The stay was incredible. Franck and his rental exceeded our expectations at every level. Spotlessly clean. He had excellent recommendations for dinner and even made the reservations for us. The restaurant a few hundred yards below his property on the same street is incredible. We had 2 of our 3 evening meals there. Chef owned and operated and limited to about 14 guests a night in one seating. Hope to return some day. Thank you again Franck.

A special place in a magical setting

This property has it all- a unique and comfortable setting with a great view of the Amboise castle; a perfect location in town to walk to nearby sites and a fantastic host. Our kids loved staying in the “cave” floor! Franck is an excellent host. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay here if it is available.

Incredible!

I stayed at Franck's property with my girlfriend and her parents. We had an absolutely amazing time, the location is unbeatable, a short walk to everything Amboise has to offer. The view is perfect, and the beds were comfortable. Franck was great and made us feel very welcome, we will absolutely be returning! :)

Perfect family base for exploring châteaux

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is perfectly positioned for views of the Royal Chateau and surrounds. Amazing - especially at night with the lights! It’s a short stroll to the shops, river and restaurants. The house was comfortably warm, well equipped and original in design. We were very warmly welcomed by Franck and appreciative of his guidance about how to make the most of our time. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and recommend this property.

Franck is an exceptional host. He met us on the first day to help acclimate us to beautiful Amboise with a warm welcome, a nice bottle of Loire sparkling wine and sweets, and great recommendations for what to do in this lovely part of France. The property is delightful - imagine going to sleep with a view of the lit up Chateau Amboise filling the wall of windows facing the city and then waking to the sunrise over the same chateau. So lovely. The kitchen was well appointed and a perfect place to hang out and cook or eat delicious pastries and cheese from the Sunday market. The terrace was a lovely place to have a nice Loire wine or beer each night. Just down at the bottom of the hill are a couple of deicious restaurants as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend Franck and this historic gite.

We love the location, the layout of the house in such a beautiful setting. Amboise is beautiful city

Location, location, location. We have friends that live in Amboise, they were steps away from us. So many restaurants to choose from and so many beautiful walks. The troglodyte was an interesting concept for a rental property. It certainly intrigued my friends and I. One thing that would have been helpful was a booklet that explained all of the amenities for the house.

My husband and I visited Amboise with our two teenage daughters, and from the moment of our arrival, Franc was the most amazing host. The space was perfect for our family of four including two teenage daughters, who enjoyed the cave bedroom! The view and the gardens were our favorite part - and we were delighted with two bottles of wine that Franc left us from local wineries! I would absolutely recommend his home for your stay in Amboise!

We couldn’t ask for a better home away from home in Amboise. Frank was a fantastic host - he met us in front of the property when we arrived and provided perfect suggestions for our stay including great restaurants and sites to visit. The air conditioning was much appreciated given the heat outside! We would definitely return as it’s a great central place to explore the Loire Valley!

A wonderful space with a fantastic view!

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay in Franck's gite. It is multi-leveled. The bottom level is a cave, where there is a beautiful cave bathroom and a (literally) cool bedroom with two twin beds. There is spiral staircase up to the next level, which opens up to a large living space that has a dining table, a full kitchen and a full wall of glass windows with an amazing view of the Chateau d'Amboise. There are sliding doors in the glass windows that open up to a terrace, so you can sit in the great room and have it completely opened up to the outside. There is also a half-bath on this level and there is a fold-out couch so you could have people sleep here too. Then there is another spiral staircase up to a loft that has a queen-sized bed. From the loft you continue to have the view of the castle. During our stay here they were doing light shows on the castle and we had a great view from here. This is a very convenient place to stay in Amboise. It is just a short walk into the center of town, you have your own parking space and Franck is an extremely helpful and kind host. It's a great choice for a family!

Wonderfull view and nice hosts

We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment in Amboise. It's a nice town with historical atmosphere and the apartment has an amazing view. The nearby medieval towns and castles are great. We can recommend the local bakery l'Horloge and there is a supermarket within 5 minutes walking. Franck and his wife are wonderful hosts, who make you feel very welcome, give a lot of information and Franck speaks english very well. The apartment consists of three levels; the basement is traditionally build like a cave, so it's more cold and moist. We mostly stayed in the upper levels, which have the wonderful view. We notified Franck that we have a baby and they provided everything we needed, which is very nice. The couch is not that comfortable, but the apartment is very well equipped overall. Try the eggs from the chickens in the yard, they are very tasty.

Hello, Thanks a lot for your review. You have reason, it's a little bit colder down because it's wren, but, for the next tourists, they have to know it was possible to switch the heater on. In summer, it's more pleasant, but you were unlucky with a lot of rainy days :-( Next time you'll come, i promise you, the sun will be here every days ;-) !!! Kind regards. Laurence & Franck
