Stunning apartment with panoramic lake and mountain views close to all amenities
Apartment 314 is a stunning, recently renovated property, enjoying a peaceful location in a small development on the edge of the village of Talloires, with spectacular views over the village, lake, Chateau de Duingt and surrounding mountains.
A 10 minute walk takes you into the village centre, with its port, grass beach, leisure facilities, shops, cafes and restaurants, while immediately behind the apartment are trails which meander up to the stunning Cascade d'Angon waterfall and beyond into the mountains. The Roc de Chere nature reserve is also just a short walk away.
Talloires is the most picturesque village on the shores of Lake Annecy, and is just 20 minutes away by road or boat from the town of Annecy, with its Vieille Ville (old town), cobbled streets, winding canals and medieval Château .
The apartment, owned by us for 25 years, has recently undergone a major refurbishment. It now consists of an open plan living room and kitchen, two bedrooms (one a mezzanine), bathroom and private hardwood terrace.
The living room has a large corner leather sofa, flat screen TV and DVD player and large patio door, offering far reaching views out across the private hardwood terrace, communal gardens and beyond to the village, lake and mountains. A dining table and chairs are provided for use indoors or on the terrace, along with a sun lounger and 2 reclining chairs.
The kitchen has feature slate walls, solid oak worktops, full sized dishwasher, fan oven, induction hob, microwave and washing machine.
A new hardwood staircase leads up the mezzanine main bedroom, with double bed, sky lights, flat screen TV/DVD and views back down over the living room. Please note that, although a large room, this bedroom is not full height.
To the rear of the apartment is a bathroom with corner bath and shower above and the second bedroom. This bedroom is compact and has a double bed is ideal for either a couple or 2 children. The bedroom window faces out onto a grass bank and woodland. A travel cot is also available.
All bed linen (with the exception of the travel cot) and towels are provided, as are dishwasher tablets and basic toiletries. Boardgames, selected guidebooks and family DVDs are all available for your use.
Wifi is not provided but there is excellent mobile phone network coverage throughout the property, so we have never felt the need to install anything further.
Externally, the property enjoys a private very sunny, partially covered terrace, communal gardens and shared private car park. A footpath from the front of the property provides a short cut down the hill into the village.
Please note, this is not a commercial rental - it is our family holiday home, in a magical location with a fantastic view.

Mark and Lorna's apartment is a perfect place for 2 people who would like to enjoy vacation in a special place. It is few minutes from the village of Talloires, has a beautiful view of the mountains and the lake. It has all you need. It is nicely decorated and renovated, also clean. Talloires has few very nice restaurants and it is not touristy as some other places. It is quiet .We would love to come back soon! Joanna and Jan

Wonderful, peaceful and beautiful retreat for a holiday!
We spent a week here at this peaceful retreat. The views were stunning. We really enjoyed staying in Talloires. The town is friendly with incredible restaurants. There is a grocery store very close so you have the convenience of making some meals at home. We went hiking to the waterfalls on a trail right by the house. You can go parasailing within an easy 10 minute drive. You can also take the local ferry to get to different towns on the lake. Parking was always available. The hosts Mark and Lorna were quick to respond and answer questions. If you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful retreat with amazing views, this is it!

Beautiful location, small but nicely appointed property.
We were so pleased to stay in this property. The view is simply beautiful, especially as the sun sets. It is a short 5 minute walk into the village and to the beach down a hill, a little longer coming home!
The kitchen and living area are small but perfect and the milk/wine/juice in the fridge were much appreciated on our arrival!
The mezanine is low ceilinged as in the description, but it is very comfortable up there and it certainly didn't bother us.
Talloires is simply lovely, the kids loved the 'beach', the harbour is beautiful, the little shop has most of what you need and there are plenty of places to eat. Kayaks and paddleboards are easily available to hire, as are bikes.
Mark was fantastic at communicating with us prior to our stay.
Thank you for allowing us to holiday in your property, we had a really lovely time.

