Paradise. Perfect for families!
We're a family of four with two young & active kids who've just returned from a week in Philippe's house. I'm happy to say it far, far exceeded our expectations.
The house is absolutely gorgeous. It's much bigger and brighter than the photos suggest - it's light and airy, and the dining area is a wonderful space with the doors that open wide onto the balcony. The balconies (yes, there are two!) are spacious with incredible views across the port and lake to the mountains beyond., complete with loungers and sunshades. The location is quiet and incredibly picturesque, and the village is calm and beautiful. The beach is only a minute away, and it's perfect for the kids. It's calm, clean shallow and safe. Occasionally the swans came to join us as we swam!
Between the lake, the mountains and the towns, there's so much to see in the area - I think we probably just scratched the surface.
The house had everything we needed - all the usual kitchen appliances, three loos and two bathrooms. The WiFi is fast and stable.
Things to mention - the house backs onto a street and while you can hear traffic slightly, it was never enough to disturb. There's no aircon, but it didn't bother us as you can drop the blinds and keep the ventilation slots open. Reversing into the garage can be a little intense after a long day, but you soon get the hang of it. And there's a lot of stairs, which didn't bother us, but it's something to bear in mind.
We never do the same holiday twice, but after this experience I think we're going to make an exception. It's just perfect.
