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.

Can’t fault it for position and interesting character

Very close to chateau and an historic building in its own right. Very quiet and unusual. Bathroom and bedroom vey modern.

A magical stay in a magical town

The room is magical - in what would have been the kitchen of medieval home. I loved it. Great shower, great location

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

A quick stop en route to the south west.

Rustic charm, beautiful building in the centre of an amazing small town beneath the towering walls of the city’s chateau.

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.
