Very nice villa, with a nice pool. Good communication with the owner, clean house, nice location. We were a group of 12 cyclists who had a very nice holiday in a perfect house
Beautiful house full of character with 3 separate outdoor seating areas. Quiet village with lovely surrounding countryside. 10 minutes drive to the Carrefour.
Great base for walking, visiting Annecy and staying in for long lunches.
Loved it.
We had a super holiday at this place. The communication with Jean Louis was really clear, friendly and in English (nice for us non French speaking).
The house was even better than the pictures. A really warm atmosphere with many places to sit down both in the Sun and shade. The pool was big, clean and well maintained. The area around the house is great for hiking, cycling etc.
Overall we had a excellent stay and we hope to come back at this place somewhere in the future! Can realy recommend this place!
The house is in a beautiful setting with lovely views and close to the lake beaches at bourget. We spent most of our time by the pool and the fantastic outside area which was perfect for our group of friends and children. The pool was a little chilly at the end of August, but refreshing on a hot day. The house was clean with most rooms decorated in an older style with antique french furniture. Only downside was the bathroom set-up for a group of friends with 1 shower off 1 of the bedrooms, a bath off one of the bedrooms, 1 separate toilet and a shower room in the laundry area with its own toilet.
Large house with plenty of space for us, a group of 11 in a quiet neighborhood. It has two living rooms a seperate dining room and 5 bedrooms. It could do with an extra bathroom/toilet.
The house remains cool during summer because of it's thick walls and outside hatches on the windows.
The lush garden offers several terraces, a large pool, and beautiful views of the valley and the Dent du Chat, a nearby mountain.
The owners speak English very well which makes it easy to communicate. The local contact/caretaker however doesn't speak any English making it difficult to communicate in detail.
There are plenty of walks in the mountains nearby as is Lac du Bourget.
The village itself doesn't have any shops/boulangerie so you need a car to do your (grocery) shopping.
Pool room and outside Pingpong table were frequently used, as was the pool.
Let the caretaker open and close the pool cover for you as it appeared to be fragile.
I am a little hesitant to write this review as I don't want so many people knowing about such a great place. Approximately 10 of my friends and myself spent a week at this immaculately maintained farmhouse in Massignieu De Rives. It is easy to find using GPS and the surrounding area is incredibly scenic with lots of different things to do, such as hiking, biking, swimming, etc. The only drawback was that the house was so comfortable that it was hard to leave! The very gracious owners greeted us upon arrival and took us on a personal tour of the house and it's surroundings. You could tell that they take a great deal of pride in the property. The pictures do not do this place justice. The house is quite big and can easily accommodate a large group of people without feeling like you are tripping over each other. We spent most of our time out on the terrace, which offers amazing views, and by the pool. The house is a 10 minute drive from both a large supermarket and a train station which has direct connections to Lyon and Geneva. The bedrooms are all very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped to handle the cooking required for a party of 10-12. In summary, this house and it's relaxing surroundings offer a great getaway for a group of friends or family and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again in the future.
Nous avons passe une excellente semaine, merci a la fraicheur de cette vieille maison, magnifiquement restauree et a sa grande piscine. Une mention particuliere pour la gentillesse et la disponibilite du gestionnaire Yves et a la reactivite du proprietaire, qui ont remplace le lave linge en pznnexen 24h!Nous reviendrons sans aucun doute.
We stayed here for a fantastic 2 weeks. Ideal location for exploring the French countryside. House was very large and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space (7 people)..with easily another 4. Everything needed for our holiday was within the house. Pool was great for the kids. Good outside space for shooting. Information pack within the house was really useful. No shops in village so we did a shop in Belley along with the bread shop. We wouldn't hesitate booking this house again. 5 stars!
Prachtig vakantiehuis in een heel mooie streek. Het vakantiehuis was goed in orde en het was zalig zwemmen in het zwembad. Het was heerlijk om buiten op het terras te eten. Een klein minpuntje was de fiets. Deze was niet geschikt voor de omgeving. We hebben volop genoten van onze vakantie en vonden het jammer om terug te moeten rijden.
TrĂšs bel endroit, trĂšs "maison de famille" qui donne au lieu un esprit accueillant et chaleureux.
Le cadre avec la vue sur les montagnes est superbe.
