About this cottage rental
Comfortable gîte situated in a hamlet overlooking lake Bourget. The gîte is within easy reach of the Hautecombe Abbey, which contains the tombs of many illustrious Counts of Savoy as well as the last kings and queens of Italy.
A few minutes walk from the gîte, the restaurant at the ‘Belvedère de Grumeau’ will provide refreshments accompanied by magnificent views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
Walkers will enjoy the numerous hiking trails. Cyclists have the ‘Tour du lac Bourget’ which passes right by the village and climbers can scale the ‘Via Ferrata du Cornillon’ and marvel at the views from the Col-du-Chat.
From boat and bike hire, sailing courses and skydiving to a leisurely boat trip discovering the Canal de Savière, Lac du Bourget and the Rhône.
For wine enthusiasts; close by are the vineyards and wineries of Marestel, Jongieux, Monthoux and Chautagne.
Villages and towns; the ports, beaches and restaurants of Conjux, Chanaz, Bourget-du-Lac and Chindrieux are about ten to fifteen minutes by car. Chambéry, the capital of Savoie and the spa town of Aix-les-Bains are both easily accessible.
A little further; the winter sport stations of ‘Savoie Grand Revard’ & ‘Aillons-Margériaz’ and at less than an hour the Walibi amusement park, covering 35 hectares with 31 attractions.

A big thank you to our hosts, the cottage was lovely, well equipped, comfortable and very clean. The area was beautiful with amazing scenery. We especially enjoyed the views from the Dent du chat, the boat trip from Chanaz and a soothing afternoon spent at the thermal baths in Aix les Bains... Five days wasn't enough!

As a couple we had an enjoyable stay. We would like to come back to the area. The location of the house is good if you are looking for a quiet hamlet stay. If town shops are what you want this may disappoint you. The whole area around Lac du Bouget is stunning. iIf you want access to quieter beaches than Aix les Bains, then Conjux just 15 minutes away is good with safe, clear and supervised swimming for kids (and adults). The house was immaculate and well presented. Jim and Rose were very helpful and willing to provide practical information. Excellent and spectacular sites (and sights) such as the Dent du Chat and Mont Revard not to far away. Good walking area too. Three lakes within the area. Lac du Bouget (the best,,) Annecy (way to busy and crowded) and Lac du lit du Rio near Belley.

The property over all was superb and the surrounding area was beautiful.
The owners were very helpful and could not have done more to make our stay more relaxing.
A few things to note and do not let these put you off in any way they are just observations, when reading the Home and away website ad, it looks like the property has a microwave and an oven because of the columns. It is a microwave oven, This may limit some cooking options and was something I did not spot.
Also the ad says towels provided, we did get an email before travel to say they would not be provided, but it was a consideration when booking, as space is a big issue when there are 5 in a car.
Also a big consideration was internet with 3 teenageers, there is internet but it is very very slow.
We would definitely return and would recommend it to friends and family.

Loved the property but the location was a problem for us. It was quite remote, half hour round trip to get a baguette and difficult to go out to dinner and drive back on the twisty road at night. We adapted by going out to lunch instead, lots to see and do in the area and lovely hosts.
