Description

"La Grange de Julie" is in it's own garden, away from the road, and is very quiet even though it is in the middle of the village of Lathuile, and only 1 km away from the lake and 15 km from Annecy. The surrounding views are of the mountains with their ever changing colors : La Tournette, le Col de la Forclaz, le Charbon

Owner-architect Jean-François transformed the almost empty volume of the original barn into our family home, keeping the 18th century beams and adding a few more, as well as a big open fireplace in the ground floor dining room. French windows have replaced the original barn doors so that sunlight flows in all day.

Our five rooms are all different (each with its private bathroom), and needless to say that the heating, hot water and bathrooms are completely up to modern standards! We also offer a family room for four people.

The house is furnished with a mixture of family heirlooms, books, toys old and new, colorful bedspreads and hand-embroidered cushions, books everywhere (mostly in English!), a piano ... almost everything has a funny story to it, and is meant to be used and enjoyed.

Breakfast is served every day ! inside or out, depending on the weather. As we only rent a few rooms, the house is never overcrowded and the atmosphere remains that of a comfortable, peaceful, private family home, that it is our pleasure to share with our guests.

When you get right at the other end of the lake (called «Bout du Lac» after Duingt and before getting to Doussard), turn right in direction of Lathuile till you get to the roundabout. Turn right again at the roundabout (route de Chevilly), la Grange de Julie is 450 metres (n°450) further on, on your right again.
