We came with 4 adults and 4 pre-teens and had such a fantastic stay! The location is literally PERFECT and we fell in love with Amboise. This is the perfect location to travel the Loire Valley and still get back to home base and have a delicious dinner in The town of Amboise when you get back. The hosts were beyond helpful, the place is spotless and a dream to stay in. We hope to one day come back!

The perfect stay! As we drove through the gates, we had an amazing view of the castle from the large garden and were so warmly welcomed by the hosts Monique and Pierre-Jean. The house is very spacious with everything you would need as a home away from home. The location is fantastic, walking distance to everything (restaurants, bakery, river, cycling and the castle) in Amboise and at the same time incredibly quiet. We hope to return again to this beautiful property and perfect hosts. Merci!

A beautiful place to stay, tranquil yet right in the centre of Amboise. Monique and Jean Pierre were the perfect hosts, warm and welcoming but discreet. We would love to come back one day. Merci beaucoup pour un super sejour!

As first time visitors to France, we were really hoping for the "c'est parfait" experience and Le Clos Richelieu absolutely delivered! If you are vacillating between a countryside rental and Le Clos Richelieu, you will not regret staying here. The home is a true French classic, well maintained with modern amenities. It is in a fairytale setting overlooking the Amboise Chateau. The gardens are welcoming and quiet and a magnificent Sequoia tree is the centerpiece. In addition, there is the perk of on site parking. Le Clos Richelieu is within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the Sunday Farmers Market. PJ and Monique are wonderful hosts. They are gracious, kind and fun. Definitely a memorable experience and we were sad to leave and hope to return one day.

This house is amazing - the house is well equipped, clean, comfortable, with a beautiful yard and tons of space. The hosts are unbelievably kind, helpful, thoughtful, and friendly. The house was just perfect for our family - we have two young boys and they loved the yard and the rope swing. The location was perfect for visiting the cute downtown, going to the grocery store, or visiting either of the two castles in town. The house was very clean, and had everything you could need. The hosts clearly put a lot of thought and care into their property and it shows. I totally recommend this place, if you're looking for a place to stay in Amboise, stop looking and book this place. We will totally return if we have the chance in the future.
5.0 / 5.0
First off, we like our privacy on vacation and typically avoid places where the owners live on the premises- but PJ and Monique were warm to greet us and then left us alone. Communication was great with them.
The yard was our favorite part of the house- big and well tended, with an awesome view of the Chateau d’ Amboise literally right there! Plus they have a beautiful giant sequoia in their yard as well. It made for a great place to have coffee, aperitif, or casual dinner outside.
The house is modest- simple kitchen and living room- but clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. It was also great to park our car right there, which is not always the case!
The town of Amboise is just a 5 minute walk.

Located on a large property in the heart of downtown Amboise. Short walk to restaurants and sites. The house is beautiful and has everything you would want for a holiday home. The Hosts- Monique and Jean-Pierre could not have been more welcoming.

Where do we begin!?!! The experience was the best we’ve ever had on VRBO! Monique and Pierre-Jean were delightful, as well as, helpful at every turn. They recommended restaurants, best chateaus, balloon rides, etc, and gladly made reservations for us!!
Our accommodations were clean, beautifully decorated and spacious! The pictures on VRBO did not do it justice.
As we departed we felt as though we were leaving dear friends!!

We rented this wonderful home for a short stay while touring the Loire Valley chateaus. Honestly we weren’t there nearly long enough!!
We had great communication prior to arrival with the hosts who lived on property, and were greeted and given a tour of the home as soon as we pulled in.
Everything in the house was perfectly clean, as described in the listing. Photos don’t do the home justice to how charming it is!
The house had plenty of room for our family of 4 to spread out, we never ran out of hot water, and the air conditioning was great on hot days!
We went down to the large Sunday market in town and the kitchen had everything we could need to cook a large dinner!
I really can’t say enough wonderful things about this house, the location (everything in town walkable and you can see the Castle from the yard). If we are ever in Amboise we will definitely stay here again!

