The place was as it is in the photos. We loved it and it proved very useful in the 40 degree heat outside. It had everything we needed for the 10 days we stayed. There is a free public car park a couple of minutes away. It is in town so is a perfect location for going out in Amboise but also just outside the main square and nice and quiet. Mireille was the perfect host and there is everything in the place you need. Lots of people like the outside of the place. It is special. We would definitely go back. Thanks Mireille.

À tranquil slice of heaven

Cocooned in the hillside, this little cave was perfectly cosy and beautifully decorated. Close to everything in Amboise, and yet it felt tranquil and secluded, with everything we needed for our four night stay. The terrace and private garden were a joy to relax in, and our host Mireille was brilliant. The highlight of our trip to France

Adorable troglo in Amboise

This little troglo/cave cottage was unique but very comfortable. Just the right size for a couple. Amboise is a wonderful town and a great place to use as a base for the Loire Valley. Merielle, the owner is very nice and helpful.

Quiet and Close in Amboise

Here you are steps away from the action but tucked back in utter silence. The room was comfortable and was well attended to by the host. Two wishes were for a nicer garden patio area and WiFi.

"Our Rave about the Cave"

Our host was gracious, welcoming and SWEET. She has created a warm and very interesting setting. It obviously took an endless amount of time to create this "nest". We had a WONDERFUL time!!

Petite Troglo

Amazing experience living in a cave. It has been decorated artistically with Leonardo De Vinci quotations and his art. The mosaic pieces are colourful and fun. This was all done by the owner who is an artist. It was definitely a labour of love!
Two studios: one up and one down.
Renderings of Leonardo De Vinci art and quotes were painted on tiles the naked in a ceramic over
Mosaic tiles were all hand done

Amazing.

We’ll be telling everyone we stayed in a Castle. Not entirely true but close enough. This small studio style apartment is in a cave at the foot of the Castle. Excellent location. Nice and clean with a nice friendly host Mireille. Maybe a little humid but after all. It’s a cave!

Logement propre, bien équipé et décoré avec goût. Toutefois il était indiqué sur l'annonce qu'il disposait d'une climatisation alors qu'en fait il ne dispose que d'une simple VMC. Une VMC a l'effet inverse dune climatisation par forte chaleur puisqu'il fait rentrer de l'air chaud de l'extérieur en pompant l'air froid de l'intérieur. Toutefois comme il s'agissait d'un logement troglodyte nous n'avons pas souffert de la chaleur.

Idylle mitten in der Stadt

Wirklich charmante Höhle wenige Gehminuten vom zentralen Platz und vom Schloss. Herrlich ruhig, nur tagsüber einige vorbeiziehende Touristengruppen auf dem Weg zum Clos-Lucé. Angenehmes Raumklima, kleiner Garten. Gerne wieder.
