If you’re looking for a great location in Annecy, this home could be the one. Everything you need is on your doorstep, including cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as boutiques, lakeside beaches and cycle trails. Situated on Rue Perrière, the building is actually part of the historic city walls. The street runs parallel to the main canal, and the famous Palais de l’Île is just a short stroll away. In fact, you can see the Perrière Bridge from this home’s living room window. The wooden beams, floors and stone walls give this place a cosy feel. Also, your host has arranged a free secure parking space for guests in a nearby car park – a fantastic bonus in this pedestrianised town.
