Airbnbs that Are Straight Out of 'Game of Thrones'

This Norman Castle in County Meath, Ireland goes all the way back to 1420. If GoT was based on a real time period, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say it took place in the 15th century (Wars of the Roses, anyone?). Experience 600-year-old plaster inside the four original vaulted rooms, have a feast in the quaint dining room and retire to the drawing or music room in the evening hours for a carafe of wine (Cersei style, of course).

This artist-designed, four-bedroom home (appropriately called Boulder House) may be located in the Yucca Valley in California, but it looks like it’s straight out of Dorne. Just imagine the Martells roaming through the 15-acre (6ha) property, plotting new ways to get back at the Lannisters.

Located in Ballycastle in Northern Ireland, this farmhouse is perfect for Game of Thrones lovers. The Dark Hedges (the cinematic tunnel of trees made famous by the HBO series) is close by to this idyllic property. Much of the series was filmed in this area, so you can enjoy a bit of sightseeing during your stay.

The Old Tower in Hvar, Croatia eerily resembles the Tower of Joy in Game of Thrones. You know, the birthplace of Jon Snow near the Red Mountains of Dorne? In actuality, this ancient home was built by the Franciscans in 1761 and was meant to just be a windmill. It’s now protected by Hvar Cultural Heritage as a cultural monument, and guests can enjoy modern furnishings, wifi and a private garden.

This eight-bedroom chateau in Fontenay-sur-Mer in Lower Normandy is only 3mi (5km) from the sea and dates back to the 17th century. While France wasn’t a major filming location for Game of Thrones, the elegant estate is too pretty to pass up on our list.

Now it’s time to take a visit to the rich trading city of Qarth. You won’t actually get to meet any Warlocks from the House of the Undying here, but that’s probably a good thing anyway. This beautiful four-bedroom house is located in Asilah, Morocco (where a lot of GoT was filmed), only 7km (4.3mi) from the beaches, and boasts luxurious patios where you can re-read A Song of Ice and Fire.
