Set above the eastern shores of Lake Annecy, La Charmette is a beautifully renovated character home commanding glorious views of the lake and surrounding mountains, with interiors that exude modern style and French charm.

Step inside and you're greeted by a spacious entrance hall leading to an attractive well-equipped kitchen that flows seamlessly into the open-plan living and dining space with wooden floors and a beamed ceiling. Traditional shuttered windows frame the lake like a living painting, inviting you to dine al fresco on the vast terrace with stunning vistas. The dedicated TV and reading lounge is a cosy retreat, also with those mesmerising views.

Upstairs, four restful bedrooms on the first floor include two with lake-facing views and sinks, and a third with an en suite shower room. A family bathroom, additional shower room and lake-facing balcony elevate the experience, offering morning light and birdsong. The top floor continues the comfort, with a generous sleeping space with twin beds under the eaves, and a double en suite bedroom, ideal for extended families with older children or friends travelling together.

Outside, the terraced garden rolls down the hill – take the steps down to the swimming pool where you can unwind on the terrace with a beautiful outlook. Back near the house, there’s a shaded courtyard and the main terrace shaded by awnings, perfect for an evening of relaxation with a chilled glass in hand.

La Charmette is perched above Veyrier-du-Lac, a picturesque village on Lake Annecy’s eastern shore. Just a ten-minute walk brings you down to the village centre for bakeries, a grocer and charming eateries. Meander further to reach Plage de la Brune’s beachside bliss or explore Mont Veyrier’s trails rising behind the house. From cycling to canyoning, paddleboarding to paragliding, the region is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.

Whether you're seeking restful mornings on the terrace, sun-drenched afternoons by the pool or active adventures across the region, La Charmette offers a memorable stay where the lake is your constant, breath-stealing backdrop.

What you should know

  • Due to the layout of the property, no more than 4 children between the ages of 4 and 18 are permitted to stay at La Charmette. Please enquire for further information.
  • Due to the steps and steep grounds outside, and the open staircase inside the house, this villa is not suitable for young children or guests with limited mobility. Children will need to be supervised at all times. At the very end of the sloping grounds is the main road.
  • There are four bedrooms on the first floor and two bedrooms on the top floor, one of which is an open loft-style sleeping area with two single beds – please see the “Layout” tab for details.
  • It is also worth noting that the road leading to the parking area and carport is narrow and not suitable for large vehicles.
