Les Ô d'Annecy
$175-320/ natt
Boka detta om You want a confidential, couples-only style retreat where the host cooks authentic Thai food in the French Alps.
Varför människor älskar det
- The 'lounge in the trees' — hammocks and seating suspended in century-old pines
- Ta's surprise Thai table d'hôtes dinners (a rare find in Savoy)
- Elevated panoramic views of Lake Annecy that most lakeside hotels miss
Snabb Överblick: It’s less a hotel and more like staying at the wealthy, tasteful country estate of a friend who happens to be an amazing chef.
Recenserat av @theboutiqueadventurer: I stayed here for a weekend reset and it was exactly what I needed. The view from the pool is even better in person, and the breakfast felt so personal and homemade. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel your shoulders drop.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.

Is the pool open in winter?
Yes, the indoor pool is heated and open during the hotel's operating season (Feb-Nov).
Can I bring my dog?
No, pets are not allowed. The hosts have their own dog, Pad Thai, who rules the roost.
Is it suitable for kids?
Only if they are 12 or older. The atmosphere is geared towards adult relaxation.
How far is the lake?
It's about a 5-minute drive or a 20-minute downhill walk (uphill on the way back). You are not right on the water's edge.
Is there air conditioning?

Insider-tips
- ✨
Ask Ta about her Thai cooking classes or if she's making a curry that night—it's legendary among past guests.
- ✨
The 'Sentier des Roselières' (Reed Bed Path) nearby is a stunning, flat walk along the lake often missed by tourists driving by.
- ✨
Order the 'Planche Repas' (meal board) for your first night if you arrive late and tired; it's generous and local.
