Villa les Racines

Villa les Racines Villa Les Racines is a modern, spacious villa on the shore of Lake Annecy, set in a large secluded private garden by the "Roselieres" nature reserve.

Lake Annecy is a fine example of successful community environmental protection. Concerted civic action in the 1960s led to building a state of the art sewage system completely by-passing the lake. Since then the lake has recovered to become one of the cleanest lakes in Europe. Our villa is on the lake shore with views over the clear, blue waters of the lake to the Alpine mountains beyond.

The Ferry tours around Lake Annecy once every couple of hours and you can get off and on at village stations around the Lake. Great way to explore the villages of Sevrier, Saint-Jorioz, Duingt, Talloires, Menthon St Bernard and Veyrier.

A good place from which to contemplate a demanding hike in Entrevernes, the mountain in the distance.

A good glass, a note-book, some patience, and a spare fortnight in the spring - with these i not only managed to discover many unknown facts about the Crested Grebe, but also had one of the pleasantest of holidays. "Go thou and do likewise" - Julian S Huxley.
