Description Lightwood & Blue: Annecy

Flanked by The Alps and sitting on the edge of the crystal-blue Lake Annecy, the beautiful medieval town of Annecy is the perfect alpine escape. This apartment sits on the outside of the preserved old town, a twelve-minute walk to the postcard-perfect scene of the Palais sitting against the Le Thiou River. Here you can enjoy a coffee or gelato at riverside cafés. Inside the apartment, you’ll find an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room flooded with sunlight from big windows. There’s an exceptional sense of space here – perfect for social gatherings where the chef can tinker away in the sleek kitchen, keeping a hand in the conversation. Should you need to get a spot of work done, there’s a cute little desk fit for a laptop, and the master bedroom comes with a queen-size bed for a sound sleep. The real bonus here is that you get a clear view of the mountains, rising above the old buildings of Annecy.
