Excellent Base.
Amazing place. Spread over a very large area with small individual appartments, very clean and comfortable and private. Parking at the appartments could be enlarged or redesigned to have cars at the appartments instead of at the end of the road which meant you go wet if it was raining. Also a bit of a walk to the main hotel for meals. Excellent base for exploring the Loire area.

This is a budget hotel so expectations were low but this was not a pleasant place to stay. They had our booking wrong when we arrived though they did sort this out for us fairly swiftly. The rooms are sparse, there were unpleasant smells in apartment rooms, missing light bulbs and poor amenities. You can hear people in the rooms next door. The communal areas were dated and uninviting. Thankfully we were just using it for an overnight stay and we left without risking breakfast.

Will NEVER stay here again!
We will never stay here again: they charge an insane daily rate on top of the price and the service we received was not compensatory for this fee. The “apartments” did not have Wi-Fi (even though the booking said it did), but worst of all there is no air conditioning and it was so hot!! We had to leave the windows open and there were no screens so bugs kept getting in. It was a battle between sweating to the point where we cannot sleep or get eaten by bugs. Also there was no air dryer, shampoo or toiletries in the bathroom and there was not a telephone in the room to call the front desk either which is crazy given you have to walk a quarter to get to the “apartments. We also ate at the restaurant which had terrible food and incredibly slow and poor service. Save your money if you can - go anywhere but here!

The rooms are spacious and kitchen is outfitted nicely. HOWEVER, we checked in on the hottest day on record and no air conditioning and the fan they graciously provided was so small it didn’t move much air. Whole family was up past midnight until it started to cool down. Also, there is no internet Wifi to speak of. From our building, one of the closest to the lobby, the WiFi signal would come and go AND when it was connected the data rate was throttled down so much only simple text messages could be sent. Pictures timed out after 30 minutes. I will not go back and would not recommend. Nothing wrong with the staff, they were nice and as helpful as could be. The infrastructure is lacking.

Clean room. Early check in would be better as travelled over night. quiet as end of season. Good food and friendly staff.information to buy coffee and filters for the machine would have been helpful.nice touch to order pastry but not explained to collect from reception . We thought it would be at the door so we waited in the room. Lovely meal every evening and now was great we loved it and buffet choice on two nights.

DESPERATION VILLIAGE
Very disappointing experience. These things are negatives: 1. WIFI. Very unreliable. We had to tether to our phones and use our data the whole stay. Management was VERY unhelpful. Basically, "come to the lobby". Here is the thing, the lobby with almost no outlets to plug in. Noisy. Hot. 2. SECURITY. The units are not air conditioned and each has entrances and windows that open to the outside. If they are open, anyone can walk in. No security for the grounds either, anyone can drive in. 3. ATMOSPHERE. This place looks like a failed adventure from 2008 where the investors were fooled by a bad idea. The remnants were picked up by a hotel operator who brought the rooms to code for occupancy, but never finished the rest of the plans. I feel like I am in a scene from a dystopian movie where we live in a camp. No living lawn. No landscaping. Dirt walks to the units. Weeds un-noticed and un-kept. 4. POOL. It looks relaxing in the photos but is WAY undersized. Imagine a bath with 50 of your closets friends.

Villa Amboise one night stay
Only stayed one night but would return. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was self catering chalets rather than a hotel with a bar and restaurant on site where you could pay for breakfast if wanted. There was a bouncy castle, football goals and table tennis set up outside, as well as the outdoor pool which was welcome in the heat! Chalets were spacious and well laid out for the 5 of us. Sofa’s were a bit old and not very comfortable but beds were comfortable. There was a singer performing outside at the bar on the evening. Only issue we had was that night the restaurant only had a set price BBQ on offer which was costly for us so we ended up at a McDonalds which was a little disappointing for us. We were happy with the resort apart from that and we would return.

Good value for money.
The Villa Bellagio was great value for money. The apartment was quite large, clean and comfortable. The resort has the potential to be luxurious but is lacking in maintenance and the grounds and exterior of the buildings are quite untidy and run down. The entrance to our building was quite smelly but inside the apartment was fine. The apartment met our needs very well for our 2 night stay.

