This is a spacious country house overlooking the Bourget lake, and the view is simply astonishing.
Pros: Where to start...
- Can easily accommodate multiple couples and children, since there are two apartments.
- House is well-equipped: Kitchen has everything, stove works great, two fridges. Multiple bathrooms, bedding arrangements were comfortable.
- If you're not sure about using the pool which is on the owners' side, don't worry. They're totally cool about it.
- Zero crime or safety concerns.
- Small-but-good supermarket walking distance, massive Carrefour is a 15 minute drive.
- Owners: Kind and welcoming. Born-and-raised locals, they know everything, especially about skiing and biking.
Aix les Bains & Savoie: Hiking without a drive, biking around Mont Revard, access to the beach and the marina, Chamonix, Annecy and Geneva are all a short drive. The food is spectacular and the Savoyards are very laid-back.
Cons: None.
Note: This house is slightly on the rustic side and does not have AC, which was fine by us. In June, the windows were permanently open, with a breeze, lovely garden and no adjacent structures. We were very comfortable with the fans in 85F / 27C temps.
