Paragliders fly by as you sit out on the spacious terrace with magnificent vistas of the lake and mountains. The decked terraces have been positioned to make the most of this fantastic setting – lie in the hammock, dip into the swimming pool or lounge on the outdoor sofas before enjoying al-fresco feasts with family and friends.
Inside, the elegant living and dining space is open-plan to the modern kitchen with doors sliding open to the terraces. On this floor there is a self-contained apartment, reached via the main villa, with its own lounge and small kitchen alongside a double bedroom, balcony and shower room. This could be ideal for visiting grandparents or a couple seeking a little privacy.
The other three bedrooms are upstairs, all with sumptuous king-size double beds (one which can be split into a twin) and a family bathroom. On the lower floor guests benefit from a brilliant games room with table football, darts and board games – a cosy spot for all ages to spend quality time together throughout the year.
Set just off the road connecting Talloires and the Aravis mountains, Aquarelle is less than a 10-minute drive from pretty lakeside beaches, summer watersports, an 18-hole golf course and the signposted walking trails of Réserve Naturelle du Roc de Chère. Dine out in one of Talloires’ gastronomic restaurants and visit the picture-perfect village of Menthon-Saint-Bernard and its fairytale château.
Heading towards the mountains, venture to the characterful town of Thônes and try its delicious cheeses, then continue on towards the winter skiing or summer hiking opportunities around La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand.
Meanwhile, cycle, drive or take a boat to one of France’s most beautiful towns, Annecy, with its canals, pretty bridges, exquisite architecture, shops and lakeside promenade with yet more views of Lake Annecy and its stunning scenery.
- One of the four bedrooms is in a self-contained apartment on the main floor – perhaps ideal for accompanying family/grandparents.
- Families are welcome – take care with youngsters on the striking staircase and outside across the terraces/steps.
