Lovely French cottage!

Beautiful, spacious and very clean and comfortable cottage! The parking instructions were a little hard to follow, but that was more a language barrier than anything. Once we found parking nearby, all was well! We especially loved the proximity to Clos de Luce! What a treat! The bathroom needed a floor mat of some kind, but we ended up using the extra towel. Keep in mind the restroom is on the first floor and the bedrooms are on the second. Overall a perfect stay!

A gorgeous home

Perfect location to see 2 castles and the home of Leonardo da Vinci during his last years. We had some trouble finding it but it turned out to be under our noses! Be aware that it is on a hill and there are about 40 steps to climb. Good exercise but could be problem if you have health problems.

Quintessential Gite

Good directions to property which included photos including access gate, key box and code. Free parking near-by. Advertised as quiet, but not so. The property is opposite a popular chateau visited by groups of children amongst others, which can be quite excited and noisy; there is also the continued noise of recorded information broadcast through speakers to the visitors. Saying that, it does go quiet in the evening and is peaceful through the night.The property is well fitted (perhaps a little too much - obviously collected over the years or left through inheritance) with lots of crockery and cutlery but the dishwater is too small to accommodate the large plates. Plenty of outdoor garden space with tables, chairs and lounges - short of nothing, there is even an old electric guitar but no amp, and a bicycle parked in the garden, which we didn't try.The property is exceedingly clean but looking a little tired with some chipped paintwork (stairs for example) - perhaps in need of decorating throughout.The bedrooms are in the roof-space with Velux windows. It was hot during our May stay and could possible be too hot during the peak summer months.Nicely positioned to explore this town and surrounding area.

Our stay in amboise

A very traditional french gite in a super location near clos luce. The garden was delightful . The steps up to the house were fine for us but could be an issue for someone less mobile. The inside of the house was nice but in general needed a little spruce up. Very loud creaky stairs so anyone of the 4 of us going downstairs to the toilet in the night woke everyone else up. We had a problem with ants both upstairs and down. But the house was well equipped and at less than 10 minutes walk to town we enjoyed our visit there.

Bien situé à Amboise, à côté du Clos Lucé et à 10 minutes à pieds du centre-ville.

Nous avons passé 3 jours à Amboise, avec comme objectif premier la visite du Clos Lucé. La ville est assez attractive pour ne pas s'ennuyer en 3 jours : très beau et très grand marché le dimanche matin, centre-ville animé, île d'or avec son canoë et la piscine vétuste mais agréable.

Wonderful location & beautiful cottage

We loved our stay at the cottage; its location was perfect - just a 5-7 minute walk to the town center. The cottage itself was so much more spacious than we anticipated; it was more luxurious for us than our hotel in Reims! The grounds were so lovely and lush and we enjoyed the privacy and peacefulness of the property. We would not hesitate again to rent this great little cottage in Amboise!

Great location BUT......... House poorly managed. It needs some TLC both inside & outside; several items were broken or dangerous, like the slippery shower & electric kettle without a lid! With Long COVID the 40 steps up from the road & 10 minutes walk to get the car were not fun!

Super Lage

Das schöne Haus ist sehr ruhig gelegen und dabei sehr zentral. Der Parkplatz ist zwar nicht direkt vor der Haustür. Aber wir fanden es nicht schlimm, ein paar Meter laufen zu müssen. Zum Haus gehört ein relativ großer Garten, teils schattig, teils sonnig. Die Betten sind gut. Die Dachfenster in den Schlafzimmern lassen sich sehr gut verdunkeln. Die Ausstattung ist vollständig, nur sollten einige Töpfe und Pfannen durch neue ersetzt werden (Beschichtung defekt).

Nettes Häuschen, gute Lage

Das Ferienhaus hat eine ideale Lage, in Stadtnähe, aber ruhig. Wir haben abends die Terrasse genossen. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr gut. Es gibt einen Punkt Abzug, da im deutschen Inserat nicht drinsteht, dass für Bettwäsche und Handtücher eine Pauschale anfällt und der öffentliche Parkplatz ca. 200 m entfernt ist. WiFi wäre noch schön. Ansonsten aber zu empfehlen.

Accès au gîte via des escaliers dans une rue à sens unique donc petit bémol pour décharger /charger la voiture et monter les vélos et les bagages. Mais quel calme ensuite, on se sent comme chez soi !
