Cosy gîte near lakes Annecy and Le Bourget

Located in the countryside, this 60-square-meter vacation rental, housed in an old farmhouse dating back to 1860, is a 15-minute walk from the center of the village—a charming little town renowned for its medieval festival, which takes place every May.
A terrace and a small enclosed garden are at your disposal. To make your stay even more enjoyable, we’ve provided a plancha grill, a raclette/pierrade set, and a fondue set.
We also provide games and books for leisure, for the whole family—from the youngest to the oldest—and, to make your life and travel easier, a changing table, baby bathtub, crib, bottle warmer, high chair, booster seat, and toilet seat reducer.
The proximity to highway interchanges (3 km) makes it easy to reach ANNECY (15 min), AIX LES BAINS (15 min), and GENEVA (40 min).
A bus line (bus stop 400 m away; free service in July and August) provides easy access to ANNECY. Shuttles run from the village to Le Semnoz (a family-friendly ski resort with easy hikes in summer) and from Annecy to other resorts (La Clusaz...)
Rivers and lakes for swimming, nearby mountains for short walks or longer hikes in the summer, skiing in the winter, mountain biking... You can enjoy sports activities all year round.
