purchase costs and a reserve for compliance works.
