About this property
A 10-minute walk from Amboise Castle, this bed and breakfast is set in an original, 15th-century quarry and is carved out of the rock. It features a heated swimming pool in a traditional, underground cave. You can browse the free Wi-Fi or admire the Loire Valley from the garden. The rooms at Chambres d'Hôtes Troglodytes Le Clos de L'Hermitage have exposed-stone walls and parquet flooring. Each one is decorated in a contemporary style and some have a spa bath or hydro-massage shower. A continental breakfast is served every morning in the B&B’s breakfast room. During the warmer months, you can enjoy the terrace and admire the flowered garden. Free public parking is available on site. Château de Chenonceau is 16 km away and just a 15-minute drive to Château de Loches.
