Lovely apartment in lovely Thones!

Myself, my husband and our 5 year old daughter have just returned from a fantastic stay at this apartment. There was everything we needed and most importantly it was comfortable, clean and felt completely safe! The house it well maintained. Our stay was made even better by our lovely hosts Anne Marie and Pierre who live below. They were at our desposal but we were never bothered or did you ever hear them. The garden and surrounding views of this property is beautiful. The house is located in a gated garden which was perfect for our daughter. It was all very well kept. This was our first visit to Thônes and Lake Annecy and we were not disappointed. The whole are is just beautiful with lots to do 😊
