Our take
L'Arcalod is my pick in Doussard for a relaxed base at the southern end of Lake Annecy, 2 km from the shore and about 30 minutes from Annecy itself. The pool sits in a 5,000 m² park, the free bikes make the lake easy to reach, and the rooms are air-conditioned for the warmer months. An 8.8 from 651 guests shows a dependable stay. Travellers wanting a lively town centre on their doorstep will find it too quiet.
- Make use of the free bikes to explore the greenway around the lake, it's a great way to see the area.
- Spend an afternoon by the pool in the 5000m² park, it's a peaceful spot to relax.
- Plan some outdoor activities like hiking or water sports, the location is perfect for them.
Why we love it

Why guests love itL'Arcalod is the base I recommend at the southern end of Lake Annecy for families who like space and fresh air. The pool sits in a 5,000 m² park where children have room to play, and the free bikes make the 2 km ride to the lake an easy outing. Rooms are air-conditioned, which matters in summer, and Bistrot Jeanne is on site for dinner. My advice: allow about 30 minutes to reach Annecy itself.
