We arrived at Lake Annecy and by chance drove along the Northern Side, it was very peaceful and we decided to stay rather than press on into Italy.
After making enquireies at a couple of other hotels which had not yet opened for the Summer, we booked into the Hotel Charpenterie.
The room was very comfortable and the village was really quiet as the road bypassed the village centre.
Food in the Restaurant was Superb as was the Service.
I had Fera which is a White Lake Fish that I had never heard of before. (Probably not from Lake Annecy but still very nice)
Please note that the Hotel is avillage Hotel with a Lake View but is not on the Lakeside, There is a public Promenade and Beach about 5 minutes walk away.

I have recently returned from a week's holiday at the Hotel la Charpentarie in Talliores.
We had a double room on the second floor facing the road, the room was rather bare and a little tired but had a lovely cosy balcony with a small table and 2 chairs. The bathroom was a little dated but fully functional and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful, my only gripe is that on checking in we weren't told the dinner or breakfast times or where the restaurant was located - we had to find out this for ourselves. The staff in the restuarnt were really lovely and made our stay all the more enjoyable, the food was fantastic although no choice but I think that is why it was of such a high standard. Due to the pleasant weather we ate dinner outside on the terrace which was a nice touch. The breakfast was continental, bread, croissants, fruit, yogurt and cereal but plenty to keep us going.
The week we stayed was very hot, and the hotel is not air conditioned but we slept fine and considering we were on the road side we weren't kept awake by street noise, even with the balcony doors wide open - this is a village after all so it wasn't like being on a busy main road.
Talliores is very pretty and we took a boat to nearby Annecy which is well worth a visit, there is also a lot of outdoor activities in the area - cycling, walking, swimming etc but you need the good weather, there isn't much to do here if it rains. I would recommend this hotel and I would stay again but I would pay the extra for a lake facing room as they were slighter bigger and had a better view.

Probably the best view of the lake and super cosy rooms in Talloire, the most romantic little village by the lake. This is my 4th summer going back and probably my 6th time staying at La Charpenterie - it is simply a marvelous place to stay and already feels like home.
Super friendly owners and a superb kitchen in the hotel's restaurant. The lake, a bakery and a small grocery store with a great selection of vine is all within 1 - 5min walk.
This place is so relaxing!
Can't wait to go back the next week-end!!

I loved being located in the centre of town, which forced me to walk the lovely streets down to the lake shore and elsewhere. My rroomeservation was made late, so my room was not great. I am tall, and the room was on the top floor so I couldn't stand in the WC. But it was clean and well attended to with a nice view of the mountain. The inn keepers and their staff were attentive and helpful. I especially enjoyed the restaurant where the food and the staff were a delight.
