Charming, historic apartment

We enjoyed our stay in this charming apartment. It was in a separate building from the main house - both historic buildings. There is private, off-the-street parking. The hostess was friendly and easy to communicate with and even offered to make a dinner reservation for us. The location was close to the Amboise and the chateaus we wished to visit.

Beautiful and historic accommodations in a charming small town

We enjoyed our recent stay at La Belvedere. A short walk from town and a close drive to the chateau in Chenonceau and Amboise. Our room was perfectly appointed with a comfortable bed and comfortable living space. We traveled with another couple who expressed the same. Our room had a private bathroom attached. Our host Dominique was very accommodating! Upon our arrival, she walked me into town to show me where we could find a glass of wine and charcuterie, as well as a shop for bike rental. We really appreciated the time she took to do that and the time to help us return a car rental and book a train that would work with our schedule. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning with coffee and homemade yogurt. Such a special stay! Pack lightly. The curved stair case could be challenging to those (like us) with heavy luggage. Dominique’s recommendations for dinner at Au tableau in Blere and Chez Bruno in Amboise was spot on!

Beautiful, authentic, historic property! Perfect for those who appreciate the historic setting!

This is a charming property with amazing outdoor space, comfortable rooms, private bathrooms, and an amazing historic authenticity. Breakfast is terrific, and the proprietor is quite knowledgeable about the region. If you prefer modern conveniences like air conditioning and TV, this is maybe not for you, but if you want to really connect with the old world charms of the Loire, this property is outstanding.

Superb B&B, superb hostess, superb location for exploring the beautiful Loire.

The B&B is situated in a quaint town just a few minutes drive from Amboise, an ideal location for exploring the awesome chateaus and landscape of the Loire Valley. The B&B is a beautiful historic manor and the gardens and courtyard are wonderful. Dominique and Jean-Richard are teriffic hosts and offered great suggestions, brocheurs, etc. on attractions, restaurants and travel tips. Our suite was spacious and very clean, and the breakfasts were delicious. We would highly recommend B&B Belvedere as a base retreat for enjoying the Loire.

Why they chose this property

It's a family house bought in 1958 by J.R.'s mother; she moved from Paris and so did we in 1990. Then I renovated the place and it's been a B&B for 21 years!
