Villa Bellagio Amboise

“A simple place well situated with availability”

I had friends visiting last week and we decided last minute to go down to the Loire Valley during this past holiday weekend. EVERYTHING was fully booked. All hotels, bed and breakfasts, chateaux, etc... I finally stumbled onto this vacation residence and they had an apartment so we grabbed it. Now, it was well located, a 5 minute drive from Amboise which is one of the nicest towns in the Loire valley, so thumbs up. The actual apartment was spacious and very quiet, and lived up to expectations. good value for money and comfortable. NOT charming at all like some of the Loire places can be, but that's the trade off. The staff were friendly too...

“Make ure you book a unit with pots and pans”

I booked one night for a transit stop in the region. The unit itself was well decorated and furnished to NA standards. However, we were shocked to find out the kitchen cabinets were empty - no pots and pans, no plates, no glass, no silverware. When I asked the front desk, I was told that I had b… more

I booked one night for a transit stop in the region. The unit itself was well decorated and furnished to NA standards. However, we were shocked to find out the kitchen cabinets were empty - no pots and pans, no plates, no glass, no silverware. When I asked the front desk, I was told that I had booked a unit without these supplies. I had to pay 30 Euro extra for one that had, and had to move to another unit. Even though it was still worthwhile to pay the extra (it was almost a must, since you are in the middle of a wilderness, where prepared food is not a walk away), it was the surprise and inconvenience that I did not appreciate.

“Back again, for a bargain overnighter”

We use this hotel for a good value overnight stop, on our way to the South West of France. This year we paid under £80 per night for a lovely big apartment for a family of four. The landscaping is pretty bare around the apartments, hence the low price. But the rooms themselves are spacious, clean a… more

We use this hotel for a good value overnight stop, on our way to the South West of France. This year we paid under £80 per night for a lovely big apartment for a family of four. The landscaping is pretty bare around the apartments, hence the low price. But the rooms themselves are spacious, clean and airy. We found the beds very comfortable, and could open the windows on a hot night. They have small kitchenettes with a microwave oven & fridge , but my advice is to take your own crockery and cutlery, as its non existent! My children enjoyed using the small onsite swimming pool, and my husband found that the service was good in the bar. There was one particular chap on reception who was charming (wish I had noted his name!)
