The city of Chambéry

Chambéry

The capital of Savoie, historic Chambéry lies in an enviable position halfway between Grenoble and Annecy and a few kilometers from beautiful Lake Bourget and the spa town of Aix Les Bains. Nestled in a valley between the Bauges and Chartreuse massifs, Chambéry is the gateway to the ski resorts of the Maurienne and Tarentaise valleys.

Chambéry's pedestrianized old town is a maze of cobbled streets with pretty buildings dating back to the 15th century. There are a great selection of restaurants, boutique shops and café/bars. Chambéry's own castle, Le Chateau des Ducs de Savoie, is worth a visit with it's free museum giving an insight into the fascinating history of Savoie.

Activities

In the summer months, Lake Bourget (the largest in France), offers the perfect place for bathing and all manner of water sports. The Bauges and Chartreuse massifs are both within 30 minutes drive and offer unspoilt alpine landscapes and villages, perfect for hiking. Cyclists will enjoy the challenges of a number of routes in the Chambéry valley such as the Tour du Lac du Bourget or the Relais du Chat climb. Rock climbers will find a selection of accessible sport routes and via ferratas within a 30 minute radius.

Chambéry's undoubted attraction in the winter is it's proximity to France best ski resorts. You can access almost every ski resort in the northern alps within 2 hours drive of Chambéry, with the closest resort, La Féclaz at only 30 minutes drive and the huge 3 Valleys at just over an hour away.

30 minutes to the north you'll find picture-postcard Annecy with it's charming old town and beautiful lake. The spa town of Aix Les Bains and it's baths and casino is only 15 minutes away on the shores of Lake Bourget. Grenoble is 40 minutes to the south and beautiful Lyon is only 1 hour to the west.

A lot of French Chateaux hotels are off the beaten path, if that is what you want, but this one is pure luxury in the heart of it all. I needed a hotel that would be my gateway to exploring the Chartreuse Mountains and the Chateau de Candie proved to be the perfect place to set up headquarters. Everything was perfection - a five star restaurant, lavish breakfast buffet, gorgeous grounds with a mini vineyard, fabulous pool, stunning bedroom suite, and Georgois, in the bar - a wonderful Greek bartender/manager with great stories and the ability to make everyone feel that they were hanging out in his living room. Superb on all counts! Can’t wait to go back!

Thank you so much for your very kind comments.

Over the last few months, we have been making a lot of changes at the Chateau de Candie so its great to hear you have had such a wonderful time.

As you have said, the location is fantastic, just moments from the centre of town yet it still feels a million miles away!

Thank you so much for your very kind comments on Georgois, he really is great!

Kind regards,
India

Such a charming place! If we could we would stay there for much longer time.
It's old chateau, grounds are so beautiful and waking up looking at the Alps is so romantic. Pleasant staff, nice room with antic furniture, clean, comfortable. Great two restaurants on the premises with good food and tasty breakfast. I really felt in love with this hotel.

Thank you for taking the time to review our beautiful chateau.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you back very soon.

I have never given a hotel or restaurant 5 stars but this one deserves all 5 of them.
Upon arrival we were greeted with a friendly smile from a pleaseant lady who also helped carry our luggage to the room.
The room is enormous with an equally large bathroom.
We (my wife and I) had dinner in the le cantine, a 3 course meal for £21.00 we didn't expect to what had had given to us £41.00 would have been more appropriate, we were helped through the menu and wine list by a very pleasant young man, I believe his name was Grainger.
Breakfast was equally delicious and varied.
All in all a fantastic experience
ServiceClientele, Guest Relations at Madame Vacances Chateau de Candie, responded to this review

Hello Lord Daniel,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our chateau, these are very kind.

We have just changed the running of the hotel quite drastically and the feedback so far has been great. We are making lots of changes including upgrading many of the rooms and we have also added a new bar, a great place to relax in the evening.

I do agree with your comments on the Cantine - the food is great there!!

Kind regards,

Ginny

As per other reviewers room given was not the room booked, but this was sorted the next morning by the best member of staff by far - the head receptionist, the lady who booked us in had a bad attitude and was very rude. The hotel is lovely and the scenery is breathtaking. Breakfast was repetitive, evening meals in the canteen were good and reasonably priced. The pool is lovely although there was no waiter service offered, and trying to find any bar staff for ordering drinks on nights when the canteen wasn’t serving food was frustrating, we had to wait 20mins before we found a waitress.

A lovely hotel in a beautiful part of France, but for the money we paid I was expecting better service.
ServiceClientele, Guest Relations at Madame Vacances Chateau de Candie, responded to this review

Dear Tracy,

Thank you for your review.

You will be pleased to hear that the one or two service reviews you spoke about are being rectified immediately (swimming pool waiter service etc).

We have also now installed a brand new bar area, behind the reception - I don't think any of our guests will ever be thirsty again!

As for your comments about bad attitude from the lady who booked you in, that is most surprising. My experience of the staff is that they are wonderful, each one of them. I don't suppose you will be willing to but if you can let us know exactly who the person was we can speak to her to get to the bottom of the issue.

Once again many thanks for your review. It is a shame you were unable to give us a higher mark on TripAdvisor, but at least it tells us where exactly we have to improve and that is what we are doing right now.

Kindest regards,

India Green, for the owner.

There are not many rooms in this château so what do you do when a couple turns up with a great deal of baggage, a dog, a walker and a need for a room with an accessible shower which they had neglected to specify? Why, find them the perfect room, of course! The hotel could not have been more helpful, friendly or courteous and we spent two nights in room 104 with huge space, a terrific bed and a very good shower. The dog enjoyed walking in the park, which was peaceful enough for him to run off the leash. And the best of all was the food. The restaurant is excellent, beautifully presented and delicious food, outstanding service (there were 5 of us for dinner, 4 of us French and not easily impressed) and we loved a relatively inexpensive wine that the sommelier recommended to us. The bistro has very good food too and a breakfast with a Folliet coffee machine that I had not met before but that gave a choice of about 12 coffees. All that I tried were very good, even better than my mainstay Nespresso. Thank you to all for a most enjoyable, if too short, stay in the Chateau de Candie.
ServiceClientele, Guest Relations at Madame Vacances Chateau de Candie, responded to this review

Thank you very much for your lovely comments on our hotel.

I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the restaurant, which is simply amazing, and the other amenities at the hotel.

Many thanks also for your comments on the staff, they work so hard to make sure all our guests are looked after.

Kind regards,

Ginny
