The hotel was nice. The location for quiet and fresh air was perfect. The staff was good. My major issue was the construction. Their site stated that the construction would begin at 9:30. While not ideal, this was acceptable to us. At 8:03am the diesel loaders were all started up, at 8:06 the back up alarms went offf on the dump truck. All things were beautiful up until that point when I was awaken that way. If they had been transparent and disclosed that the construction would start at 8:00 I would have simply booked elsewhere.

Situated on a hill overlooking the mountains and Lake Geneva, the castle is a beautiful property.

The restaurant options were limited, but the preparation and presentation were excellent. Our waiter was outstanding, but some of the wait staff were not as attentive as we would have expected for the quality of the property.

A beautiful restoration of a beautiful property with top-notch service and warm and inviting people who go out of the way to keep us comfortable. Despite its striking beauty as a historical property and its stunning surroundings with views of Mt Blanc and Lac Léman as well as full ranges of the Alps, it also has modern amenities that blend character with practicality. We stay here every year.

Beautiful Chateau

Very nice Chateau with modern and clean rooms.
Walking between the main castle and the house with hotel rooms is a bit inconvenient but ok.
The restaurant for dinner was busy and perhaps under-staffed. We experienced quite a wait to order and I had to ask literally 5-times to get a bottle of water. The food was good and the waiters were generally nice.

If we could give 100 stars we would. This chateau, the staff, dining and amenities are all hidden gems in the countryside outside of Annecy. From the time of check in to the check out, everyone was helpful and pleasant. The staff at the restaurant were fantastic and offered great recommendations. If you are questioning whether or not to book; do it and do not hesitate. You will surely regret if you don’t stay and one night is most definitely not long enough.

This is an amazingly beautiful hotel, both inside and out. The staff is very friendly, but maybe only half speak English.

Great family stay

This place deserves more than five stars. If I can give it 100 I would. I only wish that I found this place sooner, I would’ve booked an additional two nights instead of staying in Geneva.

Our hotel in Geneva was the same price, and piled in comparison to the IMPECCABLE service and quality we’ve experienced here.

We love the Sonade Suite! The balcony parlour was an added surprise! it was foggy during our stay, but it would’ve been a fantastic breakfast at the Sun been out. So we decided to take breakfast downstairs.

Make sure to book a dinner reservation here we had a four course meal, and it was divine!


There is also a boutique, fitness center, and a steam room. The staff at this Château, was incredible.


Every single guest we’ve encountered at this hotel was super happy to be here. It’s literally an enchanted place!!!

We stumbled on this hidden gem en route to Geneva. We booked a suite for a family which was away from the main hotel we used the car a walk to the main hotel with small children would be possible but tricky. The staff were superb, the food in the restaurant exquisite, the food for the children sublime. Yes it’s expensive but it was worth it. The only thing the hotel lacks is a pool. We would definitely head back there.

À night in the squirrel house

The disappointment was that we expected to stay in the chateau not the modern annexe cutely named the squirrels house. I suspect we didn’t pay enough attention when we booked and actually it was fantastic - a suite with a splendid view towards the lake , clean, modern very comfortable! Dinner was very good - the menu was a little minted but the food was excellent quality and the service good. Breakfast was excellent with the nice addition of a plate of gooey French toast - I’ve stayed in hundreds of French hugely and this is not the norm- it was lovely comfort food!

I am not sure if this is Expedia’s fault in presenting the options or the property’s fault for submitting the information, but you must be aware there are TWO buildings at this property, and one of them is nor a chateau, but rather a modern building approximately 500 yards away from the main building. And modern looking rooms are located in that building, not in the main chateau, which we discovered only after arriving. The modern building’s rooms are nice and, well, modern, and clean, although we had our share of issues. Some were minor - like their fancy Sonos audio system that requires app installation on a smartphone was playing music only in a bathroom. Some were annoying: apparently one of the rooms has a fireplace and when guests in that room started the fireplace, our room was filled with smoke smell. Probably related to that but around midnight a fire alarm has started blasting its siren causing a bit of a panic - we called the reception and they told us, laughing, that it’s ok and the alarm will go away in a few minutes. But other than that it was a nice experience, and the location is definitely worth checking out.

The website advertises rooms in the chateau. At check-in, after having paid, management informed us we would be staying in an annex of the chateau. This uninteresting 21st century construction provided shelter, but was remote from important facilities, such as the restaurant, which was located in the chateau. Thus, we had to drive to eat a meal in the restaurant of our own hotel.

