From the living space, the expansive terrace is an idyllic spot for sunset aperitifs, barbecues or simply soaking in the ever-changing lake views.

Six beautifully appointed bedrooms (some with lake views) provide restful accommodation for up to 12 guests. One of the en suite bedrooms features a decadent bath with a lake vistas – a true highlight of your stay! We also love the newly converted attic master suite, complete with a king-size bed, suspended terrace and glorious panoramas.

Furthermore, the villa’s lower apartment is rented separately – you share access to the alpine garden (with trampoline and swing) and parking/grounds.

Location

On the eastern shores of Lake Annecy, the village of Talloires is a blend of alpine character and lakeside charm, offering a quintessential French escape. Talloires Lakehouse Upper Villa is located a short 5 to 10-minute walk from the village, set on a hillside above the main road that runs parallel to the lake. Simply walk slightly down the hill, cross the road and within a couple of minutes you will find yourself in the heart of the village.

Begin your day with a fresh croissant from the boulangerie or rent a bicycle from the cycle café to explore the Lake Annecy cycle path. The village hosts a small cinema, showing international films in an intimate setting, and food lovers will delight in the fine restaurants offering exceptional gastronomy, some with amazing views. Look out for the lovely Thursday morning market that takes place on the village square in the summer months.

On warm summer days, the village’s lively lakefront beckons. The village beach features diving boards, a paddling pool, volleyball court and a vibrant pizzeria with live music, perfect for unwinding with family or friends (facilities are seasonal and entry fees usually apply for lakeside beaches). The nearby nautical centre invites you to explore the lake at your own pace, with kayaks, paddleboards and pedal boats all available for hire.

Adventure calls from every corner, whether you’re hiking to breathtaking viewpoints, canyoning in the nearby gorges, or playing tennis and golf. For something gentler, hop aboard a summer boat shuttle to Annecy’s enchanting old town (12.5km) or neighbouring lakeside hamlets. Electric bikes and seasonal buses in the summer also make exploring effortless and environmentally friendly. The area is especially popular with cyclists - the owners can advise you on a variety of excellent routes and lockable bike storage is available.

Venture to discover the fairy-tale Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard (6km), the gastronomic delights of Veyrier-du-Lac (6.5km), or the untamed beauty of the Réserve Naturelle du Roc de Chère (1.5km), home to the picturesque Golf du Lac d’Annecy (2.5km).

The Region

With stunning Alpine scenery and serene turquoise waters, Lake Annecy is a fine destination throughout the year whether you are visiting for winter skiing in the mountains or summer watersports on the glistening water. Known as the “Venice of the Alps”, Annecy town is located at the northern tip of the lake. Wander by its charming canals in the medieval town, stroll across the famous Pont Perrière before reaching the lakeside promenade with the most magnificent vistas throughout the year.

Wintertime brings enchanting Christmas markets and the town’s ice-rink, then there’s the vibrant Venetian carnival and spring marathon before the weather allows you to make the most of Annecy’s summer café terraces and gorgeous parks. In the summer months enjoy a range of lakeside activities such as swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddle-boarding and boat rides, all in spectacular surroundings.

Cyclists of all abilities will love the voie verte that loops around the lake again passing breathtaking scenery. Wherever you stay around the lake, explore pretty villages and lakeside beaches.

Pick up regional specialities at Saint-Jorioz’s Thursday morning market, cycle through the old railway tunnel to medieval Duingt, dine in one of Talloires’s highly regarded restaurants and admire the majestic Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard.

Head into the mountains for authentic market towns, farms, incredible hikes and a great range of wintersports. Thônes is the gateway to the Aravis mountain resorts such as La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand, both a superb place for skiing in the winter and home to a wealth of alpine activities in the summer. On the other side of the lake, appreciate the beauty of the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park and admire the magnificence of the Semnoz mountain.

Whether relaxing by the lake or venturing into the mountains, experience hearty Savoyard cuisine. The region enjoys a rich culinary heritage – try fondue, raclette and tartiflette in authentic hôtels or fish from the lake accompanied by fine regional wine in high-end restaurants overlooking the idyllic shores.
