L'Ecrin des vieilles prisons - Canal Annecy

The location of this accommodation was amazing. We were able to enjoy the old heart of Annecy right at our doorstep and even from our windows! The apartment was perfect for us. We enjoyed restaurants just feet from our door. I would recommend this to any couple or solo travellers.

Great location, friendly support from the owners.

Lake Annecy is an outdoorsperson's dream. Hiking, swimming, boating, hiking, skiing, etc...and so beautiful! This apartment is located in the old city, a five minute walk from the lake. It is also in the thick of the action---restaurants, shops, etc.---which is good at times and a little annoying when the revelers get rowdy at 3 a.m. In my mind, this is a very small price to pay for the vicinity to the lake. Tastefully renovated apartment with all the necessities. (I would recommend a fold-down shelf in the living room for folks who live out of a suitcase and a clothes drying rack.) Thank you!

Communication with the owners was efficient and clear. Apartment was clean and in a very central location. Only negative feedback is :- bedroom is very small (no space to move around the bed) and the double bed is a small double and not much use to anyone over 170cm tall- the bedding is not new. We were very hot in the small bedroom so removed the quilt/duvet from the cover and although the cover was clean the duvet was clearly stained and old- sofa bed mattress extremely uncomfortable and very worn in the middle to a point where you end up rolling from the edge to the middle. Also it slopes down from the foot to the head- no plugs in the sink in either the bathroom or the kitchen- there can often be unpleasant smells from the entrance hallway to the apartment door from the restaurant on the ground floor below, although this was not noticeable inside the apartment
