We only stayed for one night, but would happily have stayed much longer. The cottage is located in the heart of Amboise, but is such a tranquil spot. It is very well equipped and well presented throughout. The garden is lovely and our spaniel spent a lot of time exploring! Absolutely recommend as a place to stay and really good value for money.

Magical even in January

When we drove through the historic gate we entered a medieval paradise, the garden was beautiful even on a rainy day in January! This unit was ideally located within walking distance of the town shops and restaurants. Views from 2nd floor bedrooms were beautiful, just note that stairs would be a challenge if one had mobility Issues. Amboise is a charming welcoming town and manageable size to walk and explore

Delightful!

This property has been lovingly updated. Such a pleasant place to stay. The windows can be opened to let in fresh air. In the evenings we needed to turn on the heating system which worked well. There’s a tiny washing machine and a drying rack. The kitchen, living area, and the ONLY toilet are located downstairs. The two bedrooms, tub and sink, are located upstairs. That was the only drawback, not having the toilet In the bathroom. It’s walking distance to many sightseeing spots, restaurants, and shopping. The garden In the courtyard was well-maintained and peaceful. I highly recommend this property!
