Overview
Just a few steps away from the photogenic Pont Perrière, stay in this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom apartment within the medieval city walls of historic Annecy.
Whether a short winter break or a base for a longer summer holiday by the shores of Lake Annecy, Roquette is a fine choice at any time of year. The characterful second-floor apartment has undergone a stylish transformation in recent years – step through the old wooden door and admire the open-plan living space with exposed stone walls and wood beamed ceiling alongside contemporary touches. Peep out of the window and you will be able to catch a glimpse of the 13th century Le Palais de I'Île and iconic Pont Perrière.
Sleeping up to 6 guests, choose between the attractive master double with a king-size bed and modern ensuite bathroom or the other two doubles that share a shower room and separate WC. Families are warmly welcomed here as well (two of the doubles can be split into twin beds) and a range of useful children’s equipment can be organised from a baby bath, highchair and bottle warmer to night lights.
Step out of the historic apartment building and you are surrounded by the vibrancy of Annecy with its shops, ice-cream parlours, restaurants and magnificent Savoy architecture. Stroll across the bridge to the artistic Jardins de l’Europe and wander along the lakeside promenade for stunning mountain and lake vistas. In the summer months venture to little lakeside beaches and discover boat hire and watersports.
Hire bikes to cycle the loop around Lake Annecy or hire a car to explore the natural beauty of the region. Stop off at the sandy lakeside beach at Saint-Jorioz, dine out in one of Talloires’ gastronomic restaurants, hike near the Angon waterfalls and be in awe of the fairytale façade of Château Menthon-Saint-Bernard before returning to the charm of this characterful and chic apartment in historic Annecy.

Location
About the surrounding area of RoquetteRoquette is part of a historic building in the heart of Annecy, just a few steps away from the photogenic Pont Perrière and 12th century Le Palais de I'Île. This charming apartment is on the second floor (no lift) via 32 steps from street level.
Trains arrive into Gare d'Annecy (800m on foot) or you can fly into Geneva Airport and Chambéry Airport, both 44km away. A car isn’t necessary to make the most of Annecy however there is a secured parking space in a nearby car park (200m away uphill) if needed.
The location of Roquette is ideal for exploring the medieval town – just step out of the building’s main entrance and you are surrounded by vibrant cafes, restaurants and shops, less than a minute from the famous canal and idyllic bridge (which you can see from the apartment’s lounge). This neighbourhood is often alive with activity, especially in the summer.
Across the year you can look out for festivities and events from the Christmas markets, ice-rink and late winter/spring Venetian Carnival to the annual marathon in April, June’s Festival International du Film d'Animation and the autumnal Retour des Alpages street festival. In the summer the town is filled with pavement cafes along the flower-filled lanes and visitors making the most of the beautiful lakeside setting of this stunning town.
Take a stroll along the lakeside promenade from the artistic Jardins de l’Europe, crossing over the romantic Pont des Amours. In the summer, look out for lakeside beaches, boat hire and watersports such as paddle-boarding, canoeing and kayaking by the lake’s shore. Keen cyclists should hire bikes and spend the day following the wonderful voie verte which loops around the lake with magnificent mountain and lake vistas.
Meanwhile, there are of course so many day trips to be enjoyed from the sandy lakeside beach at Saint-Jorioz (10km) to the fairy-tale Château Menthon-Saint-Bernard (12km, open seasonally) on the other side of the lake. Not to mention pretty lakeside villages such as historic Duingt (12km) and medieval Talloires (14km) loved for its charming Savoy architecture and excellent restaurants near the Cascade d'Angon hiking route.

Perfect base for exploring!
The apartment was a great base for Annecy and the region. It was well-equipped and in a great location.

A perfect stay in Annecy!
Thank you so much to the owner for having us at this lovely property. It is incredibly located in the middle of the old town of Annecy, just over the bridge from the charming Christmas markets and around the corner from the lake. The 3 bedrooms are spacious with plenty of room for our little family, and it had everything we needed for our stay. Our host was very accommodating, even helping us with some difficult travel issues that affected our booking, and he provided some great recommendations. We would love to stay again.

In the heart of the old town!
The apartment is in the heart of the old part of Annecy and if you enjoy ice cream it is directly above a great little shop with amazing flavours. The host was fantastic, kind and very easy to communicate with. He is also extremely knowledgeable of the area and can recommend many things. We had difficulty getting to Annecy and he was very accommodating with how many times our itinerary changed. There is lots to do in and around Annecy and the apartment could easily accommodate 6 people. The only set back is it has no ac but there are multiple fans which helped.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
