4 Star Apartment in Doussard, Lac d`Annecy, France - Residence les Gentianes

4 Star Apartment in Doussard, Lac d`Annecy, Rhone Alpes, France - Ideal for Summer or for Skiing

Your accommodation is a 4-star apartment on two levels in Doussard, at the southern end of beautiful Lac d'Annecy. One of only 3 separately designed apartments in our building, Résidence les Gentianes was finished in Spring 2003, reflecting modern yet traditional Alpine style.

Résidence les Gentianes is only a few minutes from the shores of Lac d'Annecy and has been awarded 4 stars (based on sleeping 6). Its large balcony has an unobstructed view to the "village's mountain", Montagne du Charbon.

Accommodation on the first level includes a kitchen/living/dining area and the main bedroom, bathroom, toilet and laundry. Two staircases from the living area lead to a mezzanine double bedroom; and to bedroom 3 with bunk beds. A sofa-bed in the living area converts into a full-size double bed, therefore sleeping up to 8 in total. (A travel cot is available, on request). The kitchen is equipped to a high standard, and the large balcony with its view to Mt du Charbon is big enough for eating outdoors and sunbathing (there are two deck chairs). The television receives English-language satellite broadcasts including BBC and ITV digital channels, and there is a selection of DVDs for family viewing. We have wireless internet access that you are welcome to use (subject to compatibility). There is a secure garage, and the ramp has underground heating to prevent icing in winter.

Résidence les Gentianes is available throughout the year. Rentals vary from week to week, particularly between May-September that is the peak season locally, and during school holidays throughout the year. Families wishing to ski at different ski stations on different days have stayed with us because we are fairly convenient for ski-stations nearby at Annecy and Faverges or further afield at Les Saisies, Courchevel, La Clusaz and even for Mt Blanc! Also, our rentals during the ski season are much less than in the resorts.

Bedlinen, towels and an after-stay clean are provided for a fee to cover costs. Electricity for hot water, cooking etc is included in summer rentals; a one-off weekly charge in winter helps to offset heating costs.
