Holiday Cottages Alps

£310 - £440

This typical old Savoyard farmhouse is situated at a height of 900 metres in the Abondance Valley, a very beautiful pre-Alpine valley, famous for its brown and white breed of cows and cheese of the same name. Thonon les Bains and Evian lie at the bottom end of the valley, on the shores of Lake Geneva. The area provides splendid walking country, as well as having lake and pool swimming nearby, and white water sports on the nearby River Dranse. Excursions can be made to Annecy, Chamonix and Mont Blanc, while Geneva is around an hour away by car.

With its lower part in stone, and upper part in wood, the property has been completely restored and modern amenities installed, whilst keeping its character intact. It is comfortable and spacious, with splendid views across the valley and to the mountains beyond. The large living kitchen on the ground floor is well equipped, and has a French window leading out onto a grassy terrace for outside eating. Also on the ground floor are a single bedroom and shower room with washbasin and wc. On the second floor is a large living room created out of what was once the barn, together with two double bedrooms and a further bathroom with bath, shower, washbasin and wc. Attached to the house is a garden / meadow, for which outside furniture and barbecue are provided.
