Le Château des Comtes de Challes, Hôtel de Charme et Restaurant Gastronomique est situé à Challes les Eaux tout près de Chambéry, dans les murs de l’ancien Château du XVème siècle des Comtes de Challes.

Charcuterie, just-baked goodies, fresh juices, old-fashioned jams & more at breakfast (it’s totally worth the splurge).

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned game of Marco Polo in the pool.

Can you live without free WiFi? Sure. Do you want to? Nope. So they've got it.

Perched between the lake and mountains with sweet views of both.

Bring your furry friends along for the ride. This place is pet friendly.

Challenge unsuspecting fellow guests to a tennis match on the clay court. Then wallop ‘em. Show no mercy.

Free parking means you're not stuck tracking down a spot.

Former mountain hut-turned-fab-home-base with classic Savoie décor throughout.

3-min jaunt from the TGV trains at Gare d’Annecy – and 10-ish from the Old Town and lovely lakefront gardens at Jardin’s de l’Europe.

Skier alert: 30-45 minutes and you’re on the slopes. Bundle up and have at ‘em.

A short walk from old town and the lake, and even shorter (try 50 m) to the train station.

Strolling distance to the lake and the old city.

Pack your bathing suit, they've got a pool.

Hotel pool for when you feel like getting splashy.
