Spacious 18th century house, Loire Valley UNESCO heritage

This house was perfect for our stay in Amboise, we used it as a base to visit the castles of Chambord, Chenonceaux, Blois, and of course Amboise. The apartment was a 10 minute drive to downtown (no sidewalk to walk there). The 3 bedrooms were comfortable and clean. One bedroom with a queen bed had a 1/2 bath attached (stand-up shower and no toilet). The other bedrooms had either a queen bed or the bunk-beds.In the hallway there is a toilet room, and another 1/2 bath with a stand-up shower and double sinks as well as the washing machine (no dryer - as is common in France).The kitchen had plenty of things to cook with and dishes to use as well as the full-size fridge, microwave, dishwasher, toaster - most things you would find in a kitchen.The parking on spot was easy, accessible, and directly in front of the house. The house is not a stand-alone house; It is more like a townhome, connected to others on either side.The house was a little outdated, but not horrible - it was fine for our group of 2 adults and 4 children (17, 18, 18, 18). The large living room and kitchen gave us plenty of room to relax.The only concern I would have is that the listing said that there were no hidden fees associated with the listing, but when we got closer to the date of the visit (after we could no longer cancel), we were told that we would be charged extra for them to provide linens and towels. The price was reasonable, but the fact we had to pay more after the fact was bothersome.

This was a great stay! It was luxurious to have so much space! Conveniently located to all the attractions in Amboise, and a winery a literal stone’s throw away. One downside was no internet or wifi, and within the house the signal was poor- had to pop outside a few times when internet was needed. We would definitely stay again!

We had a lovely stay. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. Good beds good showers plenty of hot water. Good cooker. The garden was slightly disappointing.
