This is the perfect hotel for families. The one-bedroom apartment with pull-out sofa was very spacious. Well-equipped kitchen. Full dining table. Pool is smaller than it looks in the photos, but still good with a nice deck area. Walkable to downtown Ambroise with bakery, cafes, restaurants and shops. Air conditioning was new, strong and very effective.

La Maison Rabelais is in the heart of Amboise – well-located and nearly everything is an easy 5-10 minute walk, though the train station is on the other side of the river by 1.5 mi, necessitating a ride. Very nice breakfast – hearty and copious. While the property does NOT have A/C, the room (big and spacious) stayed cool however the ventilation system was configured. It was a little warm at night but not uncomfortable, especially considering afternoons were near 100 F/38 C. Definitely a nice property.

We enjoyed the one-bedroom apartment for our family of four and found it had plenty of space. The room was simple, clean, and tidy, and the kitchenette—with a refrigerator, sink, and microwave—was very convenient for preparing snacks and light meals. The onsite parking was easy and convenient, and we made good use of the pool every day. The water was a great temperature, and it was a relaxing place to unwind. My only suggestion would be to keep the pool open until sunset. During our stay, it closed relatively early, so we weren’t able to enjoy an evening swim after dinner, which would have been a nice way to end the day. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and appreciated the comfortable accommodations and convenient amenities.
