La Maison de Promery - Country house near Annecy 1.74

Annecy is one of the most beautiful places for a holiday in the world. Nestled at the foot of the Alps, its lake is the cleanest in Europe,a delight for swimming, water skiing, sailing and other water sports. Its mountains offer beautiful hikes, skiing, climbing, parascending, cycling, rafting, hot air ballooning and almost any sport imaginable. Medieval town, lake and film animation festivals, access to the Tour de France mountain stages along with close proximity to Geneva for the Motor Show and many other events at Palexpo at specific times of the year make it an all year round destination.

Situated In Proméry village, La Maison de Promery is a sunny 'maison bourgeoise ancienne' 7km from the lake and town centre by car with Chamonix Mont Blanc just an hour away. The colours are glorious in spring and autumn and a well-earned aperitif after a hard day's adventuring, watching the horses grazing in the field in front, sunsets over Annecy and panoramic alpine vistas is a treat. Inside the house, it is light and airy thanks to its huge lounge-dining room windows. An archway leads to the well equipped kitchen, so the worthy cook is never alone! Up the old oak staircase find stylish bedrooms; the master with a great arched window, and downstairs a garden-facing double/twin. The feel is comfortable, fresh and homely, with good beds, crisp linen, attractive rustic and hand painted furniture. Outside a winding pathway leads to a dining terrace and barbecue in a gorgeous three level garden, then up to an enchanting woodland, another aperitif spot or place to read, with babbling brook below. Overall, a peaceful getaway with something for everybody.
