From the owner

One of three individually designed apartments at Résidence les Gentianes, Appt 1 is ideal for Summer holidays or in Winter, including as a base for water sports, paragliding, cycling, walking or for a skiing holiday. We are conveniently located in Doussard at the southern end of beautiful Lac d'Annecy, only a few minutes from the shores of the Lake and its spectacular scenery and facilities; also good for golf; pony riding. It is convenient by car for Annecy itself, as well as Albertville and ski resorts including a nursery slope at Montmin a few minutes away, Le Semnoz nearby, La Clusaz, Les Saisies and Megève. Chamonix and Mont Blanc are also reachable, by motorway.

Résidence les Gentianes is one of only three appartements in a modern building that sleeps 6, downstairs in the main bedroom (UK king size bed) and upstairs in the mezzanine double bedroom and bunks in bedroom 3. Your accommodation is equipped to a very high standard, including a kitchen that's as well equipped as our home in UK - with a Bosch dishwasher; microwave; oven/hob; fridge; washing machine and drier; pots, pans and serving dishes; matching crockery and cutlery etc etc. Our satellite TV includes Freeview UK channels including BBC, ITV and Channel 4 options; and there's a DVD player (and our library of DVDs and CDs). We have a large balcony with a view to Mt du Charbon (and outdoor furniture); and a basement garage (with a heated ramp to prevent icing in winter). An excellent supermarket, bank (with ATM), local shops, and Bar des 4 Chemins (excellent lunches!) all are only a 2 minute walk.

The pricing indicator includes all costs - not only rental of the apartment but also any "extras" that might be mentioned elsewhere in the text.

Further details indoors

Résidence les Gentianes is designed in the traditional alpine style with sloping ceilings and exposed beams. The kitchen includes an oven/grill and hob, fridge with freezer compartment, microwave oven and a Bosch dishwasher. There is also an automatic washing machine and tumble dryer, and an airer, iron and ironing board. The bathroom has a bath with shower, and in the French style there is a separate toilet. There is a dining table with 6 chairs, and a patio table with 6 more chairs that can also be used as armchairs indoors. Satellite TV receives around 30 English-language channels including BBC and ITV, news, music and cartoons. Each bedroom has at least one armchair, and these can be moved into the living area to provide sofa or lounge seating for seven. Wireless internet access is included in the rental, and electricity is included for summer rentals. Bed-linen and bathroom towels are provided for a fee to cover the cost of laundry and a 'standard' after-stay clean. (We trust clients to leave the apartment tidy, but don't expect you to mop and dust before leaving!) Résidence les Gentianes has always booked quickly for the most popular times. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment

Further details outdoors

The large balcony (almost 12m2) is big enough for eating outdoors in the warm weather, and there are two deck-chairs for sun bathing. With the view to the south to Mt de Charbon, the sun shines onto the balcony from around lunchtime until sunset. Access to our front door is via a secure private entrance and a flight of stairs. There are three bicycles that you are welcome to use (at your own risk!) - the piste cyclable that runs the entire length of Lac d'Annecy is only 5 minutes ride from Residence les Gentianes. There's more information about things to do on our own website at annecy.iowners.net. It has more photos, and helpful stuff about how to reach us, whether by road from the Channel Ports or by Air via Geneva or other airports.
