“Fabulous”
Lovely property. We stayed in the studio, which is small but has been designed very well to maximise space. It was clean & comfortable. The hosts had left a couple of gifts for us too which was a lovely touch. The location is great and the secure parking a bonus.

“Lovely top floor apartment.”
This accommodation was well located. A lovely view from our window of the chateau. The house has a rich history, lots of character but modern conveniences. The bed was comfortable, the shower hot. The host sent a video explaining entry and parking procedures making arrival relaxed. The 36 steps up a spiral staircase added to the character of the accommodation but I suspect would not suit those in poor health as it's a long carry up the stairs with bags. Loved the Philosophers House and loved Amboise.

“Wonderful place to stay again & again in Amboise”
Everything. This is our third stay. It's like having a second home that we visit each July. The apartment is very modern & well-equipped. The bathroom has a large shower and is quite spacious. The bedroom has plenty of storage and the bed is very comfortable. A 3 minute walk into the centre of Amboise, its chateau & its many restaurants.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our apartment on the ground floor had a modern feel and was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and Chateau Amboise. Easy free parking across the street. Communication with the host was excellent and we enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine in the backyard. Would stay here again
