Luxurious apartment with terrace and private parking in the center of Tours

Host met us and explained how to use all the European appliances and electronics. The manual concerning the property is clear and concise with excellent referrals to restaurants, taxis, grocery stores and points of interests. The property is very clean and comfortable. The photos of the property are very accurate. Our only challenge was the use of the rainfall shower. Overall, this is an excellent property which made for an excellent stay in Tours.

This is indeed a very luxury and lovely apartment. Although situated at the centre of the old town, it is a tranquil place. We could do everything by foot in Tours and had a great holiday!

Beautiful area of France. Great restaurants within walking distance.No air conditioning or fans, in a heat wave was not comfortable.

The apartment is in a very good location and the decor is amazing. Clean, bright, quiet, and all appliances worked well (especially nice to have a new washer/tumble dryer). Good communication with Jean-Phillipe. Very happy with our choice of this apartment.

Everything is there! Very good double bed, well equiped kitchen and a fantastic bathroom. Only thing that could be improved, two comfortable easy chairs (feauteuils) in stead of the bed couch.

This historic apartment is minutes away from restaurants and bars. No need to use the car to explore Tours. Further afield,Villandry Chateau is a must. The gardens are beautiful. The small town of Amboise is also worth a vist. We loved the Chateau of Chambord.

Désolé, la majeure partie sera en anglais. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cet appartement. I was sorry not to meet Jean-Philippe in person but we communicated a lot through VRBO. He was very kind about making alternative arrangements for a friend of his to let us into the apartment when our arrival was earlier than his availability. The shower and tub are super cool (and the hot water was delightfully hot, which was great after a rainy, cold day) but definitely takes getting used to in order to get the water to drain properly. We had to help paddle the water into the drain a bit, but it was worth it. We so enjoyed going to Les Halles and cooking at the apartment and had fun watching a DVD on the surround sound big screen during a rainy day. We enjoyed using this lovely location as our home base as we toured the Loire Valley.

This is indeed a luxury property less than one minute walk to the best restaurant street in Tours. The apartment was a total rebuild of an old stone structure and has many designer touches. The large projection TV is situated for viewing from the king size bed. Parking is at a lot less than one minute walk away. The Loire River is 3 minutes away on foot. You can easily walk to the riverside restaurants during the warm months. Ten foot plus ceilings and highest quality appliances. You will enjoy your stay at this property. Very well situated for drives to many of the Loire Chateaux.

Jean-Philippe the owner met me upon my arrival and showed me everything I needed to know about the apartment. It was super clean with lovely appointments, furniture, towels. Kitchen appliances etc. As I was in Tours for a French language course, I spent more time in the apartment than the average tourist. I also did not have a car but there is private parking….a luxury in Tours. The neighborhood is very convenient, close to a Carrefour for groceries, lots of restaurants and everything in the center of Tours. There is a lovely garden but the weather did not cooperate so I did not use it. Now for some of the criticisms of other guests. First the shower. It is true that if you are not careful the floor can get soaked by the rain shower, but I managed to use the shower curtain in such a way that the floor stayed dry. The owner also provides a very easy to use mop if necessary. Others complained about sharp edges on some of the furniture. That was true as well especially if you have young children staying but for me, I was just careful and when I went to sleep I moved the coffee table (it’s on wheels) so that I wouldn’t walk into it during the night. There is plenty of space for clothes and there is a very large bathroom, unusual in France. I would highly recommend the apartment for either a person traveling alone or a couple. If I return to Tours, I will definitely rent the apartment again. Myra USA

After a long and tiring day of travel, arriving at Les Jardine Des Amandiers was a wonderful and pleasant surprise. Jean-Philippe was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations. The apartment had everything you could possibly need to ensure your stay was comfortable and the location very convenient. It was also a very beautiful apartment!
