Nestled up against the Parmelan mountains, not far from Annecy, the Auberge Camelia is a restaurant
that was long known in the past as a simple place to get a simple meal in rural surroundings.
But it has undergone a big change since Roger and Suzanne Farrell-Cook, an English couple bought it
and spent a lot of time and energy making it a cosy hotel and restaurant.
Everything about the hotel is new though the rooms keep a rural touch, The restaurant and bar look as
neat and cosy as an English inn of the type the traveller usually searches for in vain.
The reception is friendly. Roger, as he draws your beer or serves your drink before dinner always
has time for a chat and a smile . Sue who looks after the edibles, is equally hospitable.

Pleasant surprise: the prices are quite reasonable. Situated in a completely rural area where the industry
revolves around apples pears and milk, the Auberge Camelia is a good place to spend a few hours
before dining , chatting or passing the night before going on to the ski slopes of Chinaillon or La Clusaz
about half an hour away.
As I left the Camelia last time after a good meal, I asked Roger if there was anything he would like to say
to someone who was coming to this part of the Alps to visit Chez Camelia.
You know I think we have something a bit special here. And I think he's right.
Welcome
