    Pros +

    • Loved the site, very last minute booking and was perfect for our family of four and dog.
    • Simple, and convenient.
    • Clean with all amenities and comforts apart from a washing machineThe bath was incredible - huge!It took me a day to work out how to use the microwave oven.The management staff were very welcoming and would help me with any requests straight away particularly after I arrived with two young children, a dog and a flat tyre having driven all the way from the UK which was great on arrival and so helpful thank you for your hospitality.

    Cons -

    • Nothing, was great ?
    • Should be been clearer there were only double beds.Children found bedbugs on their sheets, which is not acceptable.
    • I had to make the beds on arrival and couldn’t get one of the sofa beds to open out flat I had to pay a supplement for the sheets which was the same amount as if you pay extra and have the beds made for you my only frustration! The instructions for the microwave oven and induction cooker need to be more precise as to what each symbol means. This would be very helpful.

    The pool, the location, big bathroom.

    Limited cooking space, broken dishwasher, fridge broken but still worked. Only 2 outdoors chairs. Limited time slots for tennis and games room.

    Great and peaceful location. Wonderful views.

    Beds are very hard.

    The guy at the checkin counter was really lovely. He opened up the breakfast room for me after it had already closed and let me sit there for over an hour while I waited for the rest of the group to get back. Nice little apartment and very relaxing surroundings.

    If you are looking to save money and have a short stay this is a good place. I

    The WiFi connection was poor and the tv was cable only which didn’t offer anything to English speaking guest. The pillows were of very low quality making sleeping uncomfortable. The cooking tools were of poor quality. I would suggest your own knives. They expected you to leave it clean, but did not offer much for cleaning supplies.

    8GregoryPosted on: 1-8-2024

    staff was very friendly. Facilities more then met the expectations. We stayed here as a stop on an onward journey and were pleasantly surprised.

    The cleanliness of the rooms could be better.

    Peaceful location, great swimming pool area and lovely staff. Breakfast was good value for money

    4ThomasPosted on: 6-25-2023

    The location was convenient

    The check-in is only after 16.. when our wedding already started. The checkout was at 10!? The breakfast was nice but 10 is very early for a 16 check-in.

    5DominikPosted on: 10-19-2022

    nice location

    -no service at all - you need to take care of everything by yourself (putting the covers on your bedding, cleaning etc.) in order to make everything ready for the next guest-fight to receive keys -the reception opening times are very short-the check out with 10 is very early keeping in mind that you need to do all cleaning and prepare everything for the next person-high price considering that it’s all self servicerooms are already a bit aged

    i like the place and view super good, team was helpfull

    i wish if they can add king bed better than the couch!

    1. The gradual improvement of the staff services. It was quite hard before and at our arrival, but it became very good towards the end of our stay. We would like to compliment especially Ms. Korally for her most freindly and helpful service.2. The isolated location in the nature.3. The swimming pools and the game room.4. The fresh air!

    1. The opening hours of the office. Sometimes it was closed at 18.00. 2. The limited supply of bed linen and toilet paper.3. The opening sofas in our rooms.

    Good location not far from Lac d'Annecy, but much quieter than the lake area. Comfortable sofa bed. Nice balcony for eating/relaxing. No Aircon but the design kept the room reasonably cool.

    The bathroom was not particularly clean. We were able to improve it simply by buying some bleach for the toilet. There was a full sized dishwasher but not enough crockery and cutlery to facilitate using it. We had to wash up as we went along - which is fine but then the dishwasher is a waste.

    The location was convenient as we were attending an event nearby. There is a large parking and so it's easy and convenient to park. All the buildings have lifts which is a plus and all the studios have a balcony which is nice for the ones with a view.

    The check in is only from 4pm which is quite late, with no option to check in early as the reception is simply closed before. The room/studio was not very clean and very poorly equipped (no cutlery, no ashtray, etc.). The balcony was very dirty and full of bird excrement. Each guest is responsible for cleaning up the dishes before leaving, so that says a lot about the hygiene there, especially when they don't even provide washing liquid or any products to clean up! When we got there, we had no sheets or towels in the room as they were out of stock... so we basically booked the accommodation for the night but they didn't have enough linen in stock... They finally offered some sheets later in the evening (not enough for all 3 beds) but no duvet covers not pillow cases. They didn't offer any solutions ("there is nothing they can do about it") and if we hadn't pushed for one, we literally would have had to sleep directly on the used bare pillows and duvets - which they seemed not to have a problem with. Also good to know that they do not provide with shampoo, soap, etc. and there is nowhere you can get some at a walking distance.

    location and price

    in a more global sense than most readers would understand, the lighting. both the lighting inside the rental unit BUT ESPECIALLY the street lighting that prevents one from enjoying the balcony from before dusk until after dawn.

    6AlessandroPosted on: 12-23-2021

    Location is good despite a bit far out

    Very basic accommodation, probably 2-star equivalent.We arrived at 23h and they forgot to provide the bed sheets. As the reception closes at 7pm, we had to sleep without it. You need to clean the kitchen and remove the bedding before you leave.The finishing and decorations would need a serious upgrade (the apartments have probably been built 20 years ago with cheap materials and you feel the age)

    6Jan-heinPosted on: 8-21-2021

    Nice village and surroundings

    At the day of arrival the apartment was not ready at 16:00 but only at 18:00. Such things can happen but the way it was handled by the staff was poor. No apologies, a free drink or whatsoever was offered.
