This is a lovely property in a good position. Easy to walk to shops & restaurants. Easy to park. The kitchen has everything you need and more (including two fridges). What was exceptional was the communication. The host answered every question almost instantly and was extremely helpful. I would recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Hot Summer in Samoens

Spotlessly clean 3 storey chalet/apartment. Very well equipped kitchen (2 fridge/freezers) and 3 modern bathrooms. Located just off the Col de Jeux Plane route to Morzine and 5 mins downhill walk into Samoens which has a number of bars, restaurants and shops plus at least 2 boulangeries and a mini supermarket. 5 mins drive away is Lac Bleu at Morillon/Verchais great for families with inflatables on the lake and a treetop obstacle course. Only issue for us was having kitchen on ground floor away from living room and balcony on 1st floor so we got lots of steps in but just a small point. No views from bedrooms as all 3 face to the rear of the building. Balcony off living area gives view out We enjoyed hot weather so used the shutters to keep the house cool during the day while we were out. Excellent wifi plus a PS5! Garage has been converted to a bedroom but enough space to store one bike. Really nice stay thank you! Samoens Samoens. Lovely town across town.

Agreables vacances

Appartement propre . Nous avons passé un agreable sejour en août 2024 avec nos petits enfants.Juste un bémol : le coin cuisine salle à manger est un peu petit et pas de possibilité de manger à l exterieur puisque le balcon se sitie au premier étage . Deux chambres sont aveugles ( pasde fenêtres)

Propreté impeccable ! 3 chambres avec chacune salle d'eau et WC (1 chambre sans ouverture). Mezzanine avec 3 lits. Cuisine très bien équipée, idéale pour 7 personnes. Coin salon génial avec cheminée, TV et balcon, très cozy. proximité du centre de Samoens pour les apéros agréables après le ski. Magasin Intersport à 300m. Endroit idéal pour les vacances d'hiver

Chalet idéal

Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans ce magnifique chalet, tout équipé, avec tout le confort comme à la maison. Le chalet est suffisamment espacé du centre de la ville pour séjourner au calme, assez proche pour rejoindre les commerces à pied et avec une vue magnifique sur Samoëns. Monsieur Gillu est très arrangeant, de bons conseils et fort agréable. Mamie Chantal n’est pas prête de l’oublier 😄

Joli logement, très bien équipé et calme

Appartement confortable et très bien équipé (cuisine, sdb, console de jeux) dans un environnement très calme avec une belle vue sur les montagnes. Par contre, 10 minutes à pied de l'arrêt du skibus (Place des 7 Monts, ligne jaune), avec une 'bonne' montée au retour avec le matériel de ski. A prendre en compte surtout avec des enfants. Nous recommandons tout de même pour le charme du lieu et de Samoens (nombreux chalets, centre charmant).
