Una esperienza che consiglio a tutti
Pros:

Ci siamo sentiti davvero coccolati.
Ci hanno sempre servito un'ottima colazione.
In bagno erano presenti accappatoi (bellissimi) e prodotti per lavarsi della Nuxe (davvero molto graditi).
Un pomeriggio siamo arrivati in hotel oltre le 14:00 e non avevamo mangiato: ci hanno subito preparato un vassoio pieno di leccornie che abbiamo consumato nel loro giardino interno sorseggiando un calice di vino.
Non era abbastanza caldo per fare il bagno, altrimenti avremmo approfittato della loro piscina.
Vicino all'hotel ci sono due parcheggi gratuiti.
Si trova molto vicino al Castello di Amboise, ci siamo arrivati tranquillamente a piedi.
Lo staff è stato sempre cordiale e gentilissimo.
Davvero consigliato.

Very pleasant stay overall.
Pros:

Very charming with modern facilities.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit underwhelming. Scrambled eggs were there but bacon all gone.
Could have asked for more I expect but time was tight.

We very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel
Pros:

Breakfast was fresh and plentiful, location was walking distance to many restaurants, shops and castle.
The staff was always available and housekeeping was efficient
The pool area was clean with plenty of towels and the water was warm
Also the staff all spoke English which helped us greatly!

Cons:

The scrambled eggs and bacon need to be kept warmer and the room needed some small washcloth sized towels and bar soap

We would definitely return and maybe request a slightly larger room.
Pros:

Lovely central setting. A little difficult to find the carpark. We should have asked for directions beforehand when we booked the parking space.
Greta pool amd a lovely breakfast area in the garden. Also a 5 minute stroll to the centre of town.

Cons:

The room was a little small and quite expensive, but I guess that's what you pay for, for a nice hotel in the centre of town. Other than that and finding the carpark, everything was great.
