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"

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!

le calme de la campagne à 5 minutes du centre historique

Adossé à l'éperon rocheux du château d'Amboise, ce studio troglodyte est décoré avec goût; il y fait "naturellement frais" ce qui est appréciable pour un sommeil réparateur. L'emplacement est idéal à 5 minutes du centre ville, du château d'Amboise, du clos Lucé et du château Gaillard. Mireille, la propriétaire, est sympathique et à l'écoute de ses hôtes. Elle est présente tout en restant discrète.
