Amboise and environs is a wonderful place to visit, made all the... More

Perfect location for touring the area. Easy to get in and out of Amboise, easy to park the car, easy to walk everywhere in Amboise. Very comfortable accommodation with good bed, nice kitchenware, and gorgeous view of the castle. Chantal is a fine ambassador for the Loire Valley.

I stayed on the bottom floor which was perfect. It's nicely decorated, warm and charming. I loved it! It is an easy walk to the centre where shops, cafes,... More

La Porte Bleue consists of 1 or 2 apartments on an island with a fabulous view of the chateau. The historic property was lovingly restored by proprietress Chantal Salvaudon who attended to all of our needs. The apartment is well equipped, spacious, and tastefully appointed. Wallking distance to town amenities without being in the touristic center. Great weekly town market.... More