Nice apartment with amazing views over Lake Annecy. Accurate description on website. Compact, but with enough room for a family of four. Good facilities throughout, clean and tidy. Convenient parking, 5 minute walk to centre of Talloires with good local facilities. Excellent information and communication from hosts. Lack of wi-fi not an issue as good mobile reception - we were able to stream video on laptop using phone as hotspot with no problem. You won’t want to watch much video anyway as there’s loads of stuff to do nearby both on the lake or in the mountains. Annecy an easy drive with plenty of restaurants and amazing ice cream! Only an hour or so from Geneva and easy to find. Overall highly recommended.

We stayed at the apartment for one week and enjoyed the tranquility and beautiful view. The location is great and it is possible to walk to the lake and back if you’re fit and ambitious (we managed it with our 7 and 6 year olds carrying seats and bags etc plus daily croissant run!). It was also pleasant eating outside the property.
The big compromise however is the upstairs bedroom which, alongside the low height (which we were prepared for but in truth we only went into the bedroom to sleep) is incredibly hot. Unfortunately, the sleeping arrangement due to the heat (there is a fan but it purely circulates the hot air) wasn’t pleasant. There was a heatwave when we were at Tailloires. Thanks

Hi Nathan and thanks for your kind review. We are delighted you enjoyed your holiday. In relation to the points raised...
We are glad you didn't find the walk into the village / lake too arduous. We normally assume 10mins there and up to 20mins back - the downside of being in the Alps is there are one or two inclines!
With regard to the mezzanine bedroom, we do make the point very clearly on the website and all information provided that it is not full height, as we wouldn't want anyone booking the property under any misapprehensions.
It is unfortunate that the timing of your holiday coincided with the pan-European heatwave. We actually lived in the property throughout the last heatwave and found several ways of mitigating the effects (opening both velux windows at sunset, leaving the patio door open but bringing down the security shutter over night to ensure there was adequate throughflow of air etc.). If we had known you were struggling, we could have helped with this advice.
Kind regards

Liked: Communication, location
Perfect views of Lake Annecy
Excellent directions to the property however we did have a problem finding the actual apartment, even in the daylight.
Inside, the apartment is quite compact but fine for the two of us. Any more than this could be quite crowded.
The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay however very disappointed to find several plates and bowls with remnants of food still on them.
The bed was made up in the mezzanine and although it is mentioned that headroom was tight we were not expecting it to be that low, and so moving around was difficult and sleeping uncomfortable as it was very warm.
There is always a saving grace however and that was the view from the patio which was magnificent. A perfect place to have breakfast, lunch and dinner and to watch the sunset.
Talloires and the lake were fantastic and so many walks in the vicinity to enjoy.

Hi John and thanks for your review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the property and it’s level of equipment, location and view.
In relation to actually finding the property, we provide a very detailed arrival pack, with maps and pictures. We only tend to encounter problems when guests don’t manage to read or print it in advance.
With regards to the plates, this is the first time we have ever received a comment of this nature. We do pride ourselves on the condition of the property and so we will take this up with our property manager.
We were very disappointed to see your comments relating to the size of the property and the mezzanine height, as we do go to great lengths, both in terms of the description and photos, to make sure the property is accurately represented, so this should never be a surprise. If you found the restricted height to be a problem on the mezzanine, we are a little puzzled as to why you simply didn’t use the rear full-height bedroom instead as there were only 2 of you.
It is unfortunate that the mezzanine was too warm for you. It has 2 opening velux windows and a large tower fan and this seems more than adequate for most guests.
For information for other guests, we should also point out that we directly followed on from you in the property in a 4 adult group and, as usual, had no issues with the size, height or warmth of the property.
Excellent séjour chez Lorna et Mark avec une communication aisée tant à l’entrée qu’à la sortie. Le logement est bien équipé conforme à l’annonce avec une très belle vue sur le lac. La localisation du logement permet un accès rapide à la plage en 10 min. avec une bonne condition physique (chemin pentu) et l’accès aux autres lieux (randonnées, villes, Annecy) se fait facilement grâce au bus. Cela donne très envie de revenir !

