Magnificent - the views will stay with me forever
The location of this chalet is just exceptional & the generous sized balcony meant we could all enjoy them. The property inside is functional & we had everything we needed. There are some lovely walks from the chalet, both towards the mountains & down to the lake. It was a fabulous place to stay with my family.

Comfortable chalet In spectacular setting
The chalet is situated on a very quiet road with spectacular views of the lake and mountains from the balcony. The chalet is spacious and comfortable on 2 floors. We were 6 adults staying with plenty of room however although there are 2 bathrooms ( one upstairs and one downstairs) there is only one toilet. The drive way is long and narrow and parking 3 cars on it was a bit difficult .

Best location on Lake Annecy
The chalet is a short walk up the hill from Menthon centre, literally 5 minutes.
The property enjoys commanding views of the area which are breath taking and certainly well worth the walk.
The chalet has a wonderful balcony which we used everyday for eating and relaxing.
There are four bedrooms so plenty of room for a large family.
Good off road parking which was useful as we did not have to use the car for our whole stay as there is a free bus from the village, number 60, which takes you into Annecy.
I'm a keen cyclist so a large garage was really handy to store my bike.
We can't fault this property, it's exactly as Alexander has published and he is always on line to answer any questions.
We will be returning. Love the place.

Great House with Amazing Views
We enjoyed our stay. Highlight was the view of the mountains chateau and lake from the large balcony.
Large house ideal for 5 of us
Not given 5 stars as there is only one toilet.
But otherwise this house is great and I would recommend

Relaxing stay
We had a great week here; we loved the huge balcony where we spent many hours taking in the views of lake, mountains, hot air balloons, paragliders etc. The house in in a quiet residential area with Chateau de Menthon st Bernard is almost directly above the terrace.
The walk to the lovely local boulangerie is at least 10 minutes via a footpath downhill. Harder coming back! Mr Moine was extremely helpful and quick to respond. Mme Moine was lovely, nothing was too much trouble and this included driving to the nearest supermarket with us following behind to ensure we found it ok.
The house is large , we didnât use the downstairs at all, except one bedroom. We did find the kitchen and bathroom quite basic, could do with modernising. Same for the ground floor outside terrace. The drive is tarmac; narrow and steep. The parking area is gravel though, with a drop onto it especially hard for a low car.
We drove to the beach, thereâs plenty of free parking. We hired a boat on the lake, highly recommended.
We took the bus to Annecy one day , the bus stop is easy to find in village centre.
But the views are what we came for. Beautiful!

Beautiful position and area
Three couples , anazing views from balcony and close to everything- lots of walking, lake beautiful. Driveway in narrow
A family of five had a wonderful vacation in Menthos / Annecy. The house is well equipped for family. The beds are a bit to small. We could walk to the beach (10 min), supermarket and restaurants. The owners were very helpful.

Excellent location with beautiful views 180 degrees. Very convenient and within walking distance to the town below, and an easy drive to Annecy and all around the lake. Inside is a little dated and needs new bedding, including mattresses and pillows -- all very lumpy. (Once these are replaced, will give 4 stars.) Nice laundry room in the basement. Lovely, very sweet owner.
Wir waren mit 4 Erwachsenen im Haus, haben es wegen den vielen Schlafzimmern gebucht. Die Beschreibung passte: Die Lage ist sehr schön mit Blick zum Schloss und zum See und zu markanten Bergspitzen. Das Haus selbst ist einfach, praktisch (Garage fĂŒr FahrrĂ€der o.Ă€.), nicht erneuert (1 WC fĂŒr alle ohne WB), sehr gut ausgestattet, gutes Internet, Betten mĂ€Ăig und Bettzeug französisch, Menthon St. Bernard bietet alles fĂŒr den tĂ€glichen Bedarf. Die Gegend begeistert mit tollen Bergen und dem klaren Wasser des Sees mit vielen Badestellen und mit einem Radwegenetz. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter lĂ€uft problemlos. Wir sagen Danke!
Overall, the chalet is beautiful. Three of the four sleeping rooms as well as the living room and balcony have a stunning 180 degree view. The beds are comfortable and the rest of the house is exactly as described and shown in the pictures. The only downside is that the kitchen does not offer much working space.
We would book it again.
