We spent a month-long working vacation in France, and one of our stops is the Loire Valley. Chatel Rose is the perfect place for us to explore the chateaux and wines in the region during the day and work in the evenings. The apartment is beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and the well-appointed kitchen has everything. The restaurants are close by, not far from the city center, and the River Loire is a block away which makes for nice after dinner strolls. Our host Rosemary is very gracious and helpful, making our stay thoroughly enjoyable.
Perfect location in historic center. Nicely furnished studio apartment. We were concerned about parking, but it was not a problem at all. Easy Check in and check out. Rosemary is a wonderful host. We ask for about suggestions for dinner and she made the reservation for us Donât miss the street market on Saturday!
Wir haben uns im Juni 2025 fĂŒr eine Woche Schlösser, StĂ€dte und WeingĂŒter der Loire angeschaut. Perfekte Ausgangsbasis war das Appartement von Rosemary in der Altstadt von Blois. Super sauber, ebenerdig, auch bei groĂer Hitze (wir hatten in der Woche bis zu 37 Grad) durch das dicke Mauerwerk kĂŒhl, wenn man die Fenster und FensterlĂ€den rechtzeitig schlieĂt. Das Appartement ist gut ausgestattet - kochen wĂŒrde auf zwei Platten gehen, aber bei dem fuĂlĂ€ufig quasi unmittelbar erreichbaren und sehr umfangreichen und vielfĂ€ltigen Restaurantangebot ist das nicht nötig. Rosemary stellt umfangreiches Infomaterial im Appartement und durch persönliche Tipps zur VerfĂŒgung und ist stets bei Problemen ereichbar. So hatten wir am ersten Tag kein Internet, wobei das Problem flĂ€chendeckend beim Anbieter lag - aber sie hat sich gekĂŒmmert und informiert. Nach der Störung war es dank Glasfaser absolut perfekt. Kurz: wer in Richtung Orleans oder Richtung Tours die Loire erkunden möchte ist bei Rosemary perfekt aufgehoben. Dorothee und Stefan
Rosemary was the perfect host with prompt replies and excellent ideas. The apartment had everything you required when travelling around including a local Chateau wine on arrival. Close to restaurants and chateaus it was the perfect location. Beautiful quiet cobblestone street.
We had a wonderful stay; loved the location and apartment was just right for us-would not hesitate to stay here again; it was nice that it was on the ground floor and off of a quaint street a short walk to everything; parking seemed a little bit intimidating at first, but we never had a problem finding space in the free parking by the river; it really was lovely!
This appartment has been lovingly furnished and decorated in keeping with the medieval setting of the building. It was spotlessly clean, with a comfortable bed and a good shower. There is a great choice of restaurants within a few minutes walk but if you wish to cook for yourself the kitchen area has a combination microwave and a halogen hob. Every utensil you could need is provided along with a range of lovely crockery, a good sized fridge, a dishwasher and a coffee machine. There is also a shared outside space in the secret garden in the shelter of the cathedral. Communication with the owner, Rosemary, was very good and she provides lots of information on places to visit. As well as walking along the beautiful River Loire we really enjoyed our visits to Blois and Chambord Chateaux, the Cathedral, the Basilica and St Nicholas' church. The house of magic with its six headed dragon and magic shows is also not to be missed.
The apartment was just as advertised - located on an old street near the heart of Blois. Everything was within easy walking distance. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Rosemary was super helpful and responsive. Check-in and check-out was easy.
Quality apartment with many amenities in historic Blois
Romantic apartment (high ceilings, chandelier, casement widows with shutters, bath robes, quality linen, very comfortable king size bed) with all that you need for a good holiday - Nespresso machine, washing machine/dryer, dishwasher, well appointed kitchen, wifi. Owner went out of her way to make sure that our stay was enjoyable and her recommendations for dining and sightseeing were invaluable and reflected her intimate knowledge of this historic city and the Loire Valley more generally. We felt safe and indulged. We would highly recommend.
The apartment was beautiful and well appointed. It is a studio apartment that comfortably sleeps two. The location was perfect - lots of shops and restaurants very close by. The buildings are very old and quite picturesque. Rosemary was a just delightful host. Very responsive and offered helpful suggestions (the Saturday farmers market was wonderful).
I would definitely stay again!
