Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked into the Bay of Talloires, the inn sits between the wooded Roc de Chère reserve and peaceful lakeside walking paths.
The rooms
Interiors pair restrained alpine tones with vintage prints, framing views across the bay toward the peaks of La Tournette.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A suspended heated indoor pool plays underwater music beneath timber rafters, looking straight out over Lake Annecy.
The spa
A concrete eucalyptus hammam and spruce-wood sauna accompany treatments using natural Olivier Claire botanicals.
Dogs stay too.
