\"LA PARENTHÈSE\": 4-Star Getaway - Panoramic View over Lake Bourget.

LA PARENTHÈSE is a large, beautiful and well-maintained apartment. We had a very warm welcome, and the hostess is very friendly. We really enjoyed this beautiful apartment, the view is breathtaking.

The adverst on Abritel does this appartment justice: what you see is what you get. The view over the lake is very nice. The appartment has a lot of aminities, though we felt that the frying-pans were somewhat worn. It was VERY hot during our stay, so we really welcomed the airconditioning in the appartment. The big window overlooking the lake is very exposed to the sun during the morning and cannot be obscured (no curtains or blinds), which we found a bit uncomfortable as it would still generate some heat coming in. A simple curtain would be helpful during these hours of the day. All the other windows had roll-down shutters, which were very effective to keep the heat out. The road in front of the property is indeed rather busy during the day. It was not so much the noise that bothered us as the fact that it made it very unattractive to try and get to the lake on foot. We had bikes with us and if you are cautious, you can use them to get to the lake and/or the town centre. The 50 km/h zone starts just in front of the building. Otherwise you have to go by car, which is not that much of problem as we could always find a spot to park. Both the lake and the town centre are just a couple of minutes. The announcement on Abritel was generally very clear but only left us wondering whether we would have to bring bed linen or not. This was quickly resolved by the landlady: she provided for it. The appartment is on the second floor of the building and the building itself is on a hill as well. The parking is at the bottom of the property, so be prepared for a bit of a walk to get to the entrance. The landlady very kindly offered to help us with our luggage, though! All in all it was a very pleasant stay. The appartment is very close to the lake and other places of interest, is well equipped and has airconditioning. We were there in the middle of the high-season, which we felt justified the relatively high price per week.

Very comfortable accommodation, great location, friendly host and beautiful views.

The flat is beautifully decorated, all modern, well equipped and functional. It corresponded well to the description on the site. The views over the lake and , on a clear day, the Massif de Belledone are stunning. The owner was very helpful, especially when we had specific queries. As stated in other reviews, the road underneath is noisy, but if you are out exploring all day, it's manageable. Parking on the property is easy, however, you do need your car all the time, you cannot walk anywhere from the property. We would definitely recommend the flat to other travellers.

Wonderful hosts who made our stay very enjoyable. So much to see in the area, beautiful views and very high standard of apartment. We only wish we could have stayed longer!!
