When to rent a villa in Annecy

The French Alps offer a unique and breathtaking experience throughout the year, but the best time to visit Annecy for a villa holiday depends on your preferences. If you're an outdoor enthusiast looking to enjoy water sports, hiking, or biking, the summer months (June to August) are ideal, with warm temperatures and long days allowing for endless possibilities. However, this is also peak tourist season, and the town can get crowded.

If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere and lower prices, consider visiting in the spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October). These shoulder seasons offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and beautiful scenery as the surrounding mountains change colors with the seasons. In the winter months (December to March), Annecy transforms into a snow-covered wonderland, perfect for skiing and other winter sports. If you're looking for a festive atmosphere and don't mind cooler weather, this might be the best time for your villa holiday in Annecy.

Where to go in Annecy

When it comes to choosing the perfect location for your villa holiday in Annecy, France, there are several options to consider. For those looking for a lively atmosphere and easy access to the town's amenities, villas near the old town or in the adjacent neighborhoods of Saint-Pierre or Charmeil may be the way to go. These areas offer a range of restaurants, bars, and shops within walking distance, as well as a short drive or bus ride to the lakefront and its many water sports activities. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more relaxed pace and peaceful surroundings, consider villas located in the nearby villages of Vaulnaveys-le-Haut or Montmin.

For families or groups of friends seeking a beach holiday experience, Lake Annecy's north shore offers a range of villas with direct access to the lake. This area is perfect for water sports enthusiasts, and many villas come equipped with private moorings or boat storage facilities. Additionally, this region tends to be less crowded than the south shore, making it ideal for those seeking a more tranquil atmosphere. Meanwhile, the south shore is popular among couples and honeymooners looking for a romantic getaway, with its stunning views of the surrounding mountains and picturesque villages like Menthon-Saint-Bernard.