Amazing property with a very interesting history.

The staff truly make this destination one to remember. While to property may not compare directly to a top tier Relais et Chateaux property for the smallest of reasons your experience and memories will be treasured for a long time.

Delightful architecture, colourful history, a variety of dining rooms and amazing views of the Mont Blanc Massif make this a destination to add in yo anyone's calendar.

The food was what you would expect from the brand, the staff were exceptional and yet the property still displayed a slightly casual and very homely feel.

The beds were very comfy and even though the rooms were slightly on the small size because of the age of the property the decoration and fittings made up for what you might feel you missed.

Beautiful French Alps

Located in beautiful French Alps, this is one of those hotels you must experience. Staffs are wonderful. Sunrise and sunset are some of the most beautiful sights to behold (provided the weather permitted). A car is a must for this location. We stayed 8 days, and drove to many destinations from here. Mont-Blanc/Chamonix is 1 hour drive (check the cable left status before you go). Lyon is about 1 5 hour drive. I suggest don't drive to Lyon, we tried to find a parking space for an hour and gave up. Visit many Switzerland cities. Zermatt is a must, but it takes 4 hour driving. We have to stay in Montreux for one night. We wish we spent the money and stayed at the Zermatt for a night.
Try the hotel restaurant. The Le M (57 Euro) is the best value. Duck is OK, little too salty for us. The veal is great. We went to the local supermarket (Carrefour) for our daily needs. Try foie gras from the meat counter.
Some of the parking lot does not take credit card (very difficult to process), have coins ready to save some embarrassing moments.

Exceptional retreat with stunning views.

Everything about Chateau des Avenieres is a delight from the old world charm of its Chateau rooms to the totally modern chic of its Maison suites. My suite had a private rooftop terrace jacuzzi and an in room sauna for absolute luxuriation. The views of the Alps are beyond description and compliment the already serene ambiance of this property. The hosts are warm, engaging, and accommodating. Dining options are limited but exquisitely prepared. I can't wait to get back.

Castle on the hill.

Our stay here was superlative. The view was fantastic, the hotel was romantic and idyllic, the staff was extremely attentive and helpful, the room was extremely spacious and comfortable. We only had the breakfast and everything was excellent and most was locally sourced. Especially try the apple juice. We are already planning our next visit for a longer stay.

Great getaway location absolutely.

We were on a relaxing vacation trip. We loved the view from the hotel and the setup in the hotel. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. But the zig zag driving up/down the mountain was a little concern for us. But we enjoyed the stay.

Beautiful, with amazing views.

Our stay was in late April. Weather is typically mild during this time, but it was cold and snowy during our stay. This was a pleasant surprise. We woke to several inches of snow and it was gorgeous. The restaurant is small and has a massive fireplace which was lovely to sit by. The roads were passable so we drove to Geneva, a short drive from the chateau, for a day visit. The road up the mountain to the chateau curves and twists, but is manageable, even with the snow. The staff was awesome, so helpful and attentive. We felt like VIPs. The chateau is gorgeous. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. The food was top notch - phenomenal. We were in Europe for 2 weeks and this hotel experience was our most favorite. Highly recommended!

An unexpected luxury experience.

A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. The hotel is located serenely on a hill top overlooking the Annecy lake. It consist of the main chateau and a luxury annex that gives luxury a new meaning. The staff is friendly and has a big heart for their guests. Our only misgiving was that the pool was only knee deep and not really a pool - However, the area, the hotel, staff and food compensated amply for the missing pool.

A memorable anniversary treat

A fantastic getaway. very secluded but easy to get to neighbouring villages. Unfortunately did not get to spend much time in duplex due to trips to Grindelwald and Annecy and the nearby water park Vitam. The evening dinner was sublime

Nice hotel poorly organised no wifi

This is a charming hotel in a beautiful location which has no customer focus and is unsuitable for business use. There was no wifi (although you get wifi code), no international news (although the news channels are listed in the hotel directory), and no evening bar. There was no restaurant on the night I attended (Tuesday). With the nearest village miles away there is nothing to do. The hotel had a snack menu which was served in what I can only describe as glass jars

Not what we expected

We came with a great hope to enjoy our first chateau stay. But, with the African room we got, it was quite extensively decorated for this small room and it was a bit of a turn-off. And the mattress sank in the middle which is rather uncomfortable and the cable box of the TV only works when one stands in front of it. We have to say, it was a total disappointment! To be fair, the ground and the view is beautiful!

