Le Clos Allegria: a cosy lodge with all the amenities
Looking for a lively, family holiday in the heart of Amboise, we packed our bags and headed for Le Clos Allegria, a cosy lodge offering up relaxation and a change of scenery as soon as we arrived!
The history of Le Clos Allegria
This lodge embodies the captivating story of Valérie and Didier, who have been offering year-round rentals since November 2022. Incidentally, Le Clos Allegria was once a Post and Telecoms (PTT) relay station, equipped with a basement housing a warehouse and an apartment on the first floor. They have transformed it into a real haven of peace for their guests, to be enjoyed in all seasons! Together, and working with local professionals, they have reimagined the inside of this house. For example, with a magnificent tailor-made staircase made from wood and forged iron. The result: somewhere we could feel at home from the moment we arrived!
Le Clos Allegria can comfortably welcome families of up to 7 people. Equipped with 3 cosy rooms, a cot can also be set up. What’s more, it offers two modern bathrooms. The fully equipped kitchen and inviting living spaces complete the experience.
What enchanted us in this charming little nest
After a quick 5-minute walk from our train, we were already inside our lodge. As soon as we arrived, we were charmed by the calm of the neighbourhood in which Valérie and Didier’s lodge stands. After picking up the keys, we set about discovering Le Clos Allegria. We explored each of its rooms and outdoor spaces with great curiosity. Like little children, we argued over who would get the room with the best view of the Château d’Amboise.
Once we finished settling in, we relaxed in the lounge – a welcoming and cosy room – with a little aperitif. Then, we continued our discussions on the terrace, under the mild springtime sun. A game of table football got us all laughing.
What really won us over were the little details Valérie and Didier ensured for their guests. For children, they supplied a host of toys and books, while toiletries for the whole family were provided for the first night. What’s more, thanks to the carefully prepared welcome booklet, we discovered a great range of activities to enjoy during our stay …
The little added extras of choosing Le Clos Allegria
Opting to stay at Le Clos Allegria means offering yourself a relaxing break with family or friends, in a lodge that is both modern and elegant. Amboise stands out for its wealth of tourist attractions, drawing its strength from its diversity. The Val d’Amboise is packed full of historical and cultural heritage, between majestic castles and outdoor activities, offering the promise of some unforgettable memories.
This warm and cosy lodge enjoys an ideal location, near the train station and city centre, making your arrival and departure as simple as possible. What’s more, for those who like to pack everything but the kitchen sink, practical storage spaces are provided, for a comfortable stay.
Our favourite was the ground floor living room, flooded with natural light and offering an ideal setting in which to fully soak up the sun. We were also touched by the moving story of the two Louis XIII armchairs, carefully restored, which once belonged to Didier’s grandmother. The two refined bathrooms also held our attention, promising moments of absolute relaxation. Finally, Le Clos Allegria’s spacious kitchen and dining room invited us to prepare lively, hearty meals.
Committed to a responsible and eco-friendly approach, Valérie and Didier pay particular attention to energy savings and everyday actions to help protect our planet.
