LoftYaute

There are several restaurants in Sevrier itself, some of which have lakeside terraces where you can while away a sunny afternoon. And if you visit in the winter, you're just 35 minutes from the ski resort of Semnoz and less than an hour from the Aravis ski resorts of La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand and Manigod.

About the property ...

This unusual contemporary apartment in the village of Sevrier is cleverly arranged over three levels. There's room for four guests, in two compact double bedrooms, each with their  own en suite shower room or bathroom, making it perfect for two couples.

The entrance hall on the first floor leads to a double bedroom, which is built on a mezzanine floor over the walk-in wardrobe. Despite its compact size, this bedroom has an en suite shower room, a wall-mounted TV and a window looking out on to the staircase and indirectly on the main living area.

The open plan living area is on the second floor, where you'll also find a separate toilet and boiler room. Three skylights flood the living area with light, and the stylish kitchen area has everything you need to cook for a hungry group. There's also a dining table where you can all eat together. At the other end of the living area, a cosy L-shaped sofa is the perfect place to get together and watch a film on the large television, or to make plans for your next day in the Annecy area.

A staircase from the living area leads via an overhead walkway to the second double bedroom, which is slightly larger and has an en suite bathroom.

There is plenty of room to park 2 cars outside LoftYaute.

The apartment is built above another holiday property, Maison Keryaute, which sleeps six, and the two properties can be booked together to accommodate groups of up to 10.

About the area ...

Water sports, lakeside beaches, mountain adventure and a medieval city are all waiting for you when you stay at LoftYaute.

it's just 200m to the beach at Sevrier, where you can swim, paddle board, or just stretch out on the sand and enjoy the mountain views. There are also canoeing, sailing and tennis clubs nearby.

The Voie Verte cycle path runs between the house and the lake, making it easy to get into Annecy without the car. If you feel up to it, you can cycle (or run!) all the way around the lake (44km), but at points the path joins the main road which can get busy, especially during the summer. There are also plenty of steeper cycle routes that take you into the mountains, such as the Col de Leschaux or Le Semnoz, which has featured in the Tour de France. The climb may be steep, but the stunning views are a great reward!

If you'd prefer to explore the lake from the water, you can join a two-hour hop-on, hop-off cruise which visits the villages around the lake - Sevrier has its own stop - or hire your own boat and take your time, perhaps stopping at a lakeside restaurant for a meal. It really is the most relaxing way to spend a day.

Other activities available nearby include golf, paragliding, via ferrata, wakeboarding, swimming and fishing - there's no time to get bored!

If you are staying at LoftYaute in the winter, you can ski at the small resort of Semnoz (20km), where you can buy a lift pass by the hour. The resort of La Sambuy, near Seythenex, south of Lake Annecy, is less than an hour away (30km) and has 10 pistes ranging from green to black. The Aravis stations of La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand and Manigod are all less than 40km away, and offer 220km of superb skiing.

The medieval town of Annecy has a wide selection of restaurants, from family spots to fine dining. On a sunny day, choose one of the canalside restaurants and watch the world go by. There are also some delightful independent shops, three weekly produce markets, and a regular antiques market.
