We have just come back from a wonderful holiday in Saint Jorioz, near Lake Annecy. The house was immaculately presented, the garden bursting with colours, and the views extraordinary. The owners made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The house had everything we needed for our family (including a child of 4 years of age and our old Labrador). The location was perfect for us, 700m above sea level and a little out of the main track; as we were seeking a calm and private retreat. Yet, in 6 minutes you could drive to St Jorioz, for the main amenities you would need, and in 15 minutes you would be in Annecy town, a wonderful place with plenty sporting opportunities on offer. The views were as impressive at the start as on our last day, and we wished we could have stayed longer. One small hinderance were the flies that came with the cattle pasturing opposite the house at circa 200 yards, but they diminished as the cattle was moved further afield. We would recommend this property to those seeking privacy above all, stunning views of mountains and lake, as well as a comfortable and homely stay.
