Location:

Talloires Lakehouse Lower Apartment is located a short walk from the pretty lakeside village of Talloires – the property is perched on a hill just above the main road that connects the eastern shore of the lake, with easy access to the cycling lane that heads towards Annecy (12.5km). Just stroll slightly down the hill, cross the road and within a couple of minutes you will find yourself on the village square.


Here, meandering cobbled streets reveal a host of local delights – from a welcoming boulangerie for your morning pastries to a grocery store, tabac and a charming cycle café ideal for hiring bikes. The village cinema regularly screens both international hits and art-house films, often in their original language. For gourmets, Talloires is a true find, renowned for its exceptional lakeside dining and elegant restaurants with postcard-perfect views. Don’t miss the Thursday morning market if staying in the summer months.


Talloires’ shoreline is just as enticing, boasting a vibrant seasonal beach where families and friends gather for sunny afternoons on the grass. Dive into the lake from jumping platforms, cool off in the paddling pool or challenge friends at the volleyball court. A lively pizzeria at the water’s edge provides the perfect spot to unwind, often accompanied by live music. The adjacent nautical centre offers kayaks, paddleboards and pedal boats for hire, an effortless way to experience the lake’s crystal-clear waters.


Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities for adventure, from canyoning in nearby hills and hiking to dramatic viewpoints, to playing tennis or golf in picturesque surrounds. The Lake Annecy cycle path provides a spectacular ride parallel to the shoreline, while summer boat shuttles offer a scenic and serene journey across the water to Annecy’s old town or nearby villages. Electric bike hire and summer buses also connect you with local gems beyond Talloires. Cycling is very popular across the area and the owners can advise on excellent routes - lockable bike storage is available. 
Just a short distance away, Menthon-Saint-Bernard enchants with its fairy-tale château and lakeside promenade, while Veyrier-du-Lac offers upscale restaurants with unforgettable views. Don’t miss the nearby Réserve Naturelle du Roc de Chère – a haven of tranquillity and home to the Golf du Lac d'Annecy, all just a few minutes from your door.
