Central Parc Tours

I had a fabulous 5-night stay at Central Parc Tours. Everything was excellent. Info for check-in (entrance code, key retrieval) was well-detailed in both English and French. The apartment that I rented (Tilleul Argente) is perfect for solo travelers. The suite was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the modern amenities (fridge, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine) were all handy. The view from the windows into Jardin des Prebendes was spectacular. Location was great. The building is in a quiet residential area but is only a 15-minute walk to either Vieux Tours or the train station. There are also a few bus stops nearby (#s 2 and 10 at Boisdenier/Grammont and #4 at Duplessis). Supermarkets, boulangeries, shops, and a few restaurants are within walking distance as well.

I spent five nights in the Silver Linden studio apartment and loved it. The Central Parc and the apartment surpassed my expectations - and I am quite particular about accommodations. The apartment was extremely clean and comfortable, and was decorated with thoughtfulness and style. The kitchen was very well-equipped with everything you need to prepare meals at home - there was even a salad spinner and bottled water. The bathroom was spacious and luxurious. The apartment has very large windows that overlook a beautiful and tranquil park. The air conditioning worked brilliantly, which was very appreciated during a July heatwave. The Central Parc is in a lovely historic mansion and employs very helpful staff members to assist guests with check in, check out, etc., during the day. The Central Parc is an easy 10 minute walk to Tours' charming historic center. There is also plentiful street parking, making it a very convenient home base for touring the Loire Valley. I'm looking forward to making a return visit!