Apartment fine but tired and so is the hotel in general.Not really cared for. Very noisy with children. Reception staff very nice and helpful. No ENGLISH T.V PROGRAMMES at all for the week we were there and there is nothing to do unless you drive into Amboise or spend money on food. There is table tennis. Our apartment smelt of babies soiled nappies which never went away. If you plan on looking at chateaux they are expensive and so is the food so take a picnic

Our stay
A beautiful quiet spot for a few day away. Very good value for money. The villas are really well set out with plenty of space and a little balcony . Whilst the villa was clean in the main areas, cupboards etc could have done with a clean. The outside area was pretty but more could be done to improve . The wifi didn't work during our stay for more than a few minutes which was a shame. Local area was nice, shops within a 5 /10 minute drive. Overall we really enjoyed staying here , Nice quiet and relaxing couple of days.... however at the end of our stay we had a mix up with late check out, we paid the taxes and were told the day before that it was ok at reception. After being asked to leave on checkout day a few times and explaining we were told late check out was ok, we had to leave and when I handed in the key at reception was greeted by an extremely rude lady , we apologised for any confusion and explained we paid the tax and whom the girl was I spoke with. she was very rude with no apology whatsoever . This really spoiled it for us as we had a lovely stay overall.

Nice hotel
Pleasant separate cottages per two families each. No place for two people, so my wife and I paid the same rate as our daughter's family of four. The restaurant is very slow, with overpriced small portions. We spent there almost two hours and left rather hungry.

Pleasant stay
Two night stop over for family of five. Reception nicely laid out and staff helpful, giving map to Amboise and other info. Apartment good size for us with 2 tv areas and kitchen equipped with pots and pans etc. (No cloths though). Slight smell by the entrance and would have been good if could have used balconies (these are a little tired looking to say the least). Supermarket not far and hotel has nice restaurant and bar (can also order bread and croissants the night before to pick up in the morning). Amboise is a lovely town and all the family really enjoyed Clos de Luce. Pool not the biggest but good to have and was also table tennis and a bouncy castle for younger ones.

nice and clean hotel. Spacious, good food, but no air conditioner. It was hot during our stay there. It was okay if we leave the windows and doors open since it was a little bit cold outside during the night, but we were afraid since there was not enough lighting in the premises.

Hotel seems geared for convention groups and new to area people planning to stay for few months.There was outdoor swimming pool.They have a main hotel but in back cottages with 4 units apiece.We were given the farthest from hotel cottage 800 meters away(need a car to get to)though whole areas closer seemed unoccupied.Spooky in a way.My husband left post first night so particularly eerie alone.The front door was extremely difficult to use.No instructions but did lift handle up and managed by various combo tries to open/shut.I really became locked inside so hand to go out by bedroom door on last day leaving.I told management so they could go back and secure.Yes there was a fine refrig.,stove and coffee maker but no utensils or coffee cups:just a few cereal bowls and glasses.No hair dryer

Very comfortable apartment
We stayed in a self contained apartment. It was spotless and had a daily cleaning service. Bed was comfortable . Facilities were good and everything was in good working order. We were able to park beside our apartment. Staff in hotel building were both helpful and friendly and we had no problems with language - we speak a little French, they spoke quite good English. Area could do with some landscaping to make it look slightly less stark. We would certainly return. Very good value for money

Perfect for family vacation
I ordered two double and 1 sofa room for 5/6 people, one night. We actually live in a two-family house. It has two floors, a living room, kitchen and toilet on the first floor, two bedrooms, toilet and shower on the second floor. Breakfast is great, worth the money. The kitchen has plates, pots and pans, cups and glasses, toaster, knife, etc. It has everything you need for cooking, no need to bring anything besides food and seasoning. I would love to spend some more days here for another time.

Hotel outside Amboise, but well located
This hotel does not have air conditioning, even if it calls itself a resort. They gave us a fan, which was not enough. It's a property consisting of small houses with 4 apartments in each. Well stacked with dishes, cups, knives etc. Not heated pool.

