Talloires and Lake Annecy, around the villa
Set in the French Alps, the picturesque town of Annecy is a favourite destination for travellers seeking a truly exceptional experience.
With its canals winding between colourful buildings and majestic mountains in the background, Annecy offers a spectacular natural setting for a peaceful escape.
From Talloires, on the eastern shore of the lake, you are minutes from the water, the golf course and several Michelin-starred restaurants. It is here, above the bay, that you will find Villa Tomar, a contemporary villa to rent in Talloires. Still undecided between the two shores? Our comparison helps you choose where to stay on Lake Annecy.
