Comfortable chalet In spectacular setting
The chalet is situated on a very quiet road with spectacular views of the lake and mountains from the balcony. The chalet is spacious and comfortable on 2 floors. We were 6 adults staying with plenty of room however although there are 2 bathrooms ( one upstairs and one downstairs) there is only one toilet. The drive way is long and narrow and parking 3 cars on it was a bit difficult .

Best location on Lake Annecy
The chalet is a short walk up the hill from Menthon centre, literally 5 minutes.
The property enjoys commanding views of the area which are breath taking and certainly well worth the walk.
The chalet has a wonderful balcony which we used everyday for eating and relaxing.
There are four bedrooms so plenty of room for a large family.
Good off road parking which was useful as we did not have to use the car for our whole stay as there is a free bus from the village, number 60, which takes you into Annecy.
I'm a keen cyclist so a large garage was really handy to store my bike.
We can't fault this property, it's exactly as Alexander has published and he is always on line to answer any questions.
We will be returning. Love the place.

We enjoyed our stay. Highlight was the view of the mountains chateau and lake from the large balcony.
Large house ideal for 5 of us
Not given 5 stars as there is only one toilet.

Relaxing stay
We had a great week here; we loved the huge balcony where we spent many hours taking in the views of lake, mountains, hot air balloons, paragliders etc. The house in in a quiet residential area with Chateau de Menthon st Bernard is almost directly above the terrace.
The walk to the lovely local boulangerie is at least 10 minutes via a footpath downhill. Harder coming back! Mr Moine was extremely helpful and quick to respond. Mme Moine was lovely, nothing was too much trouble and this included driving to the nearest supermarket with us following behind to ensure we found it ok.
The house is large , we didn’t use the downstairs at all, except one bedroom. We did find the kitchen and bathroom quite basic, could do with modernising. Same for the ground floor outside terrace. The drive is tarmac; narrow and steep. The parking area is gravel though, with a drop onto it especially hard for a low car.
We drove to the beach, there’s plenty of free parking. We hired a boat on the lake, highly recommended.
We took the bus to Annecy one day , the bus stop is easy to find in village centre.
But the views are what we came for. Beautiful!

Stunning property in a stunning area!
A gorgeous place to spend time, waling distance from all necessities, supermarket, bakery, café culture, and down to the bus stop which, for 1.5 euros takes you to the Centre of Annecy.
Hired bikes, completed paragliding, even had a few climb the Col de Colombiere for a cyclists dream, and had fantastic days by the lake, the list of things to do is endless.
The property is owned and maintained by a fantastic family and they could not do enough to help , and I would recommend this property to any one wanting a fantastic time in and around Annecy...You will not be disappointed and we will be back for sure!

Maison idéale famille
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour avec nos trois enfants (4,7,9 ans). La maison est impécable, sécuritaire et sa localisation est idéale pour les ballades en montagne, la plage et tous les services.
La vue sur les montagnes, le lac et le château est impressionnante.
Alexandre et sa maman qui s'occupent de la location sont tous les deux vraiment très gentils, retournent rapidement les courriels/appels et tout se déroule exactement comme prévu.
Bonnes vacances!

Spectacular views
Excellent location with beautiful views 180 degrees. Very convenient and within walking distance to the town below, and an easy drive to Annecy and all around the lake. Inside is a little dated and needs new bedding, including mattresses and pillows -- all very lumpy. (Once these are replaced, will give 4 stars.) Nice laundry room in the basement. Lovely, very sweet owner.

Schöner Ort zum Wiederkommen
Wir waren mit 4 Erwachsenen im Haus, haben es wegen den vielen Schlafzimmern gebucht. Die Beschreibung passte: Die Lage ist sehr schön mit Blick zum Schloss und zum See und zu markanten Bergspitzen. Das Haus selbst ist einfach, praktisch (Garage für Fahrräder o.ä.), nicht erneuert (1 WC für alle ohne WB), sehr gut ausgestattet, gutes Internet, Betten mäßig und Bettzeug französisch, Menthon St. Bernard bietet alles für den täglichen Bedarf. Die Gegend begeistert mit tollen Bergen und dem klaren Wasser des Sees mit vielen Badestellen und mit einem Radwegenetz. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter läuft problemlos. Wir sagen Danke!

Vacances exceptionnelles
Le gîte est spacieux, rustique mais très bien équipé, rien ne manque. Il est idéalement situé sur les hauteurs de Menthon-Saint-Bernard au calme. La terrasse spacieuse nous a offert pendant 15 jours une vue époustouflante. Quel plaisir de se lever tous les matins et prendre son petit déjeuner sur la terrasse avec une telle vue. Aucun souci non plus pour emporter les vélos et parquer la voiture au gîte. Et que dire de la région, il n' y a pas de mots. Bref, à l' année prochaine 😀

The cottage was very nice we had a super nice view. The environment was also very beautiful. Unfortunately, we did not see the owner, but the communication was very good via the app. Even after we got home. We were there with our adult children with their partners, they also enjoyed it very much. At the water you had a nice restaurant chalet du por menthon SA where they are very friendly and could eat well. We looked up the mountain and saw paragliders coming down constantly. The kids have done it too. The view of the lake was also beautiful. Annecy is a nice town and lots to do at the lake. Also done a day in Geneva and Les Gorges Du Fier also recommended. This is repeatable.
