Abbaye de Talloires

We stayed at the Abbaye for two nights to celebrate a wedding anniversary and a special, milestone birthday and we were not disappointed. The setting is magnificent, right on the shores of the lake but very private and peaceful too. The restaurant tasting menu was incredible, as was the very extensive wine list. And the quirky spa on the top floor was an excellent place to chill out when the weather was not at its best. We will certainly be back soon!

Well worth a visit, this former Abbey converted to an upmarket hotel in the 19th century is a fantastic getaway for adults - quiet luxury in a perfect spot on the lake.||We switched from the bustle of Annecy midway through our holiday for 3 days here. It did not disappoint, even thought eh weather was changing from warm sun to rain. The location is picturepostcard perfect, in a little town that is both smart and very clean.||The hotel itself is cavernous, with large rooms, fine dining, a good breakfast and a decent spa. The staff are very helpful and friendly, from first parking your car to checkout. The balcony view from our room of the lake was fabulous, as was the large bed, the fast wifi, and the modern bathroom.||We give the hotel 4 stars because facilities are not always open - which is unusual for an expensive 4 start hotel. The restaurant is not open Monday-Wednesday, and after breakfast is finished, there is only a bar to use. The spa is similarly open daytime hours. That said, there are several restaurants within easy walking distance, from Micehlin starred restauarants to traditional French bar/bistros.||In summary, this is a great getaway for well-heeled adults in a fabuluos location.

L'Abbaye hotel in Talloires. France is a magical experience. The Abbaye is sparkling inside and out. We stayed in a suite which had all the amenities you'd want or need and a lovely view of picturesque Lake Annecy which is just yards from the hotels outdoor seating and bar area. Service there was wonderful and attentive. On our first night we ate at the Abbaye's outdoor garden area overlooking the lake. Service was perfect with delicious food, wine, cheese, starters and entrees. The service area and check-in reception was way above expectation and their help and guidance very much appreciated. We loved our stay at L'Abbaye de Talloires.

This is at least our tenth time of coming to the hotel so we must love it! We don't take breakfast, lunch or dinner at the hotel preferring to vary where we eat. However, we do a lot of sitting under the trees, chatting and having a drink which is truly wonderful. Since retirement we now take a classic room with a balcony overlooking the garden. The only fault is the water flow of the shower and bath are very poor. Not bad enough to stop coming though! We willl be back next year for sure.

My husband I had the pleasure of staying at the elegant Abbaye in the summer of 2018 during the Abbaye’s 1000th anniversary, and we finally had the opportunity to return this summer to share a holiday with our daughter and her family. The enchanting grounds of the Abbaye offer such a special place full of classic luxury to relax and unwind, and it’s where we have enjoyed making lifelong memories. ||We value the history and the luxurious sophistication of the relaxing lakefront atmosphere, offering a convenient walk into nearby Talloires. The Abbaye’s gracious staff are some of the best in the industry, and we appreciated many quality interactions with the Abbaye employees who are to be commended for their warm hospitality and professionalism. We truly appreciated the special attention we received from the proficient reception team before and during our stay: Mégane, Manon, Camille and Nathan, and at check-in from the friendly, engaging valet, Lucas; from our daily interactions with the magnificent Didier in dining service, to delicious drinks and boards served at the AT Bar by creative Aurélien and his staff, and to assistance from attentive Quinton for pontoon service; and much appreciation goes to the diligent housekeeping team, who carefully refreshed our chambre each morning and evening providing many amenities for our five night stay.||Many thanks to everyone on the Abbaye team for our memorable holiday in August 2025!! We’ll see you next summer!

Didn't stay at the hotel, but came here for evening drinks. They have quite a nice selection of drinks. I had the hibiscus spritz, and it was lovely! Very pleasant staff too and had a great view of the water.

This lovely hotel boasts an exceptional location right on the shores of Lake Annecy—ideal for enjoying both tranquil mornings and lively evenings by the water. With direct access to the lake (no roads to cross and no traffic to worry about), it offers a rare blend of serenity and convenience.||The modern, state-of-the-art facilities and attentive staff created the perfect environment for us to truly unwind and recharge. Every detail contributed to a restful and rejuvenating stay.||Thank you for a wonderful experience!||

Superb centuries old abbey nicely renovated. Very convenient and comfortable private access to the lake to relax and swim. Fine French food with emphasis on local products such as fish from the lake and sophisticated herbal and fumed touch. Very friendly and attentive staff.

We had an amazing Michelin star meal at the hotel's Gastronomique. We selected the 109 euro menu and it was 11 courses. When the waiter kept bringing new silverware we thought he was kidding. My husband snd I travel a good bit and I'm confident to say this was one of the best meals we've ever had. Highly recommend drinks in the garden first.
