The best furniture for a holiday rental terrace is comfortable enough that guests want to use it, practical enough to clean quickly on changeover day, and stylish enough to stand out in your listing photos. The Annecy range ticks all three: reclining armchairs with teak arms, cushion covers that are machine washable at 30 degrees, and a weather cover included with every sofa set. Two sets are available, from €1,999.
This guide covers what to look for and how to set up a rental terrace that earns great reviews. See the range on the Annecy collection page.
What do guests look for on a rental terrace?
- Enough seats for everyone in the group, at the same time.
- Comfort for long afternoons and evenings outside.
- Shade through the hottest part of the day.
- Clean, fresh cushions that look like the photos.
- Somewhere to eat outdoors, as well as somewhere to relax.
Why does Annecy suit holiday rentals?
- Washable covers: 350g spun polyester cushions with covers that are machine washable at 30 degrees, so sun cream and spills come out on changeover day.
- Weather cover included: protect the set between bookings and through the quieter months.
- Reclining armchairs: a comfort feature guests notice and mention.
- Durable materials: a powder-coated aluminium frame, Grade A teak arms and an all-aluminium coffee table.
- A neutral finish: Titanium Grey photographs well against white walls and blue pools, and suits most styles of property.

How many seats does your rental need?
Aim for outdoor seating for everyone the property sleeps, across the lounge and dining areas combined. A property that sleeps six, for example, needs at least six comfortable outdoor seats in total, so the whole group can sit outside together. If you have a pool, add sun loungers too.
How do you set up a terrace that photographs well?
- Face the seating towards the view, whether that is the pool, the sea or the garden. It is the shot guests will remember.
- Keep styling simple: two or three cushions in a single accent colour and one plant on the coffee table.
- Photograph in soft light, such as early morning or late afternoon, rather than harsh midday sun.
- Show the shade: include the parasol or pergola in the photo so guests know they can sit outside comfortably.
- Light it for evening shots: festoon lights and lanterns make a terrace look inviting after dark.
What is a good changeover routine?
- Wipe down the aluminium frame and coffee table with mild soapy water.
- Check cushion covers for sun cream, food or drink marks.
- Wash covers at 30 degrees when needed, and keep a spare set ready if your changeovers are tight.
- Make sure covers are completely dry before refitting.
- Straighten cushions and reset the terrace to match your listing photos.
How do you protect the furniture between bookings?
- Use the included weather cover when the property will be empty for more than a few days.
- Bring cushions indoors during longer gaps and the quieter months.
- Leave a short guest note asking guests to bring cushions in during wind or rain.
- Ask your cleaner or property manager to check the terrace after storms.
