Annecy, nicknamed the "Venice of the Alps", is the perfect setting to celebrate love. With its enchanting canals, dazzling blue lake and mountain backdrop, this town offers an idyllic setting for an unforgettable Valentine's Day. The Hôtel Beauregard, located in Sévrier on the shores of the lake, is the ideal starting point for a romantic day out. Here are 5 ideas for magical moments with your other half.

A morning of well-being and relaxation

Start the day at the Hôtel Beauregard spa

There's nothing like a moment of relaxation to kick-start a day dedicated to love. Hôtel Beauregard's Bulle Nordic spa is a true haven of peace. Start with a visit to the panoramic sauna, made entirely of noble wood, which offers a breathtaking view of Lake Annecy and the surrounding mountains. The sauna's gentle heat promotes muscular and mental relaxation, a perfect moment to reconnect.

Continue with an outdoor bubble bath. The contrast between the warmth of the water and the freshness of the Alpine air adds a magical touch to this experience. To complete this moment of well-being, book a duo massage. The hotel's partner therapists offer personalized treatments tailored to your needs, from relaxing and energizing massages to foot reflexology.

The start of a day at the spa offers a rejuvenating break and sets the stage perfectly for the rest of the day, full of discoveries and emotions.
