Lovely gite: full of character and beautifully situated.
Super! We had everything we needed and stayed cool, downstairs in particular, in the very hot weather. The terrace was lovely for morning coffee especially as the view was stunning. Our hosts were most helpful, especially in their recommendations.

Lovely gite in a great location!
We had a great stay here in Amboise! The gite is cute and clean and the beds were super comfortable.The location is fabulous, right across from the De Vinci museum and a quick 5 minutes walk right into town. The owners are really nice people, left us a bottle of lovely white wine, which we enjoyed on the little upstairs deck overlooking the castle! While we were there it suddenly got really hot and the owners immediately dropped off a cooling unit. Very professional, kind and responsive. We would love to come again and highly recommend!

Charming and Historic Gite!
We loved this comfy and well supplied 2 story house! The furnishings were especially nice to come home to and relax either on the large couch in the living room or on the patio overlooking the village, Chateau Amboise and Clos Luce. The kitchen was well supplied and had a dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine as well as a few food staples. An easy stroll down the street brings you to the shops, restaurants and the Loire. From the warm welcome of the owners, Annie Mary and Jean Noel, to the lovely flowers on the beautiful dining table we couldn’t have been more satisfied with our week in Amboise.

FANTASTIC Home in Amboise
We were in France for 2 weeks and stayed in 3 different flats. This was by far the best flat of our entire stay. The location is excellent! On a quiet street, but a very short walk into town. We stayed for 3 nights, and had wished we were staying longer. The home is super clean! The décor is beautiful, and it has everything you would need while there. It truly felt like a home away from home. The owners were terrific! They don't speak a lot of English, but we were able to communicate. Amboise is a lovely town, and a great home base for exploring the Loire Valley. We will definitely stay here again if we return, and recommend this flat for anyone staying in Amboise. We can't say enough good things about this flat. It was AWESOME!!

Perfect location in Amboise
My wife and I just left this beautiful property overlooking Clos Luce. It was one of the few properties that have a balcony, which was great to have a glass of wine and enjoy the view of Château Amboise and Clos Luce. Cute town with shops and restaurants a short walk from the property. The owners were accessible and left a bottle of sparkling brut from the area! Loved it!

Excellent location for touring the Loire Valley
This apartment is called the Balcony of Leonard for a very good reason. The well situated terrace overlooks the last residence of Leonardo DaVinci. We parked our car by this terrace every day. We then entered a lovely upstairs space that included a bedroom, bath and living area with couch. A set of stairs led down to a spacious area that included a well equipped kitchen and living area with couch, large table and fireplace. We considered both the exterior terrace, with a spectacular view of Amboise, and the interior space to be excellent. It was also very convenient to the town. In the morning, we would walk to the bakery for coffee and croissants (among other treats) and in the evening we would stroll to one of the restaurants in the town. Overall a very nice experience.

Wonderful home in the heart of Amboise
We stayed here with our 2 daughters, 5 and 7, and we loved it so much. The location couldn't be better - it is across the street from Le Clos Luce and just a couple blocks down the main road into town for restaurants, shops and the Chateau. We felt completely at home, beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, and we loved sitting up on the balcony at sunset watching the hot air balloons over Amboise at sunset. Jean and Annie were wonderful hosts and even left us a bottle of Champagne for our arrival which was welcomed after a long day of travel! We highly recommend this as a perfect home base for exploring Amboise and the Loire valley.

An excellent location to enjoy Amboise and the Loire.
We located"Balcon Leonard" very easily and found a most convenient park for our camper-van in Impasse Moulin. Anne-Marie and Jean Paul were there to welcome us and show us around.
The accommodation is lovely, well equipped and very comfortable. By using the entrance via the balcony we had complete privacy. The layout was perfect for us, the steep open stairs down to the living area causing no problem. People with mobility issues or with young children may find this quite difficult.
The location of the Gite gives easy access to the town's pedestrian area, cafes and shops.
The large Sunday market along the river is a great place to find local delicacies. The two main attractions of the Chateau and The Clos are virtually on the door step.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, particularly the balcony that gave wonderful views over the surrounding area and a great place for meals, drinks and enjoying the sun going down with hot-air balloons floating overhead.

Views over Clos Luce and the rooftops of Amboise.
We stayed at Balcon de Leonard for 8 enjoyable nights. The house is comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. Everything worked well except the washing machine -- we found a laverie next to the L. Leclerc nearby. The house is well located to visit the area’s chateaus and witness the change from medieval (Donjon de Montbazon) to the Renaissance (Chambord). There is parking in front of the house that will test your skill in driving in reverse. Annie Mary and Jean Noel were gracious hosts.

Great location
This home had a fantastic location just steps from Clos Luce (da Vinci's last residence) and a few blocks from the heart of Amboise. It was an easy walk to Amboise Chateau and many restaurants and shopping. There was also a lovely market on Sunday morning down by the river. I would definitely stay here again if I was in Amboise.
It was a little tricky to navigate the streets first time we arrived, there is actually parking on the dead end street behind the house.

