In planning for a family holiday, the first in many years we had settled on the Lake Annecy area as it provided everything we needed for a large group. The lake, the mountains as a backdrop and the City of Annecy to explore. We wanted to find somewhere with spacious accommodation for adults and children alike, with a secure garden, magnificent views, and a pool to cool off after a hectic day. The villa was amazing and provided everything we needed for a relaxing, chilled out stay, with local shops nearby providing everything we needed. The local villages had plenty of restaurants and cafes, although it is advisable to book. Local buses were easy to use, providing free travel around the lake during July and August The host provided full instructions and answered any questions in a very friendly and professional manner and the family would wholeheartedly recommend staying there.
