About this apartment rental
Situated in the beautiful, award winning (Coq D'Or historical site) Haute Savoie village of Samoens, very near to the Tele-cabin. The balcony has stunning views of the famous Le Criou mountainside. The building is in a traditional French Alpine style with lift access to the apartment. A secure ski locker is provided with the apartment and parking is free outside the main entrance.
The apartment is on the 4th floor (there is a lift of course) making for stunning views and far enough away from any noise on the ground. Having said that - Samoens is a very quiet town.
As you enter the apartment you will find bunk beds large enough for adults. A bathroom and a kitchen area.
The kitchen has everything you require including hob, cooker/microwave and a dishwasher.
Upstairs is a double bed and a large corner sofa with flat screen smart TV that plays films saved to a memory (USB) stick or DVDs.
There is ample storage space for luggage etc.
The view from the balcony down the valley is breathtaking - only surpassed by the view from the Velux window upstairs.
Being four floors, the building is taller than those around it and allows you to look down on the town and across to the mountains.

Have stayed here for a number of years. The host is always on hand to answer any questions quickly. Key pickup and drop off is easy. Accommodation is ideally located in such a lovely French town.

Located between a boulangerie and a small friendly supermarket, and with parking outside, the apartment was ideal for our needs. There's a great bar on the ground floor of the block, and as advertised, there was no noise issue at all.
Although compact, the apartment had everything for a group of individuals (like ours) or a family. The bunk beds are in the hallway directly outside the toilet and shower, but that wasn't an problem for us.
The view of the mountains from the apartment is beautiful - just what you need to inspire you to get out there for the first lift.
We drove the short distance to the gondola, rather than walk in ski boots, but there's also a bus stop close by.
All in all, great value for money, and would definitely stay here again.

Stay for a month with my family and we had great time. Close to Indian Rocks, but in nice to be in a quiet place. Pool was a great addition espeically since beach had red tide. Loved the two seating areas. Had great time adn would stay here again. Michael, the host always responded ASAP and fixed any issues, which were all small!

We have stayed here for a number of years now. It’s spacious for the two of us and is ideally located for the town and the ski lift.
I noticed this year there wasn’t a dvd player. But 4g is very good so we can usually stream content.
No problems collecting keys and getting our bedding/towels etc
Will stay again.

Trés sympa
Appartement très bien situé, très agréable. Propriétaire très sympathique, gestion de l'agence locale au top. Un petit effort sur la propreté et les équipements serait bienvenu ( porte du congélateur cassée, système d'ouverture de la porte donnant sur le balcon à réparer, poêle rouillée, absence de rideau pour les lits superposés etc.)

Séjour agréable
Appartement agréable et très bien placé. Le coin montagne est peut-être trop petit pour des ados, et c'est dommage qu il n'y ait pas de place de parking attitrée. Faire attention lors de
la réservation, le prix est indiqué en
euros et la facturation se fait en livres.Ce qui engendre des frais supplémentaires lors du paiement.

Unique apartment
We really enjoyed our stay in Samoëns. Communication with Steve (the owner) was friendly and polite right from our initial enquiry. The apartment was perfect for a family ski trip: warm, plenty of hot water, quiet and comfortable! Fantastic location as it is right next door to the Sherpa supermarket (although long queues at peak times meant that we explored the town to find alternative shops: Tiffanie bakery was a favourite). It being half term week, the queues to get on the main express lift were also huge. So much so that we drove to the smaller Vercland bubble lift each day. I would definitely recommend a stay in this apartment if you are thinking of a trip to Samoëns.

Great week for skiing.
Great appartment, small, but the owners have maximised the use of space well. We were 4 adults and very comfortable. Nice town with everything you need and comfortable bed. Good skiing in the area plenty in samoens Town. Communication with owner is excellent and he will answer all questions quickly. Very helpful, will definitly return to samoens and would book appartment again. (only suggestion would be to add a slow cooker - great to have a meal ready after a hard day on the slopes!)

As described
‘Does what it says on the tin’. Location is ideal for the lovely village and the access to the Grand Massif for skiing: 10mins walk there, or bus from the corner, and was right by the supermarket.
Rooms were readily warmed by the heaters, & was nice hot water for baths or showers. Quiet location, secure.

Séjour au top!
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour cet été dans cet apartment cosy et très bien situé à 3min à pieds du centre du village !
Steve est un hôte à l’écoute et très sympathique !
Merci pour ces belles vacances !

Très bien situé
L'appartement est agréable , au calme tout en étant près du centre ville .C'est trésor appréciable d'être au dernier étage de l'immeuble .
Nous avons apprécié également d'avoir un parking au pied de l'immeuble .
La chambre à l'étage est très spacieuse . Les deux lits superposés de l'entrée sont un peu étroits pour des enfants de taille d'adulte .
Attention le paiement est prélevé en livres sterling et j'ai donc eu des frais bancaires sur les deux prélèvements ( location et caution ) . Au bout du compte j'ai payé avec le taux de change 30 euros de plus que l'évaluation indiquée . La caution ne pourrait elle pas être payée en chèque à l'agent immobilier qui gère la location ?
Malgré cela c'est une location que je recommande .

Ideal for two of us on a few days away. Helpful before went and agent in town also great
Can’t find many faults. Great location quiet but close to town centre and nice walk to lift. 15 yards for the Sherpa for fresh orange juice and croissants
no wifi so my data took a hit as needed to do some work
But would very happily come again online and app prices all remarkable efficient and reliable

Fantastic location, well equipped apartment. Loved it 😀
3rd time to Samoëns. This apartment was the best located with the shop right next door and ski bus just across the road. Plenty of parking. Was concerned about the bunk beds as have two older teenagers but they worked out perfectly. Will definitely return. Thanks.

