Fodor's Expert Review Le Clos des Sens
13 rue Jean Mermoz, Annecy, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 74940, France Fodor's Choice
Perched on a dreamy setting in the heights of Annecy, overlooking the city, the azure lake, and the mountains beyond, this Relais & Château property's magical atmosphere extends from the chic design hotel—set in an 1866 schoolhouse—to the three-Michelin-starred restaurant on-site. Along with the views, guests enjoy spacious, light-filled rooms that harmonize with the setting and convery a rustic luxury in the contrast between raw wood beams, marble, wicker, leather, terraces, and natural organic bedding (suites Melisse and Signature have gas fireplaces and there's a duplex for families of up to five). The small outdoor pool is set among a gorgeous terraced kitchen garden whose herbs and flowers will appear later on your dinner plate.
PROS
- to-die-for views
