Charming Wine Makers Cottage . Amboise , Loire Valley , AC & SALT SWIMMING POOL!

This is a lovely property and we had a wonderful time. My husband and I rented for three weeks, one week during which our adult children and partners joined. Our hosts, Paul and Irena were exceptionally helpful. They provided whatever information/help we needed. They have done a fantastic job landscaping the property, and the interior is very comfortable. We rented bikes, took long walks from the house (fields and forests), grilled meals every night and of course since it is Chateaux country, there is much to see and do. If there is any drawback it would be the bit of traffic noise heard, but only in the pool area. We are city people, New Yorkers, and so are probably unreasonably looking for absolute silence. We would highly recommend this house! Thank you Paul and Irena!

Great location, comfortable house with all amenities, great base for our visit to the Loire Valley!

The cottage was lovely with an amazing pool and gardens , very relaxing and close to the local town filled with bars and restaurants , one of the most relaxing weeks away we’ve had , highly recommend the cottage, Paul the owner was very helpful and really made us feel at home.

We just returned from a week long stay at Paul and Irina’s lovely cottage in Amboise. We were hoping for a quiet place to relax after a busy week in Paris and it was perfect in every way. While the weather wasn’t quite what we were hoping for (no relaxing by the pool or on the patio) we did really enjoy sitting by the fire with a glass of wine looking out on the lovely vista. Paul is an amazing host and kept in touch regularly before our arrival. The cottage itself is so charming and comfortable, just right for me, my husband and sister with the bedrooms being on separate sides of the house. The beds are very comfortable as previously stated by other guests. We took advantage of the concierrge Paul suggested, Summer Janeaud, and she really made the trip special. It was wonderful having her make all the arrangements for us for both castles and restaurants and she had delicious food and wine waiting for us when we arrived. I highly recommend using her services. We will have lovely memories or our time in Amboise and hope to be back someday. Thank you Paul and Irina for your kind hospitality!

Love the home, the collection of racing books. The new pool is a winner and having dinner outside surrounded by vines is perfection. Excellent air conditioning. Paul the owner is engaging, helpful and passionate that you enjoy your time in his home. We had many memorable meals from his recommendations. The only thing I wish would be to have stayed longer.

The house is great, and Paul was responsive and friendly. We loved our stay in Amboise and would return to this property again.

If you want to experience what the French call “le joie de vivre”, this is the perfect home for you. Excellent location. Immaculately clean. Air conditioned. Beautiful swimming pool. Everything is perfect. You feel like you’re in your own little paradise. The pool faces the sunset. The parking is great. The beds are comfortable. It was truly one of the best stays we have ever had. A touch of the old France with the new comforts of living. Paul was wonderful to work with and gave us suggestions of which places to visit. He was responsive and very kind. Thank you Paul.

17th century winemaker cottage tucked away on a quiet and private hillside. Pool and a/c made the hottest week in recent years very manageable. Convenient base for amboise and neighboring chateau. We like lunch out while touring and market purchasesd dinners at home in the evenings. Owner, Paul, is great to work with. We also used the recommended concierge, named Summer, for services like tickets and chateau reservations. She is fantastic.

This home is everything that we hoped it would be and more. First of all, they are the most comfortable beds any of us had slept in. Working with Paul, the owner, made this a great experience. He even called me at home prior to our departure to make sure that we had all the information we needed about the surrounding area and to fill us in on any questions we had concerning the rental. This is the dream home of the owners and they live here part of the time. We felt as if we were stepping into an established house fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The owners are even in the process of putting in a swimming pool. There is a heat pump which means air conditioning as well as heat. It was very quiet and the views would make you think you were in the French countryside. The only complaint we had is that we did not stay long enough. If we plan another trip to this area, we will definitely stay in Paul’s home.

We had a 3 day stay in this special property. The cottage is decorated beautifully in true French country style. Master bedroom is perfect with a lovely ensuite. The third bedroom is up a steep stairway but has it's own bathroom that is located behind a eave. We did not use that bedroom, which has two full beds. The second upstairs bedroom is somewhat open to downstairs and does not have it's own bathroom and shares the downstairs bathroom. The property setting is lovely although not in a rural area. We enjoyed the view although there was some traffic noise in the morning. The kitchen has all amenities needed to make dinners at home. The town is enchanting with two lovely chateaus to visit. Would love to make a return visit. Thank you, Paul, for being so helpful before and during our stay!