Magical gem in Amboise
Perfect location, in walking distance from everything (including restaurants of renown), with a spacious private courtyard (and parking!) and beautiful decor. Best part: spying our little gîte from the château d’Amboise!

An absolutely fabulous property in the centre of Amboise
We had an amazing stay at Le Clos Richelieu, everything about the property was really lovely and was even better than expected. There was nothing we didn’t have. The property is in the centre of Amboise and the parking is a real bonus, you can walk into the town. The garden is beautiful, with shaded areas to sit, made even more perfect with a view of the castle.
The hosts, Monique and Pierre-Jean are the most helpful lovely people you could imagine.
We loved our stay in Amboise and would certainly recommend it to anybody. Thank you !

Simply wonderful!
A beautifully presented property with every need covered…updated to the highest standard while showcasing historical 17th century architectural elements...including thoughtful usable umbrellas for guests! The location cannot be beaten, right in the heart of Amboise with a view of the chateau…with a lovely garden and stream to enjoy under the giant Sycamore tree. Our hosts were wonderfully attentive and fun…and thank goodness for the air-con in the 40degree heat. Wish our stay could have been longer but definitely on the list to return to!

Elegant HIstoric Guest House with Modern Amenities
Three generations of family enjoyed the company of the most gracious hosts in our favorite home away from home yet. If you are looking for a true French character home with room for all, in a perfectly designed, well stocked gite with the most comfortable beds, this home should be your choice. We enjoyed lovely outdoor seating with views of the castle steps from our door while the children were able to explore on their own. We were provided with onsite parking with an electronic key fob for ease of getting in and out of the gated property. As such, we visited many Chateau during our short stay. Our only regret was that we didn't book a longer visit. Our host, Monique went out of her way to secure a wheelchair rental for me, as I had broken my foot the week before, and would not have been able to tour at all without it. She and her lovely Pierre Jean provided restaurant recommendations that suited us perfectly. Do not miss Les Arpents and Chez Bruno, and do not miss experiencing the finest of hospitality in all of our European travels!

Magnificent!
This is the most delightful venue I have experienced in my
40+ years of European travel. This is a charming, spacious house dating from the 1600’s, totally modernized, with anything you might need. When you step out you see the stunning view of Amboise Castle from your back yard. The estate is walled and has an with an electronic gate. It’s very safe and private. This sits across the property from the stunning mansion owned by the hosts, and the hosts are the finest thing about this stay. They were delightfully helpful with anything we needed, but not at all intrusive. They helped us find the take off point for our hot air balloon ride, took us to get gas when our cards were rejected, brought home made cookies. It was like staying next to THE most wonderful neighbors. Amboise is in the middle of the Loire Valley —
the perfect location for day trips to the various Chateaus. The town of Amboise has charming restaurants, unique shops and culinary stores. But it was the delightful, gracious hosts
that made this such an extraordinary, memorable visit to France. We will always be so grateful to them!

Agréable séjour en famille
La maison est idéalement située : proche du centre ville historique mais au calme.
Elle est meublée avec goût. Le jardin offre une très belle vue sur le château d’Amboise.
Les propriétaires sont charmants.

Beautiful home, awesome setting in middle of Amboise
This three bedroom home is right in the heart of Amboise. It is an easy 4-5 minute walk to the Amboise chateau, numerous restaurants and bakeries, grocery store. The private parking area is an unbelievable positive as parking spots are hard to find in the heart of the city. The home itself is extremely clean and well-maintained. The yard area is great with a perfect view of the chateau.
After all the above mentioned reasons to rent this home, you throw in the wonderful owners which just places this rental over the top. Monique and PJ were outstanding in providing us with information, answering all our questions and just spending time talking. These two people are just truly great hosts.

Perfect Amboise location
Excellent location very close to city center. Private car parking a definite plus. Excellent grounds for relaxing afternoons and evenings.. Would have been 5 stars if not for the WiFi not being functional for 2 of our 4 days.

