Secret d'Apolyne “Your romantic getaway in the heart of Annecy.”

I liked that it was close to everything. The neighborhood is quiet which i like. The apartment is pleasant.

Great location and communication from the host was excellent. The owner has put A lot of work into presentation & trying to create a particular ambience. However, the apartment is bizarre in its furnishings with black carpet & mirrored ceilings with plastic flowers. After enter through steel gates, people were smoking on the entry stair well which was more like a factory entrance than an entry to an apartment. Some people may appreciate the quirky erotic baroque ambience trying to be created, but this was not for me & my wife. There was clutter everywhere around the apartment. We tried to book elsewhere & forgo our payment, however there was nowhere else available in town.

This is an extremely unique property, lovingly decorated in a French Renaissance theme by the owner, Stephanie. Stephanie made us feel exceptionally welcome, sending us detailed instructions about the property and how to find our way there. She also provided lots of little extras like delicious iced tea and local jams. The property is ideally located, within walking distance of the bus and train stations and all local attractions. However, it is far enough away from the swarming summer crowds to feel more relaxed. We loved our time in Annecy and thank Stephanie for her care and passion.

This property is immaculately decorated in a style not fit for us. Dark hallway and door entry, black walls, mirrors on the ceiling in the bedroom and bathroom, masquerade masks everywhere, implied love/sex atmosphere, flickering lights, “LOVE” spelled with fake rose pedals on the bed. It is a cross between phantom of the opera, hotel California, cheesy horror flick, and a bordello. Not for my wife and I, but maybe for others to enjoy. We could not stay there and lost our rent. The pictures on the website are fairly accurate, but it does not transfer to the creepy feeling we got when entering. As mentioned, interesting in many ways, just not for us.

...a nice Appartment near the old town,cosy and clean!!
