Our stay in Amboise

A perfectly place house with a large garden and off-road parking. Very near to the center of Amboise allowing us to walk to the town very easily. Three large bedrooms (two King doubles and a twin) with three bathrooms. Cosy kichen/diner and lounge. Free wifi was a great help as well as UK TV channels. Very helpful host too.

Très bien situé.

Si vous voulez visiter les châteaux de la Loire, alors ne cherchez plus, cette maison est très bien située. A 10 min à pied du château d'Amboise, 15 min pour le Clos Lucé, pour les autres châteaux compter 30 a 40 min en voiture. Possibilité de faire de belles balades à pied ou en vélo, le long de la Loire. Concernant les commerces de proximité, il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour faire ses courses à pieds. Une bonne boulangerie au bout de la rue, un supermarché juste en face. La maison est très bien équipée, comme si nous étions à la maison, un très bon wifi. Mr Le Net est hyper sympa, un grand merci pour le cadeau de bienvenue. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir.

Loire revisted

We were initially worried about parking outside, but Jean reassured us it would be ok. The house was immaculate, lovely big comfy beds and everything you could need in the kitchen (not that we did much cooking) Garden was a real haven. Walk into the town was longer than we expected, but we are in our 70’s so took our time and got used to it. Shop over the road proved very useful and I think the boulangerie at the end of the road sells the best croissants in the world!! Highly recommend if you are going to stay in Amboise.

Peaches a bonus

Well appointed and a great location just out of town centre. On the main road but slightly set back so quiet. A great place to explore Amboise and the Loire from, we cycled everywhere. Off road private parking and secure bicycle storage. As mentioned the peaches in the garden a delicious bonus. Intend to return to Loire to continue exploration and this property is top of list for next booking.

Perfect location

Perfect home base for all the sights we wanted to see in Amboise, and such an easy, pleasant walk into town to restaurants, the chateau, and Clos de Luce. The lodge had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the grocery store across the street is so convenient.

Perfect place for Amboise and the Loire

We’re so pleased we stayed at Jean Loïc’s lovely country house. Amazing views of the Loire from the upstairs bedroom, 5 minutes walk to a wonderful boulangerie, 10 minutes to the centre along the river. Spacious, clean, well equipped and a very friendly and personable host too! Easy and enjoyable drives to some of the best chateaux in the area. Leonardo DVs house was a particular delight. Highly recommended.

Eine tolle Wohnung mit einem sehr freundlichen Gastgeber

Die Wohnung ist gut eingerichtet und einem Top Zustand (besonders die Badezimmer). Die Lage am Fluss ist toll, man hört allerdings die Straße vor der Haustür (deshalb nur 4 Sterne). Jean-Loic ist ein sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Vielen Dank für eine entspannte Woche an der Loire.

Great Location to Amboise

Good situation

The property is on the banks of the Loire with easy access on foot to the town of Amboise. There is parking on site and a small supermarket is only across the road. The property was very well equipped with everything you might need cooking- wise though we ate out most nights or had a barbecue. The slightly wild garden full of nesting birds was a delight. We caught the train to Tours and drove to Blois, Villandry, Azay Le Rideau all within easy distance. Good birdwatching along the Loire - teens and a cuckoo were particular delights.

City stay

This property was ideal for cycling along the Loire and visiting other towns and the Aquarium. It was also very conveniently located for walking into the town. Jean-Loïc recommended several places to visit and restaurants to eat at. He left macarons from Bigou (the best Salon du Thè) and champagne. The garden was a pleasure to sit in when too hot to go out and the view from the upstairs bedroom over the Loire was amazing. We would definitely recommend this property.

Excellent séjour

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Amboise. Le gîte est bien placé, proche du centre ville. Le marché est à 5 minutes à pied. Il est assez grand et bien équipé. Le jardin est très agréable. Nous avons également apprécié la vue sur la Loire et les décollages de montgolfières. Le propriétaire est charmant. Nous le remercions pour ses attentions.

Handy House for Exploring Amboise and near to most facilities.

We had a very enjoyable stay here on the outskirts of Amboise. As other visitors have said it is very handy to have Netto over the road, a Boulangerie about 5 minutes away and the Market almost at the end of the garden twice a week. We enjoyed walking by the river into Town and to the Da Vinci house and exhibition. The Restaurant Manureva down the street was good value and quality for lunch and dinner. Jen-Loic took great care to make sure we had arrived safely and went to the trouble of delivering a kettle for the English to make tea. We particularly liked using the outdoor covered seating area for meals and relaxing in the garden on the recliners. The equipment and features in the house left us with nothing to comment on. Everything you could want in white goods and kitchen equipment is there. For cyclists the Loire Route is at the end of the garden and we used it to walk to the next village as well as into town by the river.

Good position

Well-equipped and comfortable cottage. The three ensuites were a bonus - not often we have found that with French properties. Good garden with table and chairs for outside eating. We were fortunate to hit a beautiful spell of weather and had all our meals in the garden. There is a good deal to see in Amboise and the property is close enough to the town to walk in. It's even closer to the market which consisted of a large one on Sunday and a smaller local type one on Friday. Both were good but we thought the Friday one was one of the best we have found in France. Good supermarket just across the road was a real boon. There is also an excellent Boulangerie just along the road.

Great holiday home near to town

Great holiday home with a real French feel, a short walk to the local town and a weekend market just round the corner. Also very close to a swimming pool for the children. The house has all the French charm and all you will need for a great holiday.

Belle maison, bien située

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour à Amboise, dans cette joli maison récemment refaite à neuf et très bien pensée, avec trois grandes chambres qui ont chacune une salle de bain ou une salle d'eau. Le jardin est également bien entretenu et d'une bonne taille. La maison est en bord de Loire, et toute proche du centre d'Amboise, idéalement située pour visiter les principaux châteaux de la Loire. Le propriétaire est très sympathique et accueillant. Bref, nous recommandons chaudement d'y séjourner !

Gite on the Loire

This is a traditional little French house which has been modernised simply and sympathetically. The kitchen is nicely fitted and modern, as are the bathrooms. There is a wet room on the ground floor. The owner met us on arrival and was most helpful and friendly. He speaks good English. We enjoyed sitting out in the secluded garden which is at the rear, and where there is also secure off street parking. There is a lovely view of the Loire from an upstairs bedroom. This property could hardly be more conveniently located. There is a small supermarket just across the street and also a petrol pump. Amboise itself is within easy walking distance. There is a lovely market in the town, and also a wide choice of restaurants. There are many chateaux and historic sites within a short driving distance. We had a lovely stay in this simple holiday home.

Super séjour du 17 au 23 Mai 2015 au bord de la Loire. Gite moderne et trés bien équipé. Meublé avec gout, tout y est rien ne manque. Idéalement situé à 2 pas du centre d'Amboise. Petites attentions à notre arrivée et accueil chaleureux de la part du propriétaire. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter !!
