Chalet Tilleul Chavoire Annecy: 5-Bedroom Lakeside Summer Chalet Rental in Veyrier-du-Lac, A

This exquisite summer chalet rental in Veyrier-du-Lac places you mere steps from the crystalline waters of Lake Annecy, where the Alps rise dramatically behind a shoreline of rare beauty. Chalet Tilleul Chavoire Annecy is a lovingly restored Savoyard residence that brings together refined artistry, generous living spaces, and an unbeatable position on the eastern shore of one of Europe’s purest lakes. With five bedrooms accommodating up to ten guests, a private spa, and a tennis court at your disposal, this is a destination that rewards every moment of your stay with comfort and wonder.

Inside Chalet Tilleul Chavoire Annecy

Step through the entrance hallway and the atmosphere shifts immediately: warm timber beams, polished stone accents, and curated artwork set a tone of relaxed sophistication. The ground floor opens into a generous open-plan living area anchored by a striking three-sided fireplace, its gentle glow visible from the L-shaped sofa, the dining table, and even the adjacent kitchen. This is a space designed for gathering, where conversation flows as easily as the local Savoie wines you might uncork after a day on the lake. A large flat-screen television and a dedicated play corner ensure every member of the household finds their own rhythm. The fully equipped kitchen sits in seamless continuity with the dining room, featuring quality appliances, ample counter space, and a glass door that spills onto a sun-drenched terrace. Also on this level, a bedroom furnished with a queen-size bed (160 cm) and its own adjacent bathroom offers ground-floor accessibility and privacy for guests who prefer proximity to the main living quarters. Ascending the staircase, the upper floors reveal four additional bedrooms, each thoughtfully appointed with plush linens, generous wardrobes, and natural light streaming through windows that frame views of the surrounding garden, the village rooftops, or the shimmering lake beyond. Two further bathrooms serve the upper level, ensuring morning routines remain unhurried even when the house is full. Throughout, the design philosophy blends traditional Alpine character with contemporary comforts: underfoot warmth, soft ambient lighting, and carefully chosen furnishings that never sacrifice style for function.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The grounds of Chalet Tilleul Chavoire Annecy unfold like a private parkland retreat. A broad terrace extends from the kitchen and dining area, furnished for alfresco meals with views across manicured lawns. Fire up the barbecue on a warm evening and dine under a canopy of mature linden trees as the sun drops behind the Semnoz massif. The private tennis court invites friendly competition, while the on-site spa and sauna provide the ideal wind-down after an active day of water sports or mountain hikes. Lake Annecy itself is practically at your doorstep, and the celebrated Plage de la Brune is a gentle two-minute stroll away, offering swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking rentals throughout the summer months. The garden, lush and enclosed, gives children the freedom to play safely while adults relax on sun loungers with a good book and a glass of rosé. Few summer chalet rentals in Veyrier-du-Lac deliver this combination of seclusion and immediate lakeside access.

Exploring Veyrier-du-Lac and Beyond

The village of Veyrier-du-Lac sits on the quieter eastern shore of Lake Annecy, offering a more intimate alternative to the bustling old town while remaining only a ten-minute drive from the city center. Plage de la Brune, just moments from the chalet, hosts open-air concerts and a lakeside restaurant during the summer season. For panoramic views, the Téléphérique du Mont Veyrier (approximately 1 km) carries visitors to an alpine plateau with breathtaking vistas across the Aravis range. Explore our luxury villas in Veyrier-du-Lac to discover even more options along this stunning stretch of shoreline. The medieval old town of Annecy, often called the Venice of the Alps, lies roughly 5 km west, where cobbled lanes, pastel-coloured arcades, and the Palais de l’Île await. The Thursday and Sunday markets on Rue Sainte-Claire are a sensory feast of local cheeses, charcuterie, and alpine honey. Cyclists will relish the flat, traffic-free piste cyclable that traces the full perimeter of the lake (approximately 40 km), while hikers can tackle the Col de la Forclaz (around 20 km south) for paragliding launch sites and eagle-eye panoramas.

Teenagers and adventurous adults will appreciate the proximity to water sports such as wakeboarding, sailing, and stand-up paddleboarding, all available for hire at lakeside centres within walking distance.
