Stayed Sep 10, 2025Amazing location, we had a family stay here and the house had its quirks which we loved, eg the spiral staircase and overall history of the property.It is a short walk to town and the kids had a great time.

Stayed Jul 12, 2025We had a lovely stay in Amboise.Parking was a bit tricky due to renovations but, the place was charming & close to all the sites we wanted to visit.The cave felt too moist to sleep in but, a cool feature.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay. Paul was great to work with in dealing with some technical problems in the booking and reservation process. Very good restoration of a charming 16th century home. All three bedrooms(including the troglo room) are spacious. The property is clean, well designed and comfortable. The location is superb, steps from the Clos Luce and a short walk to the Chateau and many restaurants, patisseries and a traiteur. Parking was convenient, close and free. While located right on the street (one way) traffic and noise were not a problem. It was nice to sit in the living room with the window open and see lots of folks walking by and admiring the architecture and our cozy situation. (some obviously envious!) Twin room on top has a toilet and sink, some low beans (which add to the charm and a great place to hang clothes). Queen on first floor has a bath with toilet and shower outside the room and is huge. Trog room has shower in room and toilet located off courtyard. Kitchen small and well equipped. Keypad entry was great as we were 3 couples so everyone had access without having to worry about keys. Spiral wooden steps were charming but might be challenging for less mobile older adults. Easy internet access. Highly recommend this gite.
