Residence les Gentianes, Lake Annecy - for Summer or Ski-ing

4-star accommodation on two levels in Doussard, at the southern end of beautiful Lac d'Annecy. Ideal rental for Summer and Winter holidays, being near to the beach, the mountains and for skiing, and convenient for Annecy itself including its shopping and restaurants.

Appartement 1 is one of just a few individually designed apartments in the same building. It sleeps 6 in the main bedroom (UK king size bed); mezzanine double bedroom; and bunks in bedroom 3. Including the sofa-bed in the living area, it can sleep up to 8.

Appartement 1 is equipped to a very high standard. We have a large balcony and mountain view; and a garage. An excellent supermarket, bank, local shops, brasserie and bar are less than 5 minutes walk. There's an Internet Cafe near Doussard, on the road along the lake to Annecy.

We are convenient by car for Annecy and Albertville, for summer activities around Lake Annecy and beyond, and for skiing at several ski-stations including Le Semnoz, La Clusaz, Les Saisies and Megève. Courchevel is accessible via the dual carriageway at Albertville, and Chamonix and Mont Blanc are reachable by Autoroute via Annecy.

We usually arrive at Geneva Airport and rent a car, or drive through France on Autoroutes all the way from Calais until just 25 miles from Annecy.

Appartement 1 is only a few minutes from the grassy beach at Doussard/Bout du Lac on the shores of Lake Annecy and its spectacular mountain scenery, swimming, sailing, fishing, wnd-surfing, para-gliding, mountain biking, cycling, roller-blading and walking. There's also golf with amazing views from the fairways, tennis, and pony riding.
