Booking a bed and breakfast in Amboise means choosing to stay just a few minutes’ drive from the most beautiful châteaux of the Loire Valley, in a region where life moves at a leisurely pace. At the Château de la Huberdière, you’re not just staying in one of many hotel rooms: you’re staying in a family home, with its enclosed grounds, its table d’hôtes and the tranquillity of the Touraine countryside.

The château is situated in Nazelles-Négron, just across the Loire from Amboise. You’re just ten minutes from the Clos Lucé and the royal château, yet already far removed from the hustle and bustle.

A charming bed and breakfast just a stone’s throw from Amboise

Our guest rooms in Amboise capture the spirit of the place: with their original wooden floors, high ceilings and views of the park or the hillsides. Each room has its own character; no two are alike. You’ll sleep soundly here, with the windows open to the tranquillity of the surroundings.

Breakfast is served with local produce, pastries, homemade jams and seasonal fruit. It’s the perfect time to plan your day and discuss the must-see attractions.

To view the rooms and their rates, full details can be found on the Stay at the Château page.

The château, between Amboise and the Loire Valley

La Huberdière is a 15th-century private estate, set within a walled park filled with trees. Here, you can hear the birds, not the road. This is exactly what people come looking for in a bed and breakfast in Touraine: an authentic, lived-in place, far removed from standardised accommodation.

It’s the perfect base for exploring the area. Amboise and its market, the vineyards of Vouvray and Montlouis, the troglodyte villages – everything is just a few minutes’ drive away.

A home-cooked meal

In the evenings, by prior booking, I prepare a table d’hôtes using produce from the market and the vegetable garden. As an Italian by birth, I enjoy blending the cuisine of the Touraine region with that of my childhood. We dine together, around a single table, and the conversations often go on late into the night.

It’s a different way of travelling: meeting the people who run the place, sampling home-cooked food, and leaving with a recommendation rather than an anonymous booking.
