renovated cottage, 4 Ch., 20 minutes from the slopes, 10 minutes from the lake and 5 minutes from Aix

We stayed in summer. Josephine was an excellent host, very helpful and communicative. The chalet was perfect for our needs and had everything we wanted. It is set in beautiful grounds, only a 10-15 min walk down the hill into town. Highly recommended.

We were greeted by members of Josephine's family as she was returning from a trip. They were very friendly and informative. We met our hostess later that evening and she graciously welcomed us and was happy to answer any questions that we had. The renovated home is lovely and as another reviewer wrote, "the pictures do not do it justice". Bright and modern on the inside with plenty of room for our party of 6. Our family grocery shopped and we prepared breakfast and a few suppers there and had all that we needed to do so in the kitchen. Our younger family members were happy with the WiFi. There are quite a few seating options on the deck and in the yard, should anyone want to eat outdoors or just enjoy the garden and the beautiful surrounding mountains. We had a rental car and we would highly recommend having one. However, bus transportation is available to Aix les Bains within a short walk (only a few minutes) from the house. Once you are in Aix les Bains the train is available We opted to walk into town each day and ventured out by train to Annecy and Chambery. Be aware that if you wish to walk it can be a bit of a hike uphill coming back. It was good exercise for our family, but others might find it a bit difficult to do. Our family had a wonderful time in the cottage and the incredibly beautiful French countryside. We are very grateful that we found Josephine's vacation home on VRBO!
