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.

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.

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

Had a brilliant 3 nights here recently in a duplex appartment (room 303). We loved the comfy beds, the luxurious towels, the Elemis products and the spacious rooms. It was very hot whilst we were there and air conditioning would have been nice (especially upstairs under the roof; a fan was provided but it was still v. hot), but apart from that we loved our room. We also enjoyed the pool very much (though the loungers could do with replacing) and the breakfast was very tasty with lots of choice. Evening meals were good and quite reasonable at the cheaper restaurant (can't remember it's name), though the menu was repetitive.
ServiceClientele, Guest Relations at Madame Vacances Chateau de Candie, responded to this review

Thank you for your 5-star review of our lovely hotel, greatly appreciated.

I am so glad to hear you had a lovely stay with us and particularly enjoyed the lovely spacious and comfortable rooms.

We will soon be doing a big renovation of the hotel so most of the rooms will be redesigned to include air-conditioning, although we have found that most of the time the rooms do not require this.

I have taken note of your comments of the sun loungers and the menu at the Cantine.

Hoping to see you again soon.

Kind regards,

Ginny

My husband and I stayed here last night and wish we had more time to stay! On a very hot day, after lunching and touring around the town of Chambery, we arrived at this chateau and immediately after checking in (man at reception was very nice and helpful, even helping us carry our luggage across the gravel area to our separate cabin room), we jumped into the lovely, refreshing pool and spent a few hours there until dinner. We ate at l'Orangerie, and that was also fabulous, with THREE (count them) amuse-bouches and different plats, followed by the cheese plate that allowed us to choose as many different types of local cheese as we wanted. The sommelier was very helpful in finding us a dry rosé and then a vin rouge to accompany the cheeses. The bed was firm, and cotton sheets and plush towels luxurious. Breakfast was equally delicious, with many different choices. I'd love to come back and spend more time in this area and at this chateau.
ServiceClientele, Guest Relations at Madame Vacances Chateau de Candie, responded to this review

Thank you very much for your lovely comments.

It would be great to see you back with us at our hotel; please do get in touch with us at Summer France if you would like to book again as we would love to offer you a great loyalty discount.

Many thanks,

Ginny

My husband and I stayed in room 106 for one night. We received a warm welcome and were shown our room. Our room was absolutely beautiful, with a stunning wooden ceiling, comfortable double bed (king size), a fridge, a coffee machine, cookies, a big screen television with international channels. Our bathroom had a huge free standing bathtub with plush towels and good toiletries. WiFi worked well and was free.
We had dinner under a gazebo and were served by professional people. Each dish was stunningly presented and delicious. Breakfast was outside and with a good selection of quality food.
We will come back with all of our children! A big thank you to all the friendly staff!
ServiceClientele, Guest Relations at Madame Vacances Chateau de Candie, responded to this review

Thank you Anne-Marie for your very kind comments.

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us at the Chateau de Candie. The food, as you say, is served to perfection and the rooms are just beautiful.

When you come back with your children make sure you visit the Lac du Bourget (10 minutes drive from the Chateau) its simply beautiful there in the summer!

Kind regards,

Ginny
