Find villas near Lake Annecy

Check in was very straight forward, with great communication (in English) from the owners. Well equipped kitchen; inflatables for the pool area were left, which our kids loved; hot tub is well-maintained and luxurious. We were able to bring our small dog (Springer-poo) and he had a great time too. For those not bringing pets, do not worry, the house was very clean throughout, we found - the cleaner is local and is evidently very thorough. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of extra pillows available, if needed. The home cinema / projector system was a fun touch and filled the only wet evening we had during our week there. There is a small supermarket and collection of small shops in Doussard itself, about a 10 minute walk from the villa. The villa has ample parking and felt very secure. The villa has toys for small children and a trampoline in the garden. Great views from the garden too. Be sure to check out Sambuy Luge in the summer - great for the kids. The panoramic views of the Lake from the east side are particularly stunning. If you are looking for a well equipped, child and dog-friendly villa in a quiet spot, close to breath-taking scenery, my family and I would highly recommend this villa!

We had a fabulous stay in this excellent house. The setting was perfect - gorgeous views of the lake and mountains. The only real problem was that it was so lovely and peaceful watching the lake each morning, that it was hard to motivate to get out and do the many activities available. Wim, our host, was warm and so helpful. At one point I commented that the doors were creaky - the next day he showed up with a can of wd-40, took all of the doors off the hinges and lubricated them properly. He was always responsive to any questions we had. The house was well equipped, everything clean and modern. We were particularly pleased to have a great gas BBQ, which we used to cook almost every dinner by the pool.

This really is the most special place , we absolutely loved our time here , largely sitting around enjoying the spectacular views that are never quite the same on any given day. The house was immaculate and had plenty of toys for our small children to enjoy . I would thoroughly recommend it .

Pauline has a wonderful house to stay in: big, spacious, very well appointed, great facilities, amazing top quality art in many forms, beautiful big safe garden, and the most picturesque views. The base is part way between Annecy and Geneva (unlike described on the various sites). This proved to be far better than staying in Annecy itself. We made one trip to Annecy town - lovely, and one to drive round lake and swim. Having a car and planning to travel, it is five minutes from the Autoroutes North and South, and we drove to Lake LeMan (Yvoire and boat to Nyon), to Montreux (Panoramic train to Gstaad), to Chamonix (trip up Auguille Du Midi - Mont Blanc) and to La Clusaz (Summer toboggan and child friendly stuff). All much easier from this location. There is also a supermarket five minutes drive away for the big practical kitchen. Otherwise it is secluded on a hillside and fabulous for eating and playing in the garden in Summer. Thank you Pauline for great hospitality. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful week, the house, grounds, views and lake were all amazing. The wine selection available to buy was a big hit. Alexandra and her Father were a great hosts and really added to our experience. We would definitely love to stay again.

We had a lovely week at this house by Lake Annecy. The location is perfect - quiet, beside the bike path and less than 5 mins walk from stand-up paddle boarding. We enjoyed cycling to Annecy for dinner and relaxing in the garden.
