We (two families w/ kids ranging in age from 7-12) stayed in the duplex (the two rooms connected by a turret). The turret was tons of fun for the kids and allowed us to run around in our PJs and visit with each other. We accidentally caught a wine fair while we were there (by the way, we had no problem bringing back 2 cases of wine - we just declared it on the customs form and when going thru in Houston they took a look at us and the kids and waved us on) and we were serenaded at the hotel every night by an orchestra playing at the festival. In all, we loved Amboise and this sweet hotel. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were large, the pool was a little chilly (but it didn't stop the kids from jumping in) the staff was knowledgeable about the area and helped us select restaurants -- overall it was an enjoyable stay.
