3 bedroom 3 bathroom town house in the heart of the Loire castles

Short stays accepted from 2 nights. This adorable holiday home for 6/7 people, with its 3 bedrooms, 1 of which is equipped with a TV with Play station 2 with games of all ages and DVD player for children, its 3 bathrooms with showers and WC for one maximum privacy, fitted American kitchen and a living room, all in a neat and cozy decor, and although in the city center with all the shops, you will find a calm and soothing place. All the windows of the rooms are to the south and do not overlook any road, you will be the neighbors for a few days of the last home of Leonardo da Vinci 'le Clos Lucé', where he often received the visit of his friend, King François 1er . The Gite is located in the most visited street of Amboise (mostly pedestrian traffic) indeed, it connects Clos Lucé to the Castle, on the way you can stop to look at the cave houses still inhabited today. You can also take walking trails which pass at the foot of the cottage, as well as the Loire à Vélo route. Amboise is the central point for the visit of the Loire Castles: Chenonceaux, Chambord, Cheverny, Blois, Chaumont and its fabulous gardens, Ussé (the Sleeping Beauty Castle), and many more ... To discover !
You can also eat with Tourangelles specialties in one of the many restaurants in the city, 5 minutes' walk from the gite, and so enjoy the Loire wines produced in our region in peace. And then, visit the winegrowers who will make you visit their cellars and taste their production.

Ambrosia in Amboise
We absolutely loved staying at Alexandra’s house in Amboise. The location, ambience, highend finishings and a 20 minute walk from the train station: all was well, even with a construction project down the road toward the Chateau Royal. I’ll say it again: we absolutely loved our stay in Amboise—unfortunately not for anyone with mobility issues

Cosy stay in rainy Loire
We spent 6 nights in Amboise as part of a 2 week Loire Valley trip, where the weather, at the end of Sept/early October, was consistently rainy and chilly. It is a great base for seeing lots of chateaux. The pros - it is in a quiet location a short walk up from the main town and convenient for seeing Amboise’s sites. The heating worked well, important given how damp and rainy it was. There is a washer and dryer - great for longer stays. Alexandra was easy to reach and very friendly. Beware - the town of Amboise is doing major road construction, and the street where the house is located will be inaccessible to cars for months, making getting luggage in and out of the house a challenge. Alexandra can give options. The house is ancient, but has been modernized and fitted out to meet holiday needs. There were two of us - and we used the upstairs bedroom and bathroom, which were cosy. There was good lighting and lots of cupboard space. The living room was compact but fine for us. The kitchen has all the usual equipment you need to prepare your own meals. The other bedrooms/bathrooms are downstairs from the street level, with windows on the back of the lower part of the house. There were lots of steps up and down to access.them. Make sure to pick up supplies before you arrive - apart from coffee and basic condiments. Within a 10 minute walk there is a small grocery as well as a wonderful bakery and many restaurants.

Privacy for 3 couples, comfort and location
We thought this place was much more charming in person than in photos! We loved the uniqueness of this property which was on different levels. Each of the 3 bedrooms had its own bathroom which is impossible to find in France. Walked a few minutes to town which is super close and it’s right next to chateau de clos Lucé. Great place to explore in and around Amboise.

Perfect Location and Layout
We absolutely loved our stay at this Amboise home! Steps away from Leonardo da Vinci's chateau, easy walking distance to center city, and separate bedrooms and baths for all of our family all made our stay easy and relaxing. Our hosts were so attentive and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again!

Room for all!
We had 3 couples traveling and all of us had plenty of private space as well communal gathering. We ate wonderful breakfasts in, before setting out in our car (close car park was very easy), for the conveniently located sites. Then, always a pleasure to return to, before walking to one of the numerous, great restaurants! This place is for active people who don't mind stairs, we found it perfect!

Lovely home in a great location
Our family of four + dog loved our stay in this lovely, quirky and homely townhouse in an ideal location for exploring all that Amboise has to offer. The layout of the house and particularly the three bathrooms was perfect for us and our teenagers. The hostess was very quick to respond to our queries and the check-in process could not have been easier. We hope to return.

Excellent choice for visiting the Loire
This is an excellent value and nice property to use as a base for visiting the Loire Valley. The house is on a beautiful street in Amboise with easy parking. Plenty of room with nice amenities. Three bathrooms were awesome. Air conditioners were available in the bedrooms. This was a nice surprise. There was no problem with heat or sleeping at night. This rental is a great value and highly recommended.

Great location & venue!
Communications with host are easy and excellent - very accomodating! Location is ideal for easy walking access, whether to the chateau or to Clos du Luce. Guests must be comfortable with negotiating stairs, but is in every other way an excellent venue. It has a very functional kitchen, of which we made good use. It, and Amboise in general, is a great base for exploring the Loire Valley.

Great Gite Next Door to Leonardo da Vinci's House
Beautiful and functional renovation of a 19th century house. Superb location in Ambroise. Walk to everything. House very well appointed with 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. We appreciated the new washer and dryer and the large size refrigerator. Dead quiet for sleeping, especially in the downstairs bedrooms. Really there were no problems at all during our stay and Alexandra was very responsive to all inquiries. Very much recommended.

Excellent stay in a unique house.
We were visiting from San Diego and loved this house. The location was great as well as the parking and convenience to the castle. The remodel on the house was also superb. The owners took this old broken place and turned it into a piece of art work. The stairs were an engineering marvel in themselves. Lots of private spaces for a family. I recommend this house to all travelers.

Temporary Resident!
We loved our stay here and felt like temporary residents of the town. The location is great - right next to Leonardo da Vinci‘s last home Clos de Luce and A very short walk to Town Center. We loved being so close to all the town shops, restaurants, cafés, winery, the château… couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Also close to the market on the weekend which was fabulous. And to the supermarket in town for necessary supplies. The house was spacious and we all settled in nicely for breakfast around the table and snacks and drinks at other times. It’s a house with a very interesting set up on three floors which means it would likely present mobility challenges for some and could be difficult if there were small children. Checking was easy and simple with a code and lockbox. We loved our temporary Amboise citizen status. 😊
