We found Thomas (owner) to be happy to assit and great on advice about the area. Aslo helps that he speaks fluent English. He is up early to cook the most superb breakfast of breads and pastries. This should not be missed. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. Our room fortunately
had air Also great to have internet access at the hotel free of charge. We will certainly return if we are back in Amboise. * * * |

"Home Away From Home"
July 18, 2005: robsher@xxxxx.xxx, New Orleans, LA: Le Blason Hotel in Amboise was a highlight of our trip to France. Only its prices are Moderate. Its new (2005) owners, Thomas and Agnes Yung, gave us a warm reception and insightful advice (in good English) about the area unmatched by any other place we had ever stayed at any price in the U.S., England, Germany, Spain, or France. They described things we might have missed-- the local street of shops (like Paris’ Rue Cler), a large Sunday morning market, a nearby Chateau’s International Gardening Show, the local bicycle race the night before the Tour de France came through town, and how to leave despite the crowds the day of the Tour. For our picnic on their patio, they chilled our wine and furnished utensils and a wine cooler. Parking is free on lots in front of the hotel, the next block, and an enclosed, partly covered area which is locked for the night. Thomas only offers breakfast, but he cooks the bread in the hotel each morning. Other meals are available in the excellent, reasonable L’Alliance Restaurant next door and other places in and near town. Le Cave aux Fouées on the outskirts of town was the best value, most atmospheric (in a troglodyte cave), and second best, moderately priced restaurant we found in France on his advice. Built in the 15th and 17th centuries, the hotel’s upper floors have half-timbered exteriors and exposed beam interior rooms. It is near Amboise’s churches, shops, Chateau, and Leonardo da Vinci’s Clos Lucé, but blocks from busy shopping streets. The rooms are larger than we had in Paris and some are air-conditioned. The lobby has free internet access. We found Le Blason in Amboise the ideal base for visiting Loire Valley Chateaux by car--centrally located with easy access to highways with none of the traffic congestion, run-down old section, or parking problems we had elsewhere–with a warm, homey welcome, small town feel each day as we returned from our valley drives or hikes around town. |

"Wondeful place"July 12, 2005: Middlesbrough, England We have stayed here in 2004 and 2005 and will go again in the future. It is ideally placed for the Loire, centrally located for local resturants and cafes and the owners give a very warm welcome. The car park is enclosed which is a major bonus with a small hotel. We have stayed in 4* hotels which are not as good as this one. You can also get free internet service there. The degustation outside the Chateau Amboise is very informative and as they speak excellent English the whole experience of sampling is good. Visit the Chateau, it's beautiful. * * * August 17, 2004: Miami Springs, Florida We booked this hotel three months out on the Internet without a problem. ----------------. Very well located a few blocks from the city centre. Inexpensive. Free parking nearby. From the outside it looks as if it should be in an English village. It's impeccably clean with small but adequate rooms. Narrow winding stairs. No elevator. For guests who will be out most of the day, it's perfect. Pleasant proprietor. Regular breakfast. One of our best meals in France at the Oceanis Restaurant close by. * * * |
