About this property

Talloires village house - perfectly located. Stroll to Lake Annecy. Sleeps 8.

Le Cormoran - Talloires (also searchable as Our French Village House - Talloires) is perfect for large families, two families travelling together, small groups of cyclists (the garage with easy access to the street is perfect for storing bikes when not in use), girls' special trips away or even writers' retreats. The metre-thick inside walls, sturdy exposed wooden beams and stone garden walls leave no doubt that this is a house that has a history and has welcomed many generations of families. Set in the middle of the village of Talloires and with great access to all amenities it nonetheless has been decorated with an eye to retaining elements of the past but providing comfort in the present. Light-filled all year round, it offers a double bedroom with direct access to the garden and separate shower and toilet on the ground floor, an open dining area and morning coffee corner on the first floor plus a separate loungeroom which leads out to the terrace and the enclosed back garden. The kitchen, a shower room and a separate toilet are also on this level. The three other bedrooms (one queen and two with two single beds in each) are located on the top floor along with a third bathroom (under the eaves) and a separate toilet. You can choose to dine at either the long wooden table in the dining area inside or the outside table on the terrace, both intended to favour long lunches and festive dinners. A BBQ and some additional outdoor seating has been provided for you to relax and enjoy the mountain vista on offer. Monthly and longer-term stays are possible at a reduced rate. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.

One week stay for a family of four.
We stayed here for a week in the summertime. Check in was easy and we loved the house. Our two adult children were with us and there was plenty of space for us all. The house had everything we needed and we loved the outside seating area. We cooked and ate there several times. The house is well located for local shops and bars and close to rhe lake. There are also good local bus links to Annecy.

Lovely holiday home.
Quirky house in fabulous location in the town so sometimes heard street noise. In very hot weather bedrooms in the were roof were stifling but wouldn't expect a/c in such a house. Lovely private garden facing the mountains and everything within walking distance. There was a delightful terrace where we ate all our meals. Talloires smaller than expected but delightful. Facilities ( washing and cooking)in the house were excellent. We had a lovely time- many thanks!

Lovely House Full of Character
We really enjoyed our stay in this house which is split over three levels and is quirky and full of character. The garden is large with a great deck you can sit out on in the evening and enjoy a drink. As there are not that many bars in the village we opted for this before going out to eat and it was certainly no great hardship. All the amenities worked well and the kitchen was well equipped. In hot weather we would recommend staying in the ground floor bedroom as it is the coolest and the en suite shower room looked brand new. Rooms upstairs can get stuffy in hot weather although fans are provided. There are a couple of tips I would give about the village of Talloires. The first is that many of the restaurants are high end/Michelin starred which for us as a couple was great. However if you are bringing children, especially younger children, the formality of a lot of the restaurants may not be for you. There are a couple of family friendly restaurants but if you’re here for any length of time, I would consider self catering or another location. The other tip is around weekends. The village (as it is right next to the lake) was heaving at the weekends during hot weather, so if you want a restaurant booking on a Friday or Saturday night, make sure you make it well in advance. We had thought that everyone would go to nearby Annecy which is much larger in terms of lakeside space, but there were what felt like hundreds of people in what is essentially a village of two or three streets! If you’re a couple or a group of adults looking for a peaceful time in a spectacular setting and enjoy top quality French cuisine, this is for you. We really enjoyed our stay.

Return visit to lovely French village house
The house is wonderfully situated in Talloires, close to the lake, beach and all amenities. Full of character, well equipped and with a lovely terrace, garden and beautiful views of the mountains behind. The managers, Claude and Michelle, are always very helpful and informative. Thank you Catherine for another memorable holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Berry

Host profile image
My husband and I headed to France with our three children several years ago to live for a year. Our original choice of destination, the Annecy area, was a lucky fluke arrived at after flicking through the pages of the Lonely Planet Guide, stopping on Annecy and reading not only of the beauty of the lake and the proximity to multiple ski stations but also the international airport of Geneva and Italy a hop, skip and jump away. With our interest piqued, we made enquiries, enrolled the children in local schools and decided after a month of living à la française that a year away would be way too short.
If you would like to find out more about us please don't hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to forward additional information and photos to you. If you are really curious, you might like to read 'But you are in France, Madame' - our story. Kindle and paperback editions available on Amazon (search by title).

Why they chose this property

We lived for several years in Menthon-St-Bernard, the next village around the lake and the children attended the local primary school Le Clos Chevalier. Over the years we welcomed many visitors to our simple French life and began to laughingly comment on the increasing pride with which we did so. It was as if we were becoming French ourselves. A place to call home - in France - became our goal and armed with a list of criteria ( close to a bakery being number one! ) and after several years of serious looking we were amazed to be able to finally purchase such a house in the heart of Talloires.

What makes this property unique

The location of the property in the heart of the village of Talloires, only 150m or so from the Lake shore, is second to none. Additional to this is the charm and history of the house itself, complete with a fully enclosed garden and magnificent views. The daily ritual of opening and closing the shutters with lake and mountain glimpses is a pleasure to be savoured as is quiet contemplation from the terrace or beside the lake watching the sun go down.
