A lovely characterful older accommodation close to all amenities in the town. We enjoyed having meals on the outdoor patio and hostess very helpful. Spiral staircases might be an issue for people with restricted mobility. Had all facilities for cooking. Would certainly recommend this property.

The home was wonderful. Everything you need is there. Our stay was comfortable and peaceful. The host was excellent and she went above and beyond to help us find a lost teddy bear. A short walk over the bridge with Chateau Amboise in view and you’re in town in 5 mins. We loved our stay. Thank you!

Host made sure we were personally welcomed even when arriving very late past midnight. Wonderful home, perfect for a large family. Fantastic location. Beds and pillows were a little stiff for our liking however.

Retreat in Amboise

We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful furnished three floored house with terrace. It has a wooden spiral staircase with original features. Good facilities and large bathrooms and rooms. It was comfortable. We enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace. Would like to come again. Christele was excellent at communicating.We were close to the Loire viewpoint of the Royal Chateau de Amboise.

Absolutely lovely house in stunning setting

This was a marvellous place to stay. 16th century features including a winding wooden staircase. Generous big rooms. Good little kitchen, open plan with a lovely living area. A nice shady terrace. Pretty streets around, and very close is the classic view across the Loire of the chateau. 5 minutes walk takes you into the town centre, via a beautiful bridge crossing. It was easy to reach the great sights of the Loire from here: Chenonceux 25 mins, Chambord 55; and there were hosts of other lovely places. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you very much to the delightful hosts!

Great location, well-equipped and comfortable

Apartment is on three levels - first floor is up one spiral staircase from the street entrance, two bedrooms are up one floor and the third bedroom was on the top floor. The apartment was beautifully restored, plenty of space, well-equipped, outdoor seating area was delightful, bathrooms were huge, parking was nearby and easy to access. The walk to Amboise center was short and fun. I wasn't sure about staying on the island but it was a great location, and much easier to get to by car than in town. There's a cute restaurant around the corner from the apartment for drinks and dinner watching the river, town and chateau. The host was prompt and clear in her communication. Would completely recommend this for a visit to Amboise.

Lovely old property easy parking and close to centre. Just need to inform guests that very difficult steps, one set of spiral stairs to get to main living area, then spiral stairs to 1st floor then more to 2nd floor. Great communication from host.

Wir habe das Ferienhaus genutzt, um die Schlösser im Umkreis zu besuchen. Das Haus hat einen tollen Mittelalterflair. Das Haus wurde viel Liebe zum Detail saniert. Die Lage ist absolut außergewöhnlich. Am Abend kann man bei der Kneipe um die Ecke die abendliche Lichtershow vom Schloss betrachten. Es war sehr schön. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Séjour parfait

Notre week-end s'est très bien passé dans le logement de Fabien. Gîte très propre et très bien équipé, nous avons juste eu à poser nos valises pour profiter de notre week-end. Gîte très bien situé pour rayonner à pied sur Amboise. Quartier très calme. Gîte conforme à l'annonce. Je recommande sans hésitation.

Fabulous stay in Amboise

We loved our time at this gite in Amboise. It was comfortable and in a quiet but central location. We appreciated being in a peaceful neighbourhood away from the tourist crowds but had only to walk across the bridge to be in the centre of Amboise. We found the apartment comfortable and well appointed. Having both a washer and dryer was a bonus. Communication with the owners was excellent and timely. We appreciated their recommendations about local sights and restaurants. The outdoor area was great, however, we were only able to enjoy it on the first night due to the weather. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

Maison très agréable et bien située

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison spacieuse offrant toutes les commodités. Nous avons été bien reçu, la communication a été excellente et les lieux étaient d'une grande propreté à notre arrivée. La maison est située à deux pas du pont sur l'ile d'Or face au château d'Amboise, nous avons pratiquement tout fait à pied pendant notre séjour. Je la recommande vivement !