Annie and Jean Noel's villa is a little piece of heaven right next to Le Clos du Luce! Walking distance to the heart of Amboise. Easy navigation to the best chateaux! They provided us with a wealth of information about the area and the villa was equipped with all imaginable essentials!

Couldn't think of a better Amboise rental!
The property is a cute house, very close (a short walk) to all historic locations in Amboise. In fact, the next house over was the Clos Luce, Leonardo's residence. The owners were super hospitable and generous, as we had a later than expected arrival.
We were 2 adults and 3 kids, and it was the perfect size for us.
If we came to Amboise again, the only thing I would change is...I would stay here a bit longer. Amboise is a great town, and this rental was superb!

Poorly kept, dripping water from ceiling, owner unavailable
The villa is much smaller than what the pictures lead you to believe. There was water dripping through the ceiling on to the base of the stairway from the bathroom, creating a hazard. We let the owner know and she said she was out of town and could do nothing with it so we had to have a pan catching water for our stay. The amenities were few and the furnishings were quite worn and uncomfortable. The directions to the villa were horrible. We were given no address even after asking for it, and had to stop at the local tourist information center to obtain directions. I do love Amboise as a starting point to explore the Loire Valley, however, and the location of the villa is good.

Perfect Bastille day
What a wonderful base for the Loire Valley and a perfect place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the Bastille day fireworks from our terrace.
The kitchen was the best we encountered in our time in France. The washing machine was very welcome. Parking was not at all difficult. Wonderful view of Amboise castle and Leonardo da Vinci's last home. We loved the parade celebrating Leonardo's arrival in Amboise that went past on July 15. Loved your place

Lovely gîte!
This was a lovely place, exactly as pictured. We only used the kitchen for breakfasts, but it is well stocked with coffee, tea, sugar, cooking oil and spices. If we had been able to stay more than two nights we would have cooked more. Bathroom was large, good shower, had a hair dryer available. Washer was nice to have too.
Amazing view of the area and Clos Luce. We were able to walk to everything: the chateau, restaurants, market and bread store, even to the main town across the bridge.
Our hosts were very gracious and their English was better than our French. We did have trouble finding the place since our gps directions wanted us to make turns onto one way streets. My advice would be to follow signs to Clos Luce. We called our hosts and they actually came down to the street and helped us find the place.
Would love to return to Amboise someday and stay here another time!

Super lovely and cozy house neighboring Leonardo Da Vinci's home
Our visit was just too short, but this lovely gite has everything you need even for a longer stay — especially a beautiful, modern kitchen. The beds are comfortable, the shower is large and hot, and there is enough room to spread out. We had a wonderful time in Amboise and loved being Leonardo's neighbors for a few days! The owners are very nice and met us on both ends of our trip to drop off and pick up keys.

The Highlight of our 3 weeks in France!
For a "Hub & Spoke" approach to visiting this delightful area and the chateaus of the Loire Valley, this two-level apartment was a HUGE find!! At the top of the hill that climbs above Amboise, it was convenient, perfect as a home base and super comfortable! While still providing a sense of the antiquity of the region, this beautiful little place had many contemporary features, including a slick, modern kitchen with a window that looked out on DaVinci's old digs. It boasted two entries, the lower staircase stepping down to a courtyard shared by troglodyte dwellers and out the back gate to town; the upper entrance (street side where we parked our Fiat) was preceded by a terrace that overlooked all of Amboise. Perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine. The owners, Annie Mary & Jean have put their heart & soul in to this treasure...they are charming, attentive and helpful. Highly recommended!!

Comfortable and Cozy
Hello Annie,
Amboise and the Loire Valley were wonderful. Staying in your great cottage made it all very close. We enjoyed the care you took in making the cottage comfortable and convenient. The open area on the main floor was very relaxing and the kitchen was wonderful. We felt at ease in the beautiful and friendly neighborhood. Restaurants were close by, and the view from the patio was magnificent. Thank you so much.

Best location in Amboise
What a great place. Amboise is the perfect town from which to explore the Loire valley. This gite is 100 meters away from Clos Luce (the museum where DaVinci lived) and minutes a way from the chateau and restaurants. Only 12 km to Cheninceau and Le Bon Laboureur restaurant. You just can't go wrong. The owners are wonderful and have done a beautiful job of restoration. A very good value as well.

A beautiful hillside home in the heart of town.
We had a wonderful stay in this place. It was just a few houses down from the Chateau du Clos Luce and a 10 minute walk into town. The house is well appointed with everything you would need and the owners were welcoming and kind, they even surprised us with a bottle of wine! This home would work for families as well(children over 5). Plan to stay 2 or more days in Amboise because there is so much to see and do in the area.
