We didn't meet any staff... The Windows move with the wind. Too much noisy.

We very much liked the character of the Property as it was very old the proximity to the village ofAamboise. The room was spacious and clean although the bathroom was incredibly tiny and made manoeuvering around difficult there was also no door on the bathroom sliding door to the bathroom door is recommended. We stayed during September so the weather was quite mild however with no air-conditioning I could only imagine it would be stifling hot and uncomfortable during the summer months.

“Extraordinary stay!”
Extraordinary stay! The building is absolutely astonishing: felt like spending a night in the museum! Though others complained about the check-in, we got the code to get in the second I dialed the number provided on the door. I have no complaints about communication with the host as I am quite introvert myself and it’s enough for me to exchange messages. Overall, we loved the charm of the place!

“Un séjour plein de charme, au pied du château.”
The apartment is located just below the castle, which you can see from the window as if it were within arm’s reach – truly an amazing sight for us. At times, you even get the feeling of living in the castle itself. The apartment is old but full of charm, perfectly complementing the atmosphere of the castle and its surroundings. We also greatly appreciated the host’s quick and efficient help: after another stay was cancelled at the last moment, they arranged everything for us within just a few hours, allowing us to enjoy our trip without stress. You’ll love it here!

“Fine”
It was right on the river and we were upgraded to a larger room looking over the river. The staff had very limited English.

“Poor value for money and will never return.”
The Capitainerie, in Amboise, is a very old building which is full of character, with large rooms, a river view, a central location and plenty of hot water.

“Beautiful quaint house close to all amenities . Loved it”
Great characterful property typically French and comfortable . A fabulous well equipped kitchen dinning room. I would recommend it if you are physically fit as there are a great many stairs to the top floor rooms on an original spiral staircase which is quite steep. The room itself was lovely and overlooked the beautiful chateau . Very short walk to shops bars and restaurants. Great location

“Close to castles, but would not stay again”
The location to the 2 castles and main tourist area is the best part of this property. Room was good size, but I wish we were not on top level.