Magical! House, location and hosts were perfect.
Our hosts were warm and welcoming. They helped with a change of plans and made life very easy. The location is truly magical. Close to everything and plenty of room for 5 young grandchildren to play safely. Our family of 11 had family meals in the large dining area. The giant Sequoia, castle views and hot air balloons were beyond beautiful. Our hosts helped with luggage problems and truly could not be kinder. We enjoyed our fairytale vacation. Clean, comfortable and convenient. Five plus stars.

Oasis in the center of town
Beautiful home with courtyard, walking distance from shops, restaurants and the castle. We ate dinner al fresco every night. Hosts were very friendly and generous - thank you for sharing your toys with our son! Kitchen was well equipped, beds comfortable, and added perks like washing machine and safe private parking tipped this listing over from good to excellent.

Beautiful home, exactly as shown in the pictures, very clean, plenty of space. Gorgeous back yard with a nice area for outdoor dining and a view of Amboise castle. The owners live on the premises but are very discreet and very helpful and courteous. Highly recommend this home and would definitely rent it again if we come to the Loire valley.Superbe!

Chez Garot
Seven of us, ranging in age from 5 to 71 had a magical time chez Garot! The house was beautifully and tastefully arranged with every contingency considered and taken care of. The location, near restaurants, stores. the castle, and da Vinci’s house couldn’t be better. Our hosts were friendly, unbelievably helpful and a lot of fun! We can’t wait to go back. Kate

Delightful house in Amboise
We stayed in this wonderful house for four nights with five adults and two children and had plenty of space. Location was perfect for walking to town, and there was parking on-site for our rented vehicle, which was a huge help! We loved the beautiful view, the peaceful yard, the convenient location. And the hosts were beyond gracious. We'd stay here again for sure!

Logement exceptionnel, aménagé avec goût, accueil chaleureux ! Parfait!
Nous avons passer 2 jours au Clos Richelieu pour visiter la région. La maison était le lieu rêvé pour une escapade dans l’histoire de la région avec nos enfants! Nous avons été extrêmement bien accueillis, par nos hôtes! Un grand merci! Nous avons tous adorés notre séjour et avons été conquis par le charme du lieu !
Le logement est impeccable. Nouvellement rénové, il a été aménagé avec goût et avec qualité. Il est parfaitement bien équipé, et la literie était particulièrement confortable.
L’emplacement en plein centre, permet de découvrir la ville à pied et est commode d’accès en voiture . Il est extrêmement calme, puisqu’il donne sur un beau jardin. Ce logement est idéal pour une famille, ou 2 couples avec enfants. Nous le conseillons chaudement !

Amazing Home Away from Home in Amboise!!
Our group thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home right in the heart of Amboise. It was perfect and the owners were so very kind, welcoming and helpful, they feel like life long friends. It was such a beautiful place and we so enjoyed the kitchen, family area and the outside sitting area. Even though you are in the middle of the little city of Amboise, it feels like a country chateau as the outdoor area is so well landscaped for privacy and relaxation but you are within walking distance from shopping, restaurants, the outdoor market and chateaus to explore such as Chateau de Amboise and Clos de Luce. We really hated to leave and will definitely be back!!!

Perfect stay in Amboise
We have just had a fabulous week in this beautiful house in Amboise. Monique and P-J have done a wonderful job of renovating the property, which is spacious and decorated with great taste and flair. The garden is large and an oasis of calm, with many seating areas for sun-lovers and those of us who prefer the shade. A small river runs through the garden and there are lovely views up to the chateau. The house is perfectly located, being less than a five minute stroll to the centre of the old town and the river and an easy drive to many castles and attractions such as Beauval Zoo, which is well worth a visit.
Monique and P-J are very welcoming and on hand if you need them, but also respect their guests' privacy. We all loved our stay at Clos Richelieu and cannot recommend it too highly.
