We stayed at la Maison des Pins for three nights in June and loved it. Our bedroom and bathroom were huge, with wonderful views of Lake Annecy. Breakfast on the terrace was a delight. Mado was friendly and charming, and produced something varied, home-made and delicious each morning. Philippe, whose english is excellent, was on hand each evening to help with our plans for next day. He also recommended a wonderful lake-side restaurant for dinner. We'd love to return to this great B&B in its beautiful part of the world.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights in October. We were charmed by the house and its hosts. The house is tastefully decorated in the style of the region, the bedroom was spacious and clean, the bathroom well equipped and big for this type of accomdation.
The views of the lake are stunning and the location is peaceful, although not far from the centre of St-Jorioz (a few minutes drive). The hosts, Mado and Phillipe, are very friendly and helpful. Pilllipe speaks fluent English.They gave us brilliant advice on where to eat in the evening and on good places to see during the day. Mado served us delicious breakfast, different each day, with homemade jams and cakes. Great week-end, we are definitely coming back!

This is a very nice B&B. The reception room/lounge is charming and comfortable, the bedrooms are spacious with nice furnishings, the bathrooms surprisingly large with very stylish, modern sanitary ware. The place was very clean and bright, and the views of Lake Annecy are lovely. As the weather was good, we were served breakfast outside - unfortunately, owing to the hedge there are no lake views from the breakfast area. Also, the house, while attractive in itself, charming and quite old, is surrounded by rather unexciting modern homes, with one more under construction right next door. The pine trees that give it its name, are a reduced stand behind the house, and, as they don't seem to belong to the property, may well vanish one day for yet more development. The breakfast goods were very nice and the bread very fresh - in fact, Mado popped out to the boulangerie just as we sat down to fetch fresh supplies.

However,overall somehow we were slightly disappointed by this place. Perhaps it was because we had experienced other slightly better B&Bs, rather than any specific issue with la Maison des Pins. Also, for the standard of accommodation and other offerings, we found the prices rather steep - but the whole Lake Annecy area is more expensive than other nearby spots.

Mado and Philippe were perfectly friendly and welcoming (Philippe speaks good English, Mado has a more limited command - but this wasn't the issue as I speak good French) but somehow they seemed rather formal and distant, rather than warm and sponteneous. As we were with friends, we were mostly ignored while they attended to another couple (who happened to be native French speakers).

I must admit, the owners of this wonderful home are living my dream! We stayed 3 nights with our almost 2 year old son at this lovely B&B. Our room was spacious and so charming! The crib for my son was gorgeous, including the bedding. The balcony offered us spectacular views of Lake Annecy. A peaceful place to unwind and a great location to explore all that the area has to offer. Breakfast offerings were plenty and each day was something different and even more delicious. Our hostess, Madoline, was so very kind and especially sweet to our son. We highly recommend a stay here to truly experience a taste of what it might be like to live in paradise.
