My husband and I rented the apartment for a week in October and were delighted. It was just as described. Clean and simple. Bright sunshine bursts through the french doors on a nice afternoon. The doors open to a small balcony overlooking the canal and all the rest of the charming old city. Fabulous views! We recommend it if you're looking for a spot right in the heart of the old city. It's not fancy, but everything you need is provided. Great place to base your visit to the Alps and beautiful Annecy. Don't miss fondue at Le Freti, crepes at Bleu de Toi, and pizza at La Sapaudia.

Recommended for:Tourists without a car, sightseeing.

Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our stay at your apartment in Annecy. We fell in love with the town and with the apartment, which surely must have one of the best views in France. We hope we'll be able to get back there soon. With best wishes and thanks for your helpful advice, Liz and Alex H. United Kingdom

I would like to thank you once again for the rental of the Annecy apartment. I must express our happiness upon arriving at the top of the stone staircase, opening the apartment door and entering your lovely apartment. Our first view of the Annecy prison, canals, and castle was from your windows, and we said repeatedly, ''Oh my God!'' with wonder and absolute delight. Every comfort was provided for, and most appreciated. We commend you on the special touches that made us feel at home, away from home. We felt privileged to experience Annecy from your charming apartment - you have a hidden treasure there! Kindest regards, Lynn F. Quebec

I have finally got round to saying how much we enjoyed our stay in Annecy. We had some spectacular walks as well as about a year's worth of fondue, raclette, etc. The apartment is in a perfect location, was comfortable, and contained all that we needed. Best wishes, Andrew S. Australia

We just got back from France yesterday, and I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay in the Annecy Suite. It was perfect for us. The information you sent was very helpful. We especially appreciated the nice touches such as the flowers on the mantel, and the orange juice in the fridge. The keys are on the way back to you in the mail as of this morning. Thank you for all you did to help arrange our stay. We appreciate it very much. David and Tarasa, Cedar Falls, IA USA

I just wanted to let you know what a great time we have had in Annecy, and how much we have enjoyed the apartment. It is in the PERFECT location and, as everyone has said, the view is spectacular. We have only had one side trip - to Chambery - because we are enjoying Annecy so much. The air is so clean, and we love to stroll along the lake.  The farmers' markets have been a delight and it was fun buying food there and having an apartment where we could  prepare it.  We have had a lot of rain and cool weather but if it not had been for the rain to clear out the volcanic ash from Iceland I think we would still be in the USA with no way to get here. I am writing this from the apt so you can see we have had no problems connecting to the internet. Thank you for the beautiful flowers. They still look good and we have one more day to enjoy the apt.   Thanks again, Richard and Cynthia Pebble Beach, CA

We had a wonderful time in your apartment in Annecy. All went well. Even though the weather forecast was for rain and clouds, we still had sun every now and then. We had a couple of picnic lunches by the lake. It was so beautiful. Thank you very much. Richard & Cynthia, Pebble Beach, CA USA

We have recently returned from a week at the Annecy apartment apartment. We have been to many apartments in Europe and this has to be rated as the best to date. The location could not be beaten. We choose to self cater all the time, and every shop imaginable was right on the doorstep: patisserie, delicatessen, butchers, fishmonger, bread shops, etc. The fantastic street market is held on Friday, Sunday, and Tuesday morning, and is just two minutes around the corner. For other groceries there are two Monoprix close by. The apartment was so homely and had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The view of the little river, chateau, roofs of the old town, and mountains was simply wonderful. The apartment is very light and so quiet. We didn't hear a thing from anybody else all week. We hired bikes and cycled round the lake which was glorious. Of course, we went on the lake and also had a couple of days out to Geneva and Aix les Bains, but were pleased to get back to Annecy on both occasions. Annecy is a very special place and this apartment is also very special. Elaine N. Bollington, UK

The Annecy apartment was stunning!

Guest: Ray and Annette C.
Date of Stay: 11/27/09 Review Submitted: 01/22/10

The Annecy apartment was stunning, set as it is above the river with views over the old gaol and up towards the lake. We could not have asked for a more relaxing week, blessed as we were with beautiful weather. The twice weekly markets, with beautiful fresh food to choose from, became three when we were lucky enough to be there on the day that the alpine community celebrated Le Retour des Alpages, which I believe marks the return of the animals from the high summer pastures to their winter quarters. What an experience that was; music, dance, markets, crafts, animals, costumes, parades, it was just so special. Some of the highlights for us were the cruise on the lake, the drive around the lake, Chamonix Mont Blanc (stunning), the Col de la Forclaz (beautiful), the autumn colours in the mountains, walking the streets of the old city, the beautiful tastes from the Traiteur next door. The apartment itself is so well set out. The washing machine and dryer so handy, the kitchen well appointed, bed very comfortable. We had a ball, and would love to return! Yours sincerely, Ray and Annette C. Australia

We had a wonderful holiday in Annecy. There is so much to see and do: lovely parks, great shops, family cycle trail down the side of the lake, good clean local public swimming pool, and another lovely park within the pool area. The apartment is in the old town – in the hub of everything that's going on. To open the french doors and hear the buzz of the old town was entertainment in its self. We loved it all. We will visit again soon! Ian and Mari B. Ayrshire, Scotland
