8/10
This is a great house with lovely outdoor space. It was closer to the very busy/ noisy road than I had anticipated but it didn’t bother us too much. We didn’t hire a car which was a mistake as although the house is close to the lake path , the house doesn’t have any direct access to it and you have to walk approx 10-15 mins round the back of the house to find public access down to the road.
It’s quite a steep hill getting back up again if you have bikes. The nearest small supermarket was approx 30 min walk away. Several nice lake front restaurants approx 20-30 minutes walk from the house.
The view from the front master bedroom is glorious. Huge glass windows so you have an uninterrupted view of the mountains and lake that seem to change colour every hour! The balcony off the main bedroom is lovely; in fact the outdoor space is all good with 4 different seating areas giving everyone a place to relax.
The pool was a bit cold but the kids still enjoyed it. Could’ve done with a clean during the week though.
There is a utility room with washing machine, dryer and ironing board so you can pack lighter and do a bit of laundry if needed.
One downside was no air con and only 2 of the 4 bedrooms had ceiling fans so those rooms were extremely difficult to sleep in at night. The ceiling fan in living room didn’t work in the evenings either so you couldn’t sleep on the sofa. Those 2 bedrooms definitely need ceiling fans fitting as not being able to sleep well on holiday is quite a big issue!
As per previous reviews, the house is not spotlessly clean on arrival but it didn’t bother us too much. There is a lot of dust under beds and on fans/ extractors and light fittings etc The bbq hadn’t been cleaned so we didn’t use it.
There is only one toilet upstairs so if you are 8 people this isn’t great. It’s also in a very small windowless room. The only other toilet is downstairs - the 2 bathrooms do not have toilets in them which I think is quite standard in France.
One of the bedrooms doesn’t have any cupboard or clothes hanging space which was inconvenient. The garden couldn’t done with some mowing and weeding.
Some of the furnishings were a bit frayed / shabby - like the rugs and sofas. Looked a bit ikea like which again not a big problem for us but for the price of the villa some people might expect better quality?
Overall a great house but with 2/4 bedrooms too warm to comfortably sleep in,