Hotel is good for a stop over. Complex is very big and spread out meaning the car park could be pretty far away from your room. We mov rumour car to outside our 'block' even though you're not supposed to. Outside of the block needs painting and is tired, the room interior is better than our previous stop over and is clean and comfortable.

Nice hotel in Amboise
We stayed in this hotel for two nights. It is located in a nice and quiet area not too far from Amboise centre area. If you don't have a car, it is OK to arrange a taxi to get around. The taxi services we received were wonderful. We had a taxi arrived at 6 am on time to drive us to the train station.

Nice location but smelly
The hotel is positioned out of town in a forest but it is easy to drive into Amboise. The hotel is made up of blocks of four living accommodations and contained a small kitchen. The entrance to our room had a strong sewerage smell. The bed was extremely comfortable. We were charged 12 € each for breakfast, which was nowhere near as good as the hotels in Pau and Saumur. We were also told that we could not take our dog into the breakfast area even though it was a pet friendly hotel.

Lots of space but ill equipped
In spite of getting a spacious clean apartment with two full rooms and 1 1/2 baths, living room and kitchen the place did not work right. There was no A/C. The parking lot was far from the units and had to drag the suitcases in sandy peebles. A suggestion to drive up to the unit to drop suitcases was not mention, even though we saw others doing it after the fact. The bathroom tub cover- a piece of plywood- kept falling off. They provided plenty, clean good towels. There were no cover sheets in bed. Only fitted sheets and comforter. We stripped the duvet of the comforter and used it as sheet as it was hot. Location was far from center of town for walking, but driving was fine.

Ants and Other Uninvited Guests
A strange hotel that's both falling apart and being built at the same time. Our unit sat about 1/4 of a mile from the main building along a narrow road with deep ditches on either side -- drive carefully! The suite was sweltering and stale, and home to several hundred very friendly ants. They seemed to live in a crack in the poorly-built countertop. Perhaps they knew who killed the enormous flying insect smeared on the window at the top of the stairs, but I couldn't get them to talk. The Villa is a dump. Move along and find something nicer -- something cleaner.

Quadreplexes in the country.
More like a small quadreplex complex than a hotel. Front desk is no help. They tell you that you need to lug your bags a half mile to your room, when in fact, you can drive to the room. Very odd layout. You are in the middle of the country. 7 minute drive to Amboise. Good things are it was quiet, new and big breakfast area. Very few tenants when we were there.

good for family trip
The hotel is far away from the city center and there is no bus around. It is better if you have a car; otherwise, you have to walk for like 30 to 40 minutes to the city center (it is a nice walk still). It costs around 15 euros from train station to the hotel by taxi. When I first go into my room; the floor is not very clean and there were hairs in the tubs. The room is big and do have kitchen so it is good for family trip. The staff is very nice and helpful. The hotel does offer bike renting but it normally run out after noon; and the hotel allow you to make a reservation with taxi but make sure you do it in a day advance.

What a strange place!
What a strange place! Our apartment was clean and comfortable and a good 5minute walk from reception. It couldn't have been further away. The other reviewers have said many of the things we would like to say. The kitchen was well set out, but totally useless as there were no pots, pans, cutlery etc. not even a kettle. The internet was useless even in the reception area. It is highly unlikely that we would stay there again. The staff were friendly, but, unhelpful. Amboise is a lovely town, with an interesting Chateau and Clos Luce (Da Vinci's) museum to visit. It's a good central location for a cultural tour.

Ideal if traveling by car
We have stayed in a 2-bedroom apartment in the end of September 2014 for 1 night to see the 2 castles: Chateau Abmoise ( 5 km from hotel) and Chateau de Chenonceau (11 km from hotel). The property met our best expectations. It is built as a group of townhouses with bedrooms upstairs and family room/kitchen/bathroom on the ground floor. Beds were comfortable, space adequate, plenty of utensils and kitchen equipment, friendly staff. Good water stream, stable Wi-Fi. The only little thing we found missing was the fan in the bathroom to defog the mirror for shaving after shower. The place is ideal if you have a vehicle, so you could reach any place in the vicinity without paying a fortune. They have free parking. The walking paths are covered with sand so we got lot of yellow stuff inside our car when leaving.
