The Donjon (Tower) Room is a unique experience I'll never forget. The two-story room sits high in the Château's main turret, where a bedroom graces the lower level and glass-floor bathroom (!!) has been crammed into the upper reaches of the tower. The toilet sits in a tiny enclosed stall, so at least your covered there. But watch your head - those arches hang low, especially in the middle of the night after you've bobbled up a narrow set of winding stairs. Also, how is it that the bidet sits across the glass floor from the toilet??

Regardless, this is an entertaining room, and one to book if you're looking for a bit of an adventure. But pack light - the turret stairs are difficult to navigate with bags in tow!

Historical perspective: The Château was built in the 15th century and later visited by Kings Charles VII and Louis XII. It also played host to General Charles de Gaulle, who stayed here before fleeing to England ahead of the advancing German army.

A bit warm in the upper level, could benefit from large fan in smaller bedroom, replenishment of some supplies. Overall, great place to stay and excellent host communication!"

"Nous avons passé un agréable séjour partagé entre la visite du château de Villandry et le zoo de beauval avec une belle location aménagée avec goût."

"My friends and I had an amazing stay at this lovely house. Especially the outdoor area was beautiful and the pool was great! The house is just a 10 minute drive from a lovely town and shops for groceries. The hosts even organised for us to go horse-riding at their horse riding school which was a great experience. Overall, we loved our stay and had the great time. Eloïse and her father were a great help when we needed it and they were such lovely people!"

"Very nice house, awesome pool. Pascal is a very friendly host!"

"Gîte au calme en pleine campagne , avec tout le confort nécessaire, un petit jardin clos devant le gîte avec table de jardin, fauteuils .Des hôtes très accueillants et très sympathiques "

"This is a lovely rustic country house on an acreage minutes away from Amboise. The hostess Marie-Josephe is a lovely woman who is very generous with her produce from her garden and fruit trees. Her free range chickens are entertaining and the eggs are delicious! We would recommend staying here if you’re looking for a quiet, out of the way location, yet within minutes to Amboise, the Chateau, restaurants, and vineyards!"

"It was fun staying in this apartment. It truly was a cave, but with all the amenities. Enjoyed our stay and out host was very helpful and responsive. "

"Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Laurent dans sa charmante maison très fonctionnelle, très bien équipée et agréable. Idéalement placée pour vadrouiller dans le coin. Un grand merci "

"Bon endroit pour partir en famille, le gîte était très fonctionnel, la télé fonctionne. Peut-être une rencontre physique avec la propriétaire aurait été un plus, mais tout s’est très bien passé, elle a été très réactif par téléphone."

"La propriétaire a été très arrangeante pour notre arrivée et notre départ, ce que nous avons apprécié. La proximité des commerces essentiels avec gratuité du stationnement dans la rue pour notre véhicule est un point important. Maison propre et fonctionnelle, au calme, avec étage en sous pente. Literie confortable dans les 2 chambres. Pour les familles avec très jeunes enfants : il faudra faire attention avec l'escalier."

5/5 Excellent

"Our visit here was excellent. The property seems extraordinarily new or recently refurbished. The room was quite large given its close proximity to the downtown streets of Amboise. The staff were extremely pleasant and you could tell they are well trained/coached on ensuring positive guest experience. I would highly recommend a stay here. "
