Our stay in amboise

A very traditional french gite in a super location near clos luce. The garden was delightful . The steps up to the house were fine for us but could be an issue for someone less mobile. The inside of the house was nice but in general needed a little spruce up. Very loud creaky stairs so anyone of the 4 of us going downstairs to the toilet in the night woke everyone else up. We had a problem with ants both upstairs and down. But the house was well equipped and at less than 10 minutes walk to town we enjoyed our visit there.

Wonderful location & beautiful cottage

We loved our stay at the cottage; its location was perfect - just a 5-7 minute walk to the town center. The cottage itself was so much more spacious than we anticipated; it was more luxurious for us than our hotel in Reims! The grounds were so lovely and lush and we enjoyed the privacy and peacefulness of the property. We would not hesitate again to rent this great little cottage in Amboise!

Great location BUT......... House poorly managed. It needs some TLC both inside & outside; several items were broken or dangerous, like the slippery shower & electric kettle without a lid! With Long COVID the 40 steps up from the road & 10 minutes walk to get the car were not fun!

Bien situé à Amboise, à côté du Clos Lucé et à 10 minutes à pieds du centre-ville.

Nous avons passé 3 jours à Amboise, avec comme objectif premier la visite du Clos Lucé. La ville est assez attractive pour ne pas s'ennuyer en 3 jours : très beau et très grand marché le dimanche matin, centre-ville animé, île d'or avec son canoë et la piscine vétuste mais agréable.

A gorgeous home

Perfect location to see 2 castles and the home of Leonardo da Vinci during his last years. We had some trouble finding it but it turned out to be under our noses! Be aware that it is on a hill and there are about 40 steps to climb. Good exercise but could be problem if you have health problems.

Emplacement top mais inadapté enfants bas âge et personne à mobilité reduite

Gîte sympathique très bien situé mais il manque une précision sur l annonce Escalier raide sans rembarde donc pas adapté aux enfants surtout en bas âge et aux personnes à mobilité réduite Cela devrait être précisé (surtout si accident récent)

Super Lage

Das schöne Haus ist sehr ruhig gelegen und dabei sehr zentral. Der Parkplatz ist zwar nicht direkt vor der Haustür. Aber wir fanden es nicht schlimm, ein paar Meter laufen zu müssen. Zum Haus gehört ein relativ großer Garten, teils schattig, teils sonnig. Die Betten sind gut. Die Dachfenster in den Schlafzimmern lassen sich sehr gut verdunkeln. Die Ausstattung ist vollständig, nur sollten einige Töpfe und Pfannen durch neue ersetzt werden (Beschichtung defekt).

Nettes Häuschen, gute Lage

Das Ferienhaus hat eine ideale Lage, in Stadtnähe, aber ruhig. Wir haben abends die Terrasse genossen. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr gut. Es gibt einen Punkt Abzug, da im deutschen Inserat nicht drinsteht, dass für Bettwäsche und Handtücher eine Pauschale anfällt und der öffentliche Parkplatz ca. 200 m entfernt ist. WiFi wäre noch schön. Ansonsten aber zu empfehlen.

Petit coin de paradis

Maison confortable et bien équipée, au calme, à proximité du centre d’Amboise, avec vue sur le Clos Lucé. Accès au gîte via des escaliers dans une rue à sens unique donc petit bémol pour décharger /charger la voiture et monter les vélos et les bagages. Mais quel calme ensuite, on se sent comme chez soi ! Et Ophélie très disponible et agréable ! Je recommande !
