We had a great 2 week stay in the property. The property is well equipped and suitably spacious with great views in all directions. We essentially stayed in the valley for 2 weeks with loads of lovely walks and cycling very close by, or even from the front door. The pool in Samoens and Lac Blu were also hits with the kids, along with rafting and paragliding all close by. We would very happily return.

We are satisfied with our stay in this fully furnished house. Unfortunately ther was no snow at the house, but there was plenty of space around the house to play with small children. It was a bit of a drive to the slopes, but that was no problem. We had good contact with the owner and all questions were answered neatly and quickly. The owner was very helpfully. We had a very nice week. Thanks for all.

The location of the chalet is great and there is more than enough space for seven people. The facilities are very good and the contact with the hosts went without any problems. We felt very comfortable the whole time.

Carol is a great host and incredibly quick to react. The dishwasher broke down and she arranged a new one to be installed within a day. Impressive! The chalet is very nice, well maintained, well equipped and well located: central but still quiet. I think for 10 adults it might be a bit tight, but for 7-8 adults it’s ideal. I would definitely recommend this chalet if you like nature.
