We had an absolutely wonderful time at Villa Bagetelle. The house is absolutely flawless, as is the location on the lake. It is situated right between Veyrier-du-lac and Menthon-St-Bernard, so an easy walk to both, and to the beach areas of both. Alexandra and Michel were incredibly welcoming and helpful, greeting us with two lovely bottles of wine, humoring me and speaking French with me when practical. Michel even showed my car-obsessed son his antique car collection. Every service was offered, including getting groceries before we arrived, helping us to arrange a private chef for a few meals (whose food was absolutely incredible), and organizing boat rental right at the house. Alexandra provided an incredibly useful book of local attractions, maps, etc., for every possible interest. The location is simply incredible, close to incredible hiking including La Tournette (bring ski poles if early in the summer, it's a bit harrowing) and Mont Veyrier, and easier more family-friendly hikes like the Cascade (waterfall) d'Angon (still feels pretty adventurous at the end). And close to so many natural wonders that you can drive to such as Col de la Forclaz, or under La Tournette another Col also with incredible views. We left our kids with our sitter for one night and made an overnight trip to Maison de Bois which was an incredible side trip. And our lunch at Auberge Père Bise may have been the most pleasant lunch we have ever had. Honestly, I can't say enough positive about the house, the hosts, or the location. Oh, there is also an incredible wine collection from which you can purchase wines, which is really a great boon. We had stopped in Beaune on the way over, not expecting something like that, but really, the caliber of the wine was truly impressive. Honestly, this was one of our favorite places we have ever visited, and I hope we return.
