This hotel is south of Amboise, but is in a GREAT location to visit several of the best Chateau's in France! It is a great value for the price and the service is super friendly, attentive, and caring about their hotel guests. It does require an 8 minute drive to get to the shops and restaurants in Amboise for the evening, and there is not much around it but wonderful open land. The hotel is casual, but they have a nice pool, an enjoyable sitting area where you can get some of the best coffee in France, and a playground area for kids. The rooms are very clean, functional, pleasantly decorated, and we enjoyed the small balcony to sip wine on at night. All in all, a great choice for chateau travel.
