Excellent location to explore Amboise and make day trips to the Loire Chateaux. The flat was clean and charming, the hosts were superb. We absolutely loved our stay and felt warmly welcomed.
When the weather is warm, it is tempting to leave the windows open for comfort, but there are so many motorbikes in Amboise and they like to gun the throttle as they pass the intersection in front of the property. This can make sleep a challenge. This is not a reflection on the property and we would go there again ... but Amboise needs to enforce a noise ordinance.
5.0
Everything. The location was wonderful, just a short walk to the Chateau, restaurants & boulangeries. Parking was good. Apartment well equipped View of the Chateau from kitchen window while eating out breakfast was amazing. Nice touch having loungers in the garden.
Nothing. We will be back.

The apartment is very well equipped, immaculately clean and in a great location.
We would certainly stay agai
Only the cups without handles - potentially dangerous with drinks made with boiling water.
I nearly burnt my fingers and dropped the cup. Please give guests 2 mugs with handles too.
5.0
The owner is quite welcoming and friendly, who always replies promptly.
The best part of the place is the on-site parking, secure and convenient.
The dining area is a little too small to enjoy meals.

La Maison du Philosophe was in a great location. The apartment had everything you needed along with a lot of thoughtful extras. It was clean and well equipped with clothes washer, heated towel rail, hair dryer, coffee machine etc. It is beautifully decorated and has a very comfortable bed and couch. You need to take care with suitcases when using the narrow completely authentic stairs. We stayed in the apartment on the top floor (2nd) and enjoyed the views.
We found that the 1700 (5 pm ) check in quite late and the 10 am checkout a little early. We did request a 12 pm checkout but this was not possible due to the cleaning schedule.

5.0
Everything about the property was excellent. We were especially impressed with the kitchen equipment and other facilities. It was also very quiet - we couldn't even hear the other people in the building. The location is ideal and the advice from the owners on local sights, shops and restaurants was very useful.
Nothing!

Very clean; hosts were very responsive; very helpful welcome book on the table; champagne and cookies on arrival were a welcome touch; small space but well utilized
Spiders - didn't see them during the day but they came out at night due to the street light by the window. The rest of the property was impeccably clean but I killed about 20 spiders inside all near the window.

5.0
Excellent location. Beautifully and tastefully decorated. Lovely quality crockery and glassware with sufficient provided for using the dishwasher. Really good folder full of helpful local tips and advice provided. So many great bakeries and eateries within easy reach. Excellent communication from hosts. Lots of things to see and do within very close proximity. Washing machine really useful for travellers like ourselves who are on a longer trip. Thanks very much for the welcome gifts.
Air conditioning would have been perfect as we visited during a heat wave with temperatures up to 40 degrees. Our hosts did provide fans for the living area and one for the bedroom ,but sadly we still couldn’t sleep too much. However, this would not deter me from revisiting and I do understand that fitting air con in such a beautiful old property would be a travesty.

The room was bright. The owners were helpful
Sofa bed was comfortable but I would have preferred a bed. The bathroom was small.

Location!
Stayed 4 nights & were expected to use one towel for the whole stay. When we asked for a new set of towels (also because the first one had a musty smell), the initial response was that they're not a full service hotel but eventually gave us a new set.

We loved everything about this property. Perfect stay for our family of four. The owners/hosts have really thought of everything. They were responsive and clear about how to do any and everything in the apartment. Would happily book again. Merci!

The spacious, spotlessly clean apartment is newly appointed with quality bedding and furnishings. The kitchen and bathroom are well equipped and modern. Centrally positioned just a few minutes walk from the chateau and the restaurants with the bonus of very secure parking in the heart of the town puts it very high on our list of desires. Delphine cares deeply that her clients are very satisfied with the accommodations. So YES we will return with family and friends who are visiting us in the Centre of France. As there are 2 apartments and 1 studio we can rent more than 1 accommodation to suit our needs. We live 2 hours from Amboise and having access to this delightful appartement makes a few days away, visiting the Chateaux a true pleasure. We wish Delphine and Franc every success in this project. We will return.
We have no negative comments.

We were travelling across France and needed to sleep for a night on our way back home because of Covid. We had never heard of Ambroise - but the picturre of the appartment looked great and the location suited our travel plan very well.
Everything about this appartment was great - comfortable bedrooms, nice family table where you could play cards and wonderful view over the old town. The nearness of Leonardo da Vinci was also all around, both in the appartment but also in this beautiful town. Great experience and hopefully can we come back one day and enjoy the museums, the gardens and the castles.
5.0
Everything perfect. We were very comfortable to stay and perfect location. Definitely we will come back here when we travel to France.
Nothing, but only stairs was little steep.
