Quiet and Close in Amboise

Here you are steps away from the action but tucked back in utter silence. The room was comfortable and was well attended to by the host. Two wishes were for a nicer garden patio area and WiFi.

Idylle mitten in der Stadt

Wirklich charmante Höhle wenige Gehminuten vom zentralen Platz und vom Schloss. Herrlich ruhig, nur tagsüber einige vorbeiziehende Touristengruppen auf dem Weg zum Clos-Lucé. Angenehmes Raumklima, kleiner Garten. Gerne wieder.

Adorable troglo in Amboise

This little troglo/cave cottage was unique but very comfortable. Just the right size for a couple. Amboise is a wonderful town and a great place to use as a base for the Loire Valley. Merielle, the owner is very nice and helpful.

"Our Rave about the Cave"

Our host was gracious, welcoming and SWEET. She has created a warm and very interesting setting. It obviously took an endless amount of time to create this "nest". We had a WONDERFUL time!!

Amazing.

We’ll be telling everyone we stayed in a Castle. Not entirely true but close enough. This small studio style apartment is in a cave at the foot of the Castle. Excellent location. Nice and clean with a nice friendly host Mireille. Maybe a little humid but after all. It’s a cave!

le calme de la campagne à 5 minutes du centre historique

Adossé à l'éperon rocheux du château d'Amboise, ce studio troglodyte est décoré avec goût; il y fait "naturellement frais" ce qui est appréciable pour un sommeil réparateur. L'emplacement est idéal à 5 minutes du centre ville, du château d'Amboise, du clos Lucé et du château Gaillard. Mireille, la propriétaire, est sympathique et à l'écoute de ses hôtes. Elle est présente tout en restant discrète.

Un petit nid adorable, confortable et charmant

Nous avons été agréablement surpris par la gentillesse de la propriétaire, à l'écoute de ses clients, en tout discrétion. Une décoration faite par elle avec beaucoup de goût et d'imagination, tout en étant très bien équipé. Un sentiment d'être à l'écart tout en étant dans le centre ville (un petit jardin adorable). L'expérience d'habiter un logement troglodyte es également agréable. Un endroit que nous conseillons fortement.

Joli appart Troglo et super bien placé

Le petit coin jardin est formidable, la chambre et appartement très bien entretenu et l hôtesse très sympathique. Seul hic, le bruit du réfrigérateur la nuit pour l endroit calme c était un peu perturbant.
