We enjoyed our stay in this spacious chalet and found it a good location from which to explore Annecy and Geneve. AFTER we had paid the deposit and the final payment, we were annoyed that we were asked to pay a EUR1,000 cash security deposit. This is a rather excessive amount, and is many multiples of what we have encountered anywhere else (we travel extensively). It was explained to us that the owner had recenty had a bad experience, and that they found it necessary to introduce the security deposit. The deposit was returned to us fully, on our departure. Our home currency is not EUR, hence the inconvenience with exchange losses and bank fees. Apart from this problem, we had a good stay:)
