Lake Annecy villas with a pool

Lake Annecy is touted as the cleanest lake in Europe, and at OVO Network, we have holiday villas both lakeside and just a few minutes walk away. For added privacy, many of our guests opt for a Lake Annecy villa with a pool, where they can take a dip to cool off on hot summer days before enjoying a BBQ on the terrace in the evening.

All OVO Network holiday homes feature a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious dining room and lounge room — with a seating area big enough for everyone to enjoy — as well as plenty of modern conveniences such as at least one flat-screen TV, free, strong Wi-Fi, a sound system, a washing machine and a dishwasher. Take a look at our minimum equipment list for full details. We also supply bath towels and linen so you can take a nap on the made-up bed as soon as you arrive if you wish.

When you're ready to explore beyond our beautiful holiday rentals, Lake Annecy offers plenty to see an do around the lake, with the castle at Menthon Saint Bernard open for visits in summer, delicious restaurants in Veyrier du Lac, and lakeside bars to watch gorgeous sunsets lighting the mountains ablaze with orange and red tints from Saint Jorioz. There are also plenty of beaches and ports offering lake activities such as water skiing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding, sailing, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, pedalo boats and much more. Not far from the lake, there are plenty of hikes, bike tracks for both road and mountain biking, plus an excellent golf course near Menthon St Bernard.

If you love golf or the mountains, don't forget that there are plenty of nearby ski resorts which offer summertime fun when the snow melts. From golf courses to outdoor swimming pools with panoramic views and family entertainment in town, there's really something for everyone in places like La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand.

Closer to the lake, enjoy the old town of Annecy with its pedestrianised streets and historic buildings. There's plenty to visit within walking distance from the canals, such as the castle on the hill, the Palais de l'Isle (palace on the island, which was once a prison!), ice cream shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, boutiques, galleries, churches, outdoor art exhibits, and plenty more. Haute Savoie has so much to offer, and Lake Annecy is one of its best kept secrets. Come and see for yourself!
