Hotels in Location de vacances, Annecy
Updated 10 July 2026 · 10 real hotels
Location de vacances is not a defined neighbourhood but rather a category of self-catered holiday rentals spread across the Annecy area, making it a flexible choice for families, couples and groups who prefer apartment living over a traditional hotel. It suits travellers who want kitchen access, more space and the freedom to explore both the lake and the surrounding Alps at their own pace.
Your stay in Location de vacances, in one conversation
Charlize builds hotels, activities and dining around your wishes, dates and budget.
Annecy sits at the northern tip of one of the clearest lakes in Europe, ringed by limestone peaks and threaded through with canals that earned it the nickname the Venice of the Alps. Staying in a self-catered rental here gives you room to breathe: a kitchen for picnic lunches before a day on the water, space to dry hiking kit, and the flexibility to eat on your own schedule after an evening walk along the lakefront promenade. Properties in this category are scattered across the wider Annecy area, from central streets within walking distance of the Old Town and the Thiou canal to quieter suburban addresses with parking and garden access.
The rental options listed below range from compact one-bedroom apartments suited to a couple or a small family, starting around 151 EUR per night for the Mountain Home With Heated Pool and Hot Tub, up to larger five-person properties such as Birdie F Ndeg21 at 504 EUR per night. Several of the apartments reference Geneva in their names, which reflects the fact that the Annecy region sits roughly 40 kilometres south of the Swiss border and draws guests travelling between the two cities. Bus and train connections link Annecy to Geneva Airport in around an hour, making these rentals a practical base for visitors arriving by air through Switzerland rather than Lyon or Paris.

Frequently asked questions
What does 'Location de vacances' mean in the context of Annecy accommodation?+
The phrase simply means 'holiday rental' in French. It describes self-catered properties such as apartments, chalets and houses available for short stays, as opposed to serviced hotel rooms. In Annecy, this category covers everything from city-centre studios to larger homes with outdoor amenities like pools or hot tubs on the outskirts of town.
Why do some Annecy rentals mention Geneva in their name?+
Annecy lies in the Haute-Savoie department, close to the French-Swiss border. Geneva is roughly 40 to 50 kilometres to the north, and Geneva Airport is a common entry point for visitors to the region. Some hosts highlight the Geneva connection to attract travellers who fly into Switzerland and then head south to the lake, or who plan to visit both cities during the same trip.
Is a self-catered rental a good choice for a first visit to Annecy?+
It depends on your travel style. Rentals give you extra space, kitchen facilities and often better value per person for groups or families. However, if you want daily housekeeping, a reception desk and on-site breakfast, a traditional hotel may suit you better. For longer stays of four nights or more, the comfort and practicality of a self-catered apartment tend to outweigh the lack of hotel services.
How easy is it to get around Annecy without a car when staying in a holiday rental?+
The town centre is compact and very walkable: the Old Town, the lake beaches and the main market square are all reachable on foot from centrally located rentals. The local Sibra bus network covers most of the urban area, and cycling is practical thanks to a well-maintained path that circles the lake. For day trips into the Alps or to nearby villages, having a car or booking a guided excursion gives you much more freedom.
