You can experience a little taste of the French countryside at this enchanting Airbnb in Ontario. Located in Ramara, just a few hours from Toronto, Luloo Sanctuary boasts old-time European vibes both inside and out.

The limestone building dates back to the 19th century and once served as a church. The home has three bedrooms and sleeps seven guests.

While the home has been updated and has many modern aspects, it still includes some of the original design such as exposed stone walls and stained glass windows. Many of the rooms have a Disney castle vibe due to the charming decor that echoes the past.
