Spacious, interesting apartment
Information provided on restaurants etc very useful
Stairs a bit difficult, but we had been warned.

This accommodation was well located. A lovely view from our window of the chateau. The house has a rich history, lots of character but modern conveniences. The bed was comfortable, the shower hot. The host sent a video explaining entry and parking procedures making arrival relaxed. The 36 steps up a spiral staircase added to the character of the accommodation but I suspect would not suit those in poor health as it's a long carry up the stairs with bags. Loved the Philosophers House and loved Amboise.

Everything. This is our third stay. It's like having a second home that we visit each July. The apartment is very modern & well-equipped. The bathroom has a large shower and is quite spacious. The bedroom has plenty of storage and the bed is very comfortable. A 3 minute walk into the centre of Amboise, its chateau & its many restaurants.

Beautiful apartment, great location, the hosts were so lovely and helpful and gave us a welcome gift, parking off the street, lots of space even for a studio apartment.
(Not a problem for us) but as a warning - narrow staircase to get to room.

Beautiful, really well set up apartment close to the main town centre in Amboise and great hosts. Added bonus, on site parking.

Hosts were readily available. We had an enquiry which the host responded to immediately. Our appartment had off street parking a real bonus
The bathroom was well appointed and spotless but I am 1.9 meters tall and the shower was a tight fit. However I managed but had I dropped the soap there was no chance of retrieving it.

My wife and I really loved our stay at La maison du philosophe! It was perfect! The location is exceptional and had parking on site. Close to everything that you want to see in Amboise. The apt was immaculate. Very clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed a couple of nights cooking there and found everything that we needed to do so. Oh by the way the castle view from our windows was amazing!!! Old building with a great story that was perfect.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our apartment on the ground floor had a modern feel and was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and Chateau Amboise. Easy free parking across the street. Communication with the host was excellent and we enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine in the backyard. Would stay here again

The location was perfect, quiet yet close to everything. Free reserved parking was great. The flat itself had everything we needed and more, including a washing machine, which was handy. And the flat is beautiful. Franck and Delphine had lots of local tips both in their welcoming messages and in a binder onsite and were responsive and helpful. I would love to stay there again, even longer!

Well appointed apartment with all mod cons. Very clean & warm.
Owners were easy to get in touch with & left welcome gifts which was a nice touch.
Free private parking & well situated to walk into centre of town.
Stairs would be a problem for anyone with mobility issues but owners make you aware of this.

Excellent location to explore Amboise and make day trips to the Loire Chateaux. The flat was clean and charming, the hosts were superb. We absolutely loved our stay and felt warmly welcomed.
When the weather is warm, it is tempting to leave the windows open for comfort, but there are so many motorbikes in Amboise and they like to gun the throttle as they pass the intersection in front of the property. This can make sleep a challenge. This is not a reflection on the property and we would go there again ... but Amboise needs to enforce a noise ordinance.

Everything. The location was wonderful, just a short walk to the Chateau, restaurants & boulangeries. Parking was good. Apartment well equipped View of the Chateau from kitchen window while eating out breakfast was amazing. Nice touch having loungers in the garden.
Nothing. We will be back.

Only the cups without handles - potentially dangerous with drinks made with boiling water.
I nearly burnt my fingers and dropped the cup. Please give guests 2 mugs with handles too.

The owner is quite welcoming and friendly, who always replies promptly.
The best part of the place is the on-site parking, secure and convenient.
The dining area is a little too small to enjoy meals.

La Maison du Philosophe was in a great location. The apartment had everything you needed along with a lot of thoughtful extras. It was clean and well equipped with clothes washer, heated towel rail, hair dryer, coffee machine etc. It is beautifully decorated and has a very comfortable bed and couch. You need to take care with suitcases when using the narrow completely authentic stairs. We stayed in the apartment on the top floor (2nd) and enjoyed the views.
We found that the 1700 (5 pm ) check in quite late and the 10 am checkout a little early. We did request a 12 pm checkout but this was not possible due to the cleaning schedule.

Everything about the property was excellent. We were especially impressed with the kitchen equipment and other facilities. It was also very quiet - we couldn't even hear the other people in the building. The location is ideal and the advice from the owners on local sights, shops and restaurants was very useful.

Very clean; hosts were very responsive; very helpful welcome book on the table; champagne and cookies on arrival were a welcome touch; small space but well utilized
Spiders - didn't see them during the day but they came out at night due to the street light by the window. The rest of the property was impeccably clean but I killed about 20 spiders inside all near the window.