Merci pour votre avis et vos suggestions. En ce qui concerne les meubles de jardin, je ne suis pas certain de comprendre votre commentaire, car les meubles fournis conviennent à un usage de jardin. Nous envisagerons de fournir un grille-pain, bien qu’il y ait un gril dans la partie supérieure du four. Nous sommes très heureux que vous ayez apprécié vos vacances à Talloires.
Situation idéale, vue imprenable sur le lac, au calme, excellent séjour à Talloire,
L’appartement manque peut-être un peu de hauteur sous plafond au niveau de la mezzanine... et quelques Equipements supplémentaires dans la cuisine seraient bienvenus (saladier, faitout, plus d’assiettes et couverts... )
Bien cordialement

This is our favourite place! Our second consecutive summer. The view is sublime!!! We love the location, the layout, the responsiveness of the owner & property manager. We’ve fallen in love with this beautiful part of the world. We spend a lot of time in & on the “delicious” water of Lake Annecy. Diving, jumping, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding. We love playing tennis, mini golf & table tennis @ Club Le 604. They do great burgers! We love the walk up into the nature reserve & the cascades. Base camp is great! This year we hired bikes & cycled around the whole of the lake. A first for our family! Whether you choose to chill or be active during the day, you’ve always got that stunning view to come back to. For us, it’s a hard one to beat!

We loved our stay here. The apartment is as advertised with a wonderful patio view of the lake. The size was perfect for our family of 4. I would suggest bringing beach towels. We traveled from US and didn’t bring any. Buying them at the beach cost us $40/towel. Also, be prepared to not be able to stand up in the upstairs loft. the ceiling is very low.
All in all a great stay. We definitely recommend it and would stay there again.
This is a beautiful place, overlooking the village and lake with surrounding mountains. A very comfortable and well equipped apartment in a superb location. We had a thoroughly relaxing stay and there’s lots to see and do in the area. Some excellent restaurants too.

A great place. Well maintained. Nicely renovated. Beautiful spot overlooking the lake. The owner was helpful and available to answer our questions. The only tiny challenge was finding this spot in the dark. It’s doable for sure, but I would personally recommend arriving by day for the first time. I recommend this property and its beautiful location!

Lovely chalet, stunning setting and location
Just come back from a relaxing week in Talloires. Loads to do to keep our 2 children (9 and 12) occupied despite the cooler weather. The lake was in walking distance, as was a bakery, supermarket, restaurants, tennis courts and mini golf. Lots of beautiful walks and drives up to the mountain were spectacular.
The accommodation was immaculate, all mod cons and owners were quick and efficient in getting back to us with any of our queries.
Highly recommend and would love to come back again.

Amazing views!
Perfect apartment for our our family with 2 young children. The apartment had everything we needed and was in excellent condition, the owners have a booklet of information in the apartment giving us everything we needed to know. It is a short stroll from town (a steep descent - harder on the way home) and to an amazing beach perfect for families. We were worried from the pictures that it would feel small however, we were pleasantly surprised on arrival and were very comfortable.
Highly recommended, thank you so much Lorna and Mark!

About the host
Hosted by Lorna and Mark
We are from Bolton in the North West of England. We love to travel and experience different cultures. We love the French Alps and Lake Annecy.
Apartment 314 was originally built as part of the Hermitage Hotel complex for the Albertville Winter Olympics in 1992. The apartments, located in the gardens of the hotel, were subsequently sold off as individual properties and the hotel finally closed completely in the late 90’s, ultimately to be converted into private apartments.
When we bought Apartment 314 in 2000 it was an untouched one bedroom property. In 2003-4, we re-configured the space to allow for a bigger kitchen and new bathroom and converted the loft into a mezzanine bedroom.
Recently we have totally upgraded the apartment to a much higher standard, incorporating a new hardwood staircase, high specification kitchen with solid oak worktops and new appliances, leather sofa, feature slate walls and new floors.
Why they chose this property
Great location, fantastic views, stunning apartment renovated to a high standard.
What makes this property unique
Quiet location but just a short walk from the village centre and lake. Panoramic views over the village, Annecy Lake, Chateau du Duingt and surrounding mountains.
