Talloires is a lovely place and we were lucky that we had good weather. The local freebus service was very useful. Our room had a sunny balcony with super views of the lake. We stayed half board and the food was excellent with very good service. Staff were friendly and I found the hotel to be very clean. if I was coming back to Talloires I would choose this hotel again.

Hotel room was spacious and we had a large balcony. Hotel is not lakeside, but a lot cheaper than those that are, and we could see the lake from the room. Restaurant was very good. One day we caught the ferry which goes round the lake and you can make one stop. We spent the day in Annecy and then caught the ferry back. A great way to travel, especially as the roads are very busy. Lots of great walking nearby too, and Talloire has a nice beach.

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.
