About this property
Beautifully decorated and renovated house in Amboise
Completely renovated in 2012, this XVI th century house is a typical regional house with a "troglo" room (in the rock).
Renovated by a team of local specialised builders using traditional techniques under the responsibility of a certified architect, the Tortue de Leonardo offers you all modern equipments and comfort in a traditional and historical place.
Located against the hill between the Chateau d'Amboise and the Clos Lucé (where da Vinci lived his last years), la Tortue is a jewel made of tradition and peacefullness in one of the most attractive town in France.
Professionally decorated, la Tortue will allow you to relax in a region made of tradition and history. Indeed, on top of the many castles (Amboise, Chenonceau, Chambord.....) you will have the possibility to discover le Clos Lucé, the Chanteloup Pagoda, the Touraine Aquarium, many wine producers and for the more adventurous tree climbing, Kayak, hot air balloons....
