Lovely Hotel on the edge of the lake, very polite staff who even let me try my French. Room was large and comfortable, and bed was also comfortable. The spa was very relaxing and readily available. The food was very good, and substantial. it would have been helpful to have a larger range of smaller snacks at the bar

Rooms are impeccable and the hotel positioned in a great spot. Lovely 20 mins walk around the lake to Annecy night life. Would one day like to return in the summer..THANK YOU 🙌🎄
