|
|
The Annecy Old Towne Suite overlooks the river and old Chateau/Prison in the heart of Annecy, just steps from the lake and a short drive from the ski station of the French Alps. In summer the apartment is a haven between walks around the lake and hikes in the mountains, or sailing and kayaking on the lake. Easy links to Grenoble, Chambery, Albertville, and Geneva make Annecy a great base for a summer or winter retreat.
In winter, you are a short hop to some of the Alps best skiing, while staying in one of the most charming town in the region. You're surround by winter sports and can enjoy the bustle of the restaurants, tea rooms, bars, and shopping of Annecy's medieval center.
The city is also home to excellent language schools and long tradition of music and theater.

Notes on accommodation
The apartment uses wall-based heating during the winter.
The apartment is not suitable for very young children, since there's a balcony overlooking the river and it is not child-proofed.
The apartment is quiet, thanks to its location along the river, and away from the main bridges that accommodate tourists.
The thrice-weekly market is just steps away, and you never lack for things to do in the most charming town in France.

Outside
This is an apartment with a lovely balcony, but it is only a block from the Jardin d'Europe on the banks of Lake Annecy, which is a particularly charming place to walk, read, and watch the boats on the lake.
Skiing
Annecy is convenient to a number of ski resorts. It's less than an hour to Chamonix and Albertville. You are especially close to the ski stations of the Aravis, including the gigantic area of La Clusaz (35 minutes). La Clusaz and its affiliated areas offer all levels of skiing in an atmosphere of a village, without the gigantic apartment blocks you'll find elsewhere. It is very easy to drive up for the day, and then enjoy the restaurants and bars of Annecy at night.
