The chalet is over 200 years old, and is in the small village of Le Sappey, several minutes by car from Thones. The house has been totally refurbished, and consists of a large open plan lounge and dining room, a kitchen, a storeroom, a large mezzanine, 3 bedrooms (one with ensuite and dressing room), a bathroom, a downstairs toilet and washbasin, a large balcony and garden, and a separate garage.

Down in Thones there are many restaurants and bars, and an open air swimming pool (from May onwards). The ski resort of La Clusaz is just 20 minutes away, as is the beautiful Lake Annecy, where there are several beaches where you can swim in the summer. The wonderful town of Annecy is just 30 minutes away, and Geneva is an hour’s drive away, and is the nearest airport. If there’s a sport or activity that you’re interested in, then it exists here. Skiing, walking, biking, paragliding, swimming etc etc.
