We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy little gem in Amboise! Even before our arrival, the host went above and beyond—reaching out with detailed instructions on exactly where to pull up for easy unloading of our luggage, and she was right there waiting to greet us. She was incredibly kind, full of local knowledge, and quick to answer any questions we had throughout our stay.There is a narrow staircase leading up to the apartment, so just be prepared to make an extra trip if you have larger bags—but it’s totally manageable. And once you reach the apartment, you’re rewarded with a warm, cottage-like space that’s absolutely full of charm. Exposed wood beams, hardwood floors, a thoughtful collection of books and regional maps, and a peaceful color scheme all create a relaxing atmosphere.But hands down, the best part was the view. Sitting on the couch with a morning coffee, gazing out at the Château Royal d’Amboise—it was pure magic. And in the evenings, walking along the river just outside the door while the château lights up is something we’ll never forget.The location is unbeatable—just a short walk across the bridge puts you right in the heart of town, and if you’re exploring the Loire Valley by car like we were, it’s an easy drive to other nearby châteaux.I would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone visiting the region—it was a highlight of our trip!
