The breakfast was top notch and plenty of it. Brendan is a great host - he has a great combination of being laid back and efficient at the same time - made me feel right at home from the start. St Gervais is a nice town, La Joly is a 10 minute walk from the centre. For those of you on the GR5/Tour de Mont Blanc it is slightly off route but is a no hassle option if you can't get accommodation in Les Contamines. - there's a bus from Les Contamines to St Gervais. (get your ticket in advance from the tourist office in LC when heading to SG - you can pay the driver in the opposite direction - slightly odd but that's how it works!)

the house is rather old and squeaky but it is so stylish. we got a large unit, with 2 rooms, a table football and exit to a large terrace. downstairs you have a large dining room and a fully equipped kitchen I was a bit worried that being located close to the street would make it noisy but it wasn’t! and most of all - the owner - he’s so kind! and helpful! he wants to help everyone, give tips on a trip, the neighborhood. very nice guy

A rather quirky B&B but one that delivered an excellent experience overall. Rooms are spartan and tight on space, but then the rate is very reasonable. The location is actually quite handy: 20 min. drive to Chamonix and avoiding all of the hubbub and crowding of that place; plus St Gervais is a really nice town for dinner and hanging out. The B&B has a wonderful lounge area downstairs for evenings to sit and plan your next day, and the place is well stocked with many maps for borrowing including hiking maps and a super-useful 3D relief map of the area on the wall. Breakfast is typically good and served punctually, obligingly, and cheerfully. The best part of the entire experience, though, is the host who is exceptionally knowledgeable of the area. Want a short hike of < 2 hours to a nice waterfall? He'll tell you where to go. Want to know which parking area is best in Chamonix? He knows. When does the boulangerie open in the morning, and which of the two in town is the better? Count on him. Which restaurant to have dinner at? Definitely. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Room needed a towel bar or hook on the door; there was no place to hang towels. Was not provided a hand towel, just a bath towel. A single soap dispenser to be shared between sink and shower. Little things but helpful.

Great host helped us plan sightseeing activities and gave solid traveling advice. Beautiful location with great views from our bedroom. Host gave us an upgrade on our room. The place had lots of character and we loved it!

We wished we had time to stay longer.

Wonderful location with spectacular views. Very relaxed atmosphere and Miranda and Brendan made us very welcome. Very nice breakfast. Could not fault it.

coziness

ıt was perfect

Brendan and Miranda are the most courteous hosts, and do everything they can to ensure comfort for guests. La gîte is a beautiful and comfortable setting, and nicely situated for going to the ski stations. Will be coming back!

Superbly nice and helpful hosts in charming historic building. Clean room, cosy common areas, good breakfast and fast wifi. Great value for money very close by St Gervais with private parking space.

A walking path to town would make the location better.

Very nice place with very kind host. Good vaule for money. Recomended

The welcome and the atmosphere were very special.

The bed was a little soft for my liking.

Brandon and Miranda were very helpful. The accomodation is very clean and ample. You feel at home.

The shower is very uncomfortable

Our hosts were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we felt welcomed.

very welcoming hosts, Brendan and Miranda were helpful from the very first to the very last moment. They provided us with great guidance on the surrounding hikes and even dropped us at a departure point that was remote from the gite. They also picked us up and dropped us at from the train station (st gervais le fayet) which was really appreciated.

We strongly recommend to come with a motorized vehicle. The gite is adjacent to a road with little access for pedestrian. Moreover if you intend to explore the various hiking paths, glaciers, and so on, having a vehicle is quite necessary in the area. Not an issue to the gite itself, it is more a tip for anyone going in the valley.
