Simply put this is an exceptional property, owned and managed by intelligent and caring people (Thank You Michel and Nathalie for your hospitality) who have set very high standards for themselves, and are achieving / exceeding those standards. Property has been finished to a very high standard; the bed is quality as is the bedding. The coffee machine is quality and with a generous provision of sachets. We wanted to take the shower cubicle home. The communal area/bar area/hot tub are all excellent and offer very reasonably priced wines/beers/soft drinks. We prepared a meal in this space and had all the equipment we needed. I could go on but we were repeatedly impressed with the attention to detail - and we are fussy. Breakfast was superb. A generous range of products - some expertly home-made and delicious (possibly not made by Michel .....lol) - offered every day. Our hosts were present at breakfast to answer questions and offer advice on tips - this information was also helpful and accurate. The views were great, the pooches were delightful, and the Bus Service into Annecy was cheap/reliable/frequent. We don't usually take so long with reviews but we both felt we should try and reciprocate the thought and effort that our hosts demonstrated at the wonderful property. Sincere thanks from us both - Good Luck with your excellent endeavour.

no issues at all

We loved everything about Le Paon Bleu. The warm welcome from the owners who sat down and talked us through the local area, the things to do, the restaurants and the bus times. The lovely pets (2 dogs, 1 cat). Excellent value for money. The characterful property with it's lovely traditional breakfast room. Fantastic comfortable room. Michel's entertaining chats at breakfast! He played us some of his old Edith Piaf vinyl records one day! The lovely spa pool was very welcome after a tiring day of being a tourist. The benefit of being in a quiet village but having the option to drive into Annecy or get the bus which stops just outside the property every 20 minutes or so. The security of being on a gated property.

There really is nothing to dislike about Le Paon Bleu. We will be returning...........

Nathalie and Michel are wonderful hosts. They will tell you everything you want to know about the area – history, things to do, restaurants. The location is great, in a quiet place not far from Annecy. The bus station is 200 meters, you can go anywhere in the area with the bus – during July and August is free of charge. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated with much attention to the details. For breakfast you have delicious home-made yoghurt, cakes, seasonal fruits and local meat and cheese, everything of very good quality. Parking spaces are available at the property. Thank you again, it was a great stay 😊

Everything was fantastic, Michel and Nathalie couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming, and Michel had us laughing constantly! The facilities were superb, the swim spa and Morrocan room were beautiful. The rooms were decorated beautifully, with facilities to make tea and coffee, and a fridge with water and coke. My husband is gluten-free, and Nathalie made a different gluten-free cake every day for breakfast, which were all delicious. The breakfast was fantastic with views looking out at the mountains. I honestly will miss Le Paon Bleu and wouldn't hesitate to return. I would 100% recommend without hesitation to anyone. Thank you, Michel et Nathalie From Roberto, Maureen, Shaun et Teresa UK 🇬🇧

Leaving

Michel & Nathalie are the perfect hosts we arrived earlier than expected but it wasn't a problem, they took time to show us around and advised us on restaurants and things to do whilst in Annecy. The room was perfect with our own patio area enjoying wonderful mountain views. The room was fabulous with a spa bath and plenty of space. By the pool is a bar/lounge/kitchen area with everything you could possibly want during your stay. We loved the breakfast with lots of local produce and Nathalie's homemade cake. We enjoyed amazing weather whilst in Annecy and it was wonderful to return to Le Paon Bleu to relax and enjoy the facilities. We stayed here as part of a 3 week road trip and without doubt this was our favourite place with the most wonderful hosts and we would not hesitate to recommend.

The property was immaculate. We stayed in a deluxe room on the ground floor with Mountain View and its own terrace. Comfortable bed, great shower and beautiful decor. Breakfast was homemade and delicious. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. They recommended restaurants and places to visit. There is a bus stop approximately 500 meters away. The bus goes into Annecy every 8 minutes.

Nothing

Our hosts were super kind and attentive; we never felt like a bother asking for help with things. They’re also very good at providing recommendations for activities in the area. Also super easy to use public transport in the area and get around!

Fantastic hosts Michel and Natalie . Could not do enough for you . The property is magnificent . Too many excellent things to write on here . Go and see for yourself if you want to visit Annecy but stay in a quieter area . Bus just outside every 8 minutes .

Nothing

I have never ever stayed in such an exceptional place . Perfect hosts, perfect breakfast , stunning accommodation and we cannot wait to return . I cried when we had left

That we had to leave

On-site accommodation, facilities and service was spectacular.

If you want to be in Annecy, this property may not be for you but it was no concern to us - the bus service was excellent and it was nice to be outside of Annecy.
