We found Amboise an excellent base for visiting the
Loire, and the Loceys' cottage, both atmospheric and
practical, was a delightful choice for 3 weeks in May
and June. Our sons and their wives joined us for a
week each and we all enjoyed the profusion of roses,
irises, poppies and (toward the end) the cherry tree!

My husband and I and our two grown sons had a
wonderful time visiting the Loire Valley while
staying at Le Clos. We found the cottage to be
comfortable, charming, and well appointed. Pascal
and Pascale were very helpful and personable as
well. We hope to be able to return for a longer stay
sometime.

Our family had a wonderful rural France adventure courtesy of Michael and Lenita's lovely villa. It was everything I'd hoped and dreamt about. After 7 years in Europe in the service my family and I longed to once again enjoy Europe. France was never so lovely; the Loire valley never more beautiful, and all via the quaint cottage perched upon a hill in a small little village full of charm. Go and you will not want to leave...we didn't.

Hello Michael and Lenita,
Your home is so charming that we fell in love with it and are planning on returning for a longer stay in the near future. Even though it was getting a bit late in the season and it was cool enough that we needed the heat inside, we had wonderful weather during our week at "Le Clos". We enjoyed revisiting all the wonderful places that we enjoyed while we lived in Touraine, and adding some we did not know. Amboise is lovely and we certainly have not exhausted its charm! It was a pleasure to cook in your wonderful kitchen, but we also enjoyed some of the restaurants you recommended, especially "Le Cheval Blanc". Your neighbors, Pascal and Pascale were very helpful.
We loved Touraine when we lived there, and we loved it when we stayed at "Le Clos". We shall return!
Fondly

Hello Lenita and Michael,
I hope you are having a wonderful time in Amboise. We had a wonderful, amazing time in Amboise. The stay at the house was just perfect. I managed to drive a stick shift out of the house up the hill (I re-learned 1 week before the trip). You really have a beautiful house. We made few friends at the open air market, whom we promised to send pictures to. The bakery that you recommended was phenomenal. We tried "Dame Blanche" and also the chocolate one. Just fabulous! We bicycled to Chambord, Chenonceau, Villandry and Azay-le-Rideau. The weather was nice and really warmed up toward the end of the week. The town of Amboise was just perfect, small but not too small. People in town have been wonderful, too. We would love to come back. We are waiting the announcement of Tour schedule later this week to see if they will go infront of the house. Thank you so much and have a wonderful rest of your fall in Amboise.

Michael & Lenita,
We could have not asked for a more delightful way to start our honeymoon! Le Clos is a credit to you both and it really feels like a home. We loved bein g able to experience Amboise and the Loire from this delightful base. Pascal & Pascale(caretakers) could not have been more helpful or welcoming. Your warmth and detailed suggestions about the 'things to do' and where to eat etc were invaluable. A return visit...well we can always dream.

Being woken up each morning by the songs of the birds, late afternoon tea under the rose arbour, dinner on the patio, watching the sunsets at night, every day of our stay at Le Clos was delightful - our home away from home! We found Amboise to be the perfect place to be situated as the village offered us everything we needed to live the life for a week and was central to the chateaux that we visited - Chateau Villandry is a must.
We enjoyed several great evenings at the Epicerie in Amboise and would highly recommend their foie gras and the tarte Tatin. Our time in Amboise was made memorable by the French people that we met - in some cases they wanted to practice their English and we were trying to use our French - made for some laughs! Le Clos was a highlight of our time in the Loire and we look forward to perhaps returning one day.