A well maintained chateau in a magnificant setting

It is a chateau well maintained and updated even though it was built more than a hundred years ago. It has a great view of the surrounding valley. Although it is on the French side, it has easy access to Geneva. I will stay there again when I visit Geneva next time.

Beautiful Hotel

This was so much more then we expected. We upgraded our room so we would have a beautiful huge balcony with a beautiful view. It was so peaceful and the view was worth every extra Dollar we spent. A lot of times you see pictures on the internet of your hotel and when you get there you are disappointed because it is not as nice as you thought it would be. But this hotel was so much nicer then we could have imagined. Loved it. I would highly recommend it.

Great hotel!

One of the nicest Chateaus I have ever stayed in. Easy to find on GPS with hotel given instructions. Service was simply perfect and nothing to complain about. Room was nice and well kept but obviously it's a historical building so can't really expect for a five star type of hardware. Didn't realize this was a gastronomic hotel otherwise would have booked for dinner on the date of arrival.

The surrounding of this hotel was beautiful and the dinner at the hotel was delicious, well served, with a great view. But our stay was affected by the following surprises:

1. There are several buildings on the property. But only the castle like building is shown in the pictures. This is a little false advertising. Our room was large and clean but it is not in the castle like building. My kids were a little disappointed.
2. There were flies coming in and out of the salami on the breakfast buffet table.
3. Transportation from the train station was inconvenient. Our driver arranged with the hotel did not pick us up as we expected. We were waiting at the train station for about an hour and we had to make many phone calls to the hotel as his phone was not reachable.

A nice location

Positive points:Friendly staff, interesting room decor, excellent setting. Clean room. The night we arrived the restaurant was closed. We were informed by e-mail of an alternative arrangement of a \"garden party\" vaguely described as consisting of a drink and music. Fortunately, we decided to drive to Annecy and eat at a restaurant there. The hotel markets itself as a top gastronomic venue, with menus priced accordingly, but I assume this is only the case at the very height of the tourist season in July and August - what a shame (we visited in June). The hotel would also have benefited from having a swimming pool

Unique experience with Exceptional food

This Chateau provides one of the more unique experiences I have had. The degustation was absolutely heaven and memorable. The accommodation is a very high quality country house.. It acts and behaves like a four star establishment, the staff and service is incredible.. but it is designed first as a residence so it is very homely environment and not as spacious as a hotel specific design. The pool and grounds were under-going some work but the bleak and freezing weather kept us indoors anyway. So it was hard to get the feeling of what could be done and explored in the 62 acres of the property. I imagine it could be a hikers and walkers delight around the area.

Very nice

We stayed in Geneva for a few days and decided to rent a car and travel a bit. This hotel is about 50 mins away from DT Genevea with no traffic and is really nice. The food at the restaurant pricey (350 euros for two with wine) but really worth the money. Maybe one of the best restaurants , if not the best. Got a really nice room as well (chambre bleue) with view over the Mont Blanc.

Faultless

I went through the list of ratings and pondered whether I should rate anything less than a 5 and in the end I couldn't. Everything was superb - our room, the view, service, location so close to Geneva and the restaurant meal. We have travelled extensively over the years and this hotel rates as one of the best. A truly memorable place to stay.

Beautiful place, amazing stay

Since the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us and were incredibly helpful and lovely .
The room was beautifully and tastefully decorated and the bathroom was very romantic with the curtains over the bath and decorated with marble roman busts.
It's a beautiful chateaux but the highlight wax the amazing dinner .
It was truly memorable . We met the chef later and were surprised that he does not have Michelin star yet as he is still very young .
Best stay!!

Mükemmel bir deneyimdi. Sadece ana binada kalmayı seçmiş olmak isterdim ama bu rezervasyon esnasında benim gözümden kaçan bir hata. Mekan dekor ambiyans masalsı güzellikte. Personelin ilgisi ve özeni sahici. Bir Şapel’in yanında konaklamak oldukça enteresandı ve ortam çok huzurlu. Sadece spor salonunun Spa ile aynı alanda olması dinlenen kişileri rahatsız etme riski nedeni ile sorunlu görülebilir. Yemekler ve içkiler de enfesti. Clara ve Lili’nin kocaman tebessümleri ve ışıldayan gözlerle bizi dinlemeleri çok değerli. Çok yüksek puanı olan bu mekan bunu hakediyor.
