Nathalie was a caring and concerned host who called me while on her own vacation, to ensure that we had arrived safely and had no problems. We were delighted to find that there was a welcome pack of basic food stuffs (including wine and a range of Nespresso coffee capsules). Other touches added luxury, such as the powerful WiFi which downloaded my daily newspaper in seconds, and the multi channel TV which had my favourite UK channels (not limited to CNN, NBC, Al Jazeera, and BBC World News like most hotels) and the white orchids. The location was delightful, being off the beaten track and just 100 metres from the lakeside, five minutes walk from a supermarket and over the road from a decent restaurant (and 10 minutes drive from my son's home). Furnishing was contemporary and comfortable, the kitchen had all the necessary equipment, as had the bathroom. A small secluded balcony was great for a meal for two looking out over the lake towards Mont Blanc. There was a log burning fire, which of course we did not need in July, but it looked big enough to heat a cathedral.
