My husband and I stayed in the apt for 3 nights in August. Although it was during the heatwave, we were able to stay relatively cool with the help of fan. I don't think that this would be an issue at other times of the year. The apartment is clean, well-equipped, quiet and is in a great location right beside the castle. Free parking is available on the street if you can find a spot but we used the town parking which was a short walk. Not much of an issue for us. Very convenient to the restaurants and shopping. We attended the market in town where you can buy anything from roast chicken to furniture. Would highly recommend the apt.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable stay in this apartment, which is especially suitable for couples. The apartment is on a quiet street with ample and safe street parking. It is within minutes of walk of rue Nationale and rue Victor Hugo as well as a Carrefour market. Claire was waiting for us at the scheduled check-in time, and she made for us dinner reservations at Michelin starred restaurants both of which are just a few miles away. We’d stay there again if we return to Loire Valley in the future.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

Our week long stay at Villaconcorde in Amboise was wonderful. The Apartment is perfectly positioned in Amboise, immediately adjacent to the Chateau and within easy access to many other marvellous Chateaus and Castles of The Loire Valley. The Town Centre and things like the supermarket are just a few minutes walk away - perfect. The railway station is also in walking distance (20 minutes). The apartment is comfortable and comes with everything neccessary for an excellent holiday in this great part of the World. Our hosts were fabulous, the meet and greet was perfect and there was a really nice breakfast left for us on the first day (it lasted several days!!). Karine and Thierry can also offer excellent tours in the area. They also rent cars and provide all of the services that you would expect from a travel agent. We fully recommend Villaconcorde and Karine and Thierry to any one who reads this.

We stayed at VillaConcorde over Easter 2012 and had the most fabulous time. Karine organised every aspect of our stay from restaurant bookings to car hire which made our stay very relaxing and ensured we got the most from our time there. The apartment was lovely, and the location perfect for exploring Amboise and surrounds. We will definitely be back!

Dear Karine and Thierry- Thank you so very much for making our one week stay in the Loire Valley a memorable journey. Your apartments are not only comfortable, they are clean and spacious and totally updated. The little extras(food and drink) were appreciated. The location made it easy to travel in all directions without spending the whole day getting to places.The town of Amboise is both enjoyable and an easy walk from the apartment.We highly recommend Villaconcorde to other travellers.---Jeanne and Greg from Buffalo, New YorkRecommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Hello Thierry and Karine I just wanted to write to you and tell you how much we enjoyed our one week stay at VillaConcorde. We could tell that you took great pride in the apartment. Everything there was so thoughtful to the needs of your guests. We particularly enjoyed the "camp" chairs and cooler. Every day we would grab them, fill the cooler full of all that great French Cheese, wine a baguette. and head down to the river to relax. Also the bike tours you mapped out for us were wonderful! The market on Sunday was unbelievable! We had never seen such a market before and came home with our arms full of good treats. We had such a great stay in Amboise. We are looking forward to returning! Thanks again! Nadine and CharlieRecommended for: Tourists without a car, pet owners, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers, people with disabilities.

We spent a delightful week at the Villa Concorde in Amboise. The location was perfect--just at the foot of the Château d'Amboise and a short walk from the center of town, but on a small, quiet street. We loved walking to the château, market, and cafés and restaurants, and exploring the town and the beautiful river. The apartment was very comfortable, cool (even on very hot days), and nicely furnished. The microwave was inscrutable and I'll never understand French washing machines, but Karine and Thierry left a notebook of instructions for all the appliances so we were able to figure things out. Having the kitchen allowed us to make coffee at home and we even prepared the occasional meal. We enjoyed the bottle of local sparking wine that Karine and Thierry provided, and having breakfast supplies for the first day was great. We were visiting the Loire in order to develop our francetravelplanner website, and Amboise proved to be a great central location for visiting many châteaux and other sites in the area. We were able to make easy day trips from Amboise to about a dozen châteaux, which was great. But we always looked forward to coming home to our apartment and our "neighborhood château" and the assortment of restaurants in town. We ate at many of the restaurants Thierry and Karine recommended and enjoyed them. They also provided various brochures and information about the things to see and do in the area, and these were also very helpful.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We were very impressed with our accommodation in Villa Concorde this past June. The one bedroom was perfect for the two of us & the unit was exactly as advertised - which is not always the case. The unit was well-equipped & very well located. We enjoyed the few minutes walk to restaurants & castle. It is very well located for exploring the Loire Valley - which we did. We would definitely recommend Villa Concorde to our friends & family. We rented a car from the TGV station (St. Pierre-des-Corps) which worked well to visit nearby tourist sites. Had no problem parking close to the condo.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, sightseeing.

We really enjoyed our stay at the villa Concorde in August 2010. The location is ideal for touring the val de Loire, our hosts were very accomodating and helpful, and the welcome sparkling wine was thoroughly enjoyed. The flat is clean, well-equipped and comfortable accomodation, with an excellent view of the chateau. We will highly recommend this rental to friends and family.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers, people with disabilities.

We were very fortunate to be able to stay a week in Amboise in a beautiful apartment called Villa Concorde. The 17th Century building, on a quiet street at the foot of the Chateau Royal Amboise, has been recently renovated by a young couple into apartments of one, two and three bedrooms. We were able to view each size. Our intended apartment in another town was inadequate, so we had to find an alternative on very short notice. The owners by chance were finishing the renovation of one apartment, but they were very accommodating in working around so we could stay there. The apartments were tastefully furnished with the most modern appliances and very comfortable furniture. The owners are travel agents, so they know and cater to the discriminating traveler. Amboise is an ideal base location for the exploration of the beautiful Loire Valley. We highly recommend the Villa Concorde.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2002
About the owner: Karine and Thierry are originated from Amboise but spent a few years in London before returning to their home place. They wanted to share their passion for the Loire Valley, and in 2002, they seized the opportunity to buy a 17th century townhouse in the most renowned street of Amboise, rue de la Concorde, directly facing the Royal Castle. Karine is an interior designer and carefully renovated the Villa mixing tradition, charm and authenticity, without any compromise on comfort and equipment. Thierry is the owner and manager of a Travel Agency, specialized in organizing “a la carte” tours in the Loire Valley.
Why the Owner Chose Amboise:
Villaconcorde is located in Rue de la Concorde, renowned as the most beautiful street in Amboise. Originally build in the 17th century, the Villa is part of the town heritage and used ot be the Notary's house at the beginning of the century.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
'Wow ... I didn't realize Villaconcorde was so close to the castle !' is the usual comment of our guests when they arrive. It's in fact difficult to put it in words but you are virtually at the very door of the Royal Castle, which used to be connected with the house by underground passage 350 years ago...Not just 'a view on the castle' but the feeling that you belong to its history.
Because of its prime location, VillaConcorde will allow you to just walk to some of the main attractions such as the Château Amboise (of course !) but also Clos Lucé, the last residence of Leonardo da Vinci, and many other places... You will also appreciate the walking distance to the pedestrian streets, excellent restaurants, numerous cafés, boutiques and the local products market.