Great Vacation - Excellent Owner
We visited in August, 2016. The lovely condo was well equipped with everything that we needed! We were a family of four that took advantage of all that Samoens offered. We paraglided, swam, ran, hiked and enjoyed the local restaurants. The condo had all we needed to make dinner, although the village had great restaurants. We loved the pub in the main level, and typically finished a hike with a glass of wine. Steve was amazing at communicating, and we were so appreciative.

Perfect stay
The apartment had everything we needed with fabulous views from the balcony and from the bedroom. There is a cozy lounge area, a very comfy bed and a well stocked kitchen. It was also great having parking so close. We are thinking about going back for a winter holiday.

Great value apartment!
Family of 4 including 2 year old and 4 year old. Apartment was great and had everything we needed - close to Samoens village centre and an easy 10 min walk (or 2 min ski bus) to the gondola. Would happily stay again!

Super self contained little apartment - great spot
Excellent value for money - lovely self contained little apartment with everything you'd need for a week away. A few steps away from the ski bus stop and small supermarket or a two minute walk into the village centre. Quiet, warm apartment, plenty of warm water and hanging space - what more do you need?

Amazing holiday
This is my 6th visit to this apartment, it is superb! We particularly love the amazing view of the mountains from the apartment balcony, and we loved sitting out there eating our meals. There is also a view of the mountains from the master bedroom through the skylight. The apartment is a good size, with a modern kitchen-dinner including a dish washer. The beds are comfortable and there is a living room area with a TV , DVD player and board games. The village of Samoens is very picturesque. The apartment is convenient for the shops, restaurants, and for a variety of places for arranging activities. Samoens has plenty of restaurants, my favourites are ‘La Table du Fifine’ and La Louisannes’. In the village there are sufficient small supermarkets, outdoor shops and places to buy holiday souvenirs.
During our stay we visited Chamonix and went up the Aguile Du Midi cable car on Mont Blanc, which had spectacular views and is an amazing feat of engineering. On another day trip to Chamonix we went up the mountain train to the Mer de La Glace Glacier and visited the ice cave in the glacier and glacier museum there which were excellent.
We also visited the beautiful town of Annecy and looked round the old picturesque old town, hired pedalos and swam in the lake.
In the Samoens we were able to hire bikes and also arrange white water rafting for the later we used - Ecolorado Rafting who I would recommend as they spoke English and our guide had a great sense of humour. We also did several walks from the apartment, and there were many more valley and mountain walks that we have yet to do. The walks took us along the river valleys, through Alpine meadows, though woodland, and up mountains with great views back down into valley and by mountain lakes. I recommend the walk up to Cascade du Roget, a spectacular waterfall, there is a café here where you can take a break.
There is a Park in Samoens – Lac aux dame which is a great place to sun bath or read. If you fancy swimming you can work further along the Giffre to Lac Bleu in Morrilion which can be swum in in the summer months.

Great for Families
We are a family of 5 with 3 young children aged 1, 5 & 7. The apartment is on the top floor of a block of flats therefore very quiet.
The flat consisted of two floors which has the bedroom and living area upstair and kitchen/toilet and bunk beds in the entrance downstairs.
The upstairs was confortable with plenty of storage for the clothes and the kitchen was very well equipped considering we cooked for the 4 out of the 7 nights we stayed.
The location is great, there is a mini-market next door and a take away pizza van across the road. If you have a car, private parking is available but there is a ski bus stop next to the apartment.
City centre is a 5 minute walk.
The way the town is set up, main gondola is not walking distance, it is at the end of the town with no flats around it, so the only way to get there is to take the ski bus or drive and park. We chose to drive all the way upto Samoens 1600 village, which is a 20 minute drive but much more convenient as you don't have the main gondola queues both ways.
The resort is very impressive as it is low, it is a living town, not necessarily a ski resort so there are many shops/restaurants but the main attraction was the ski area. I am an advanced skier and probably I would not be satisfied with the grand massif area but with a family (beginner or intermediate skiers) its great. Mainy blue runs, and some reds. Les Carroz is the most scenic, Flaine is the highest and widest runs therefore the best snow conditions and Samoens is great for beginners (green runs)
Would highly recommend the flat and the resort.
Best tip for half term skiers - book your restaurants before you ski. In 7 nights we could not find a table in ANY restaurant. Fully booked.
If you want to hire skis, use the ski hire shops on the otherside of town as they are cheaper and had brand new equipment.

A great base for a week skiing in Samoens
We stayed here for a weeks skiing in Feb. Ideal location, across the road to the ski bus stop (a bit too far to walk to the gondola in ski boots), next door to a reasonable supermarket and only a short walk to the town centre. Apartment is above the Irish bar which was ideal after a day on the slopes!!
The apartment has everything needed for a self catering holiday and was very quiet. The space was fine for the two of us. Imagine it would be ok for a family but may be a bit crowded with 4 adults. There is no cleaning facility so you need to clean when leaving- wasn't a problem for us and the agent checks it over at check-out so you can be sure it will be acceptable when you arrive.
The town is lovely, Wednesday market was worth a visit for some good food. The ski area was great, lots of sectors to explore and we had great conditions.
Communication from the owner was very good and questions I had were always answered quickly. Would consider staying again if we return to Samoens.

Great Christmas
Just had a lovely Xmas holiday. This was our 5th time at Samoens which has great access to ski bus, restaurants, pubs and picturesque walks. There was a great fireworks display and party on the village square to see the New Year in. Although this apartment is right in the centre of the village and over the Irish bar I was pleasantly surprised that it has been the quietest and comfiest we have stayed in. The key was easy to collect and the sheets and towels were ready in our room on arrival. We will definitely book this apartment again. Very happy customers!
