The views and location are amazing, the thick walls of the old house keep you cool in summer. The owner, Bruno was very responsive. He recommended a cook, Nina, who prepared great meals for the 12 of us and each night we dined looking out over the gorgeous lake.

We had a wonderful holiday in Talloires! We were a group of eleven wanting a holiday with a wide range of possibilities for our stay, and Talloires offered it all! Mountain trips, bathing, biking, easy access for a great variety of activities. A visit in Annecy´s old town with markets, churches and castles was also a nice experience. The spaceous house and garden was just lovely! Just a couple of minutes walking distance to the lake, the local bakery, stores and restaurants. Everything we needed was just there. Even though we had rental cars we found the local buses to be a very convenient way to get around, being there in July, they were even for free!

Our large family enjoyed a very special week in Talloires. The beautiful home is charming and filled with unique art. We enjoyed walks to the lake, stores, bakery and various nature paths. We thoroughly enjoyed the lake view from the back deck while sampling local cheeses, wines, breads and pastries. We spent day trips exploring Annecy, Mont Blanc, Geneva, cheese shops and restaurants. Bruno was a wonderful host. He provided us with lots of recommendations for places to enjoy. He was responsive to any of our requests. We will sure miss this special place.

Three generations from 20 months to 65 years stayed at this Talloires home for a week. Location was incredibly convenient to everything we needed and desired in town with beautiful mountain and lake views. It was a five to ten minute walk wherever we wanted to go: grocery store, bakery, coffee shop, restaurants and even the park and gravel beach at the lake. Private parking was very convenient. It’s an older home that was clearly loved by its family and is on a big lot with a lovely lawn and garden, including a play set for the children. Kitchen, laundry and bathrooms all in good working condition. Lovely outdoor spaces and outdoor grill. Host came over when we arrived and gave a thorough tour of the home and also came as we were leaving to say goodbye. The location allowed us quick access to hiking, boating, swimming and there are lots of places to eat and drink. Annecey is a quick drive if more stimulation is desired but if one just wants to relax, Talloires is the spot. From the host, we were able to hire a chef for our first evening meal and it couldn’t have been more French or more delicious. Good selection of wine and cheese was also provided. Babysitter was secured from a regional service and Rose was wonderful with the toddler. I do want say there are at least three levels to this home and we are all healthy so stairs were not an issue for us. We highly recommend this home and will surely return to the region.

Magical location enhanced by great accommodations
Magical location enhanced by great accommodations
My flock of paraglider flying friends thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The ample space within the home allowed for our varied group to enjoy both group time, as well as some quite time. The village is rich in character and easy to navigate. The quite location provided a wonderful venue for our frequent outside meals. The host was gracious and very informative and our catered meals from Nina were deemed the surprise highlight of the trip.
