Pleasant place, but in a remote corner
We decided to try this Chalet for 2 nights while visiting Annecy. Somehow I expected it to be closer to the city--turned out to be a 40-minute drive each way. Looking back at the property description I see that they say the lake is 38 minutes away, so maybe I just missed this originally...? The building is beautiful, apparently custom-made to be a home with extra bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs for quests. The owners Christophe and Natalie were very nice to us and tried to be kind and helpful, but their limited English and our even more limited French made communication difficult. They were kind in allowing us to use dishes from their kitchen and the laundry facilities in the basement. The bedroom was nice with a lovely view. There was, though, a large heavy beam right over the bed, so you have to be careful not to whack yourself when getting up from the bed. Also, this is essentially their home and we almost felt like we were intruding in their home. There was a small room downstairs off of the kitchen where we were allowed to sit and eat--we didn't get to see the rest of the downstairs except to sit at the table for breakfast. The French couple who checked in a day after us, though, were invited in for conversation into the family's living room. The area is very remote and the nearest restaurants are 10-15 minutes away, so be prepared for a drive or bring your own food. The description says something about a spa, but we were not made aware of it.
