You will have at your disposal a queen size bed, a separate toilet, a sofa bed, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a dryer, a heater and fans - A studio equipped with a double bed (140x190cm), a television, a kitchen, an office area and fans.
We opened this apartment in January 2020 because we have long wanted to make people discover our region: its castles, gardens, vineyards and gastronomy. We like to travel but we don't like to be taken for consumer tourists. So we will be able to advise you local actors who work on a human scale and for a good value for money or give you a lot of information. We like to share.
In addition to the castles of Amboise, Clos-Lucé, Chenonceaux, Chaumont-sur-Loire or Blois. We recommend the international garden festival of Chaumont-sur-Loire (April to October), a visit of the vineyards and wine tasting, a hot air balloon ride over the castles. We will be able to put you in touch with quality service providers. We also have a partnership with a massage and well-being salon. We will be able to indicate you the restaurants appreciated by the amboisiens according to your budget.
