Tips for a peaceful rental for your vacation in Annecy
The seasonal rental is sought after by vacationers coming to Annecy either to enjoy its lake, its mountains, the Animation Film Festival, the Descentes des Alpages, or the Christmas Village of the Alps. There are many opportunities to spend a few pleasant days in the little Venice of the Alps.
We offer you some tips for your vacation rental:
- Apartment or house? If you want to enjoy the lake and do sports around Annecy, your choice will lean more towards a villa. To enjoy the city center of Annecy, its monuments, and its markets, it is more practical to choose an apartment preferably in the Old Town, which is very lively.
- Who to rent from? There are reputable websites for connecting individuals. Payments are secure and listings are verified. You can also rely on word of mouth; recommendations are a guarantee of quality. Do not pay a deposit before ensuring the seriousness of the listing.
- Request a complete description of the rental: It is best to call to clarify its availability if you are dealing directly with the owner. In any case, you should know the rental conditions, the charges, the included services (sheets, cleaning), the address, the area, and the number of rooms. You should also see as many photos as possible to make your choice. Also check the cancellation conditions.
- The presence of a contact on site: this is an essential element for handing over the keys and the exit inventory.
- A seasonal rental contract is mandatory; its proper drafting is a guarantee of seriousness. The Tourism Code specifies: “Any offer or contract for seasonal rental must be in writing and contain the indication of the requested price as well as a descriptive statement of the premises.”
- Geographical location: inquire about its distance from the center of Annecy, from Lake Annecy. If a parking space is included. The Old Town of Annecy is a popular destination, but there is no parking, so you need to plan for public parking on the outskirts. For house rentals, inquire about nearby shops; the tour around Lake Annecy has many convenience stores and supermarkets.
