Now sometimes you arrive to a place you would not like to share with anyone. I felt like this in Yvoire. After Annecy the village felt like heaven with tranquility and only a handful of tourists or people. Late May working day maybe provided to that, but it felt amazing to be able to go for a swim without anyone around early morning, the quietness of the streets and the most beautiful Lake Leman (=Lake Geneva). You can take cruises if you want, we didn’t, just enjoyed the village which is small and there’s not too much to see except the beauty.
Hotel du Port is small, only 7 rooms, ours (maybe all of them?) had fantastic lake view, just beautiful. Service was very friendly and helpful, bit of hassle with the payment though. Hotel has very nice restaurant on the first floor with a lake view, we had dinner there. Room had a balcony with 2 chairs, cozy place to watch the tiny port and the lake (afternoon sun though can be too hot for sitting there). Minifridge in the room. Deco nice and bathroom/toilette with great lights and modern. Parking few hundred meters away underground with Hotel Cecile (modern and for once fairly wide spots). Get a code from the hotel so you can drive through the gates to drop the luggage, the arch to drive through is very narrow, we didn’t bother but dragged the luggage from the garage, it is not that far. Hotel breakfast, continental 20eur, that is quite a lot, not to mention the ‘pick what you want choices’. Understandable though, not a budget choice
