Holiday Rentals in Haute-Savoie - A Guide to Haute-Savoie
The department of Haute-Savoie is in the region of Rhône-Alpes which is situated in the east of France, bordering Switzerland to its north and Italy to its east.
Holiday rentals in Haute-Savoie are popular due to the fact that this departement, in the Alps, is home to many ski resorts including some rather well known ones such as Chamonix, Morzine and Flaine.
For the non-skier, there is plenty to do and see. The region boasts many lakes including Lake Geneva and Lake Annecy, and in the surrounding landscapes you will come across gorges, caves, waterfalls, glaciers and nature reserves. You will also find many stylish spa resorts including that of Evian-les-Bains, which is situated on the French shores of Lake Geneva.
To reach your Haute-Savoie holiday rental there are plenty of travel options. If you are planning to drive to your ski apartment in Haute-Savoie you will be able to use France’s excellent road network to reach your destination. The E15 Euroroute which runs all the way from Scotland to Spain passes through the area, making it highly accessible.
The area is also well served by international airports at Lyon and Grenoble, both offering flights from low cost airlines such as Easyjet from a choice of UK airports, and meaning that Haute-Savoie holiday rentals are now considerably easier and cheaper to reach. The area is also served by the TGV rail network which runs from Paris to Lyon in only two hours, and onwards to the Mediterranean.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Haute-Savoie
The types of holiday rentals in Haute-Savoie are what you would expect for an area which serves as a popular ski resort in winter and a varied holiday destination in summer.
Apartments to rent in Haute-Savoie are plentiful and whilst you will find all sizes of apartment, the most popular tends to be a two bedroom apartment in Haute-Savoie sleeping up to six people.
I recently saw a really beautiful apartment to rent in Chamonix, set amongst huge landscaped gardens. The apartment is only two minutes walk from the main ski bus stop and a very short walk from the pedestrian centre of Chamonix. In summer you can sunbathe or have a barbeque in the private garden, with the stunning backdrop of Mont Blanc.
You will find a huge variety of Haute-Savoie apartments to rent, but if you prefer something different, I have also seen a luxurious house to rent on the edge of Lake Annecy. The house sleeps up to 8 people and has magnificent designer décor and high quality furniture. It offers all the necessary modern appliances and facilities and even has a 5 seater Jacuzzi from which you can look over the lake and watch the water skiers or the spectacular sunsets.
Of course if you fancy something a bit grander then perhaps a chalet to rent in Haute-Savoie or specifically a chalet to rent in Chamonix could be your thing.
