Hotel, private apartments in a castle, vacation homes, guest rooms… Their common denominator? A rejuvenating environment and a heated indoor swimming pool.

We swooned over the dishes of Jean Sulpice, the two-star chef of the Auberge du Père Bise, we strut now in his spa of 480 m2 with indoor pool (12 x 3 m) open on Lake Annecy.

His wife Magali, the hostess of this 5-star Relais & Châteaux, imagined with architect Xavier Salerio an Alpine setting dedicated to well-being.

Here, happiness is summed up in a simple formula: "Your feet in the water, your head towards the mountains."

Auberge du Père Bise (04 50 60 72 01).

From 320 € per double room.

Access to the swimming pool by reservation (one hour slot).

800 m from the beach of Ver-sur-Mer, the Château Côte de Nacre, a 19th century building surrounded by 4 ha of woods and meadows where calves, cows, sheep graze ... invites a bucolic disconnection.

Children love to feed animals (rabbits, goats, ducks, etc.) and collect chicken eggs.

After a day in the fresh air, in the countryside or on the Landing beaches, everyone will appreciate the heated swimming pool (6 x 4 m) and the relaxation area.

Château Côte de Nacre (06 87 13 30 71).

5 apartments of 80 to 115 m2.

From 188 € per day.
