This was the third time we've stayed in this lovely apartment. It's always immaculate with tons of space, and the views from the south facing balconies are stunning. The skiing is much better than we ever expected in Chatel, with easy access to the Portes du Soleil circuit. We've always been lucky with the snow, and often been able to ski almost back to the apartment (right to the doorstep if you don't mind dodging over a fence and down the field opposite - great if the snow is deep!) I don't ski every day, sometimes we go snow-shoeing, again from the chalet. A favourite walk is up to the ridge and then back down via Theo's restaurant (near the Barbossine lift) where you can get the best hot chocolate in the area! (open in winter only). Although the chalet is up the hill out of the town, it's easy to get to the main lifts as the bus stops right outside and goes direct to both Super Chatel and Linga lifts. There's never a problem getting a seat as the bus starts just a couple of stops away. It's a shame there's no baker nearby (in January at least) but we can always get bread in the village on the way home in the evening, and you can buy excellent cheese from the farm next door. I expect we'll be back again!

Back to Sally's apt for another ski hol. Enjoyed apt last season so back again. Can't fault this place, good location, excellent facilities and 'a home away from home'. Could have skied to door as loads of snow this year if we'd figured out how to but no direct access and think its across a field & we didn't feel that adventurous! Must find out for next year. Another great time, as said lots more snow this year, great skiing and some great eats in and out. You must try the Ristourante/Crepery Genepy in the village, scallop risotto to die for and a langoustine & scallop meal that was excellent. One note if hiring a car, the access from apt's is up a slight steep hill & if lots of white stuff fallen snow tires a must, don't be cheap (like us) & hire from French side of Geneva airport as they do not routinely fit snow tires, the Swiss side do. We ended up paying 100E for snow chains- a ward of warning on car hire! But overall brill holiday, will back next year!

We stayed in Sally's apt in Feb 2011. All comms and information from owner very prompt and very helpful. Agent Cruz in town who look after the property were very helpful in general and sorted our linen and lift passes smoothly, thank you Joyce & team! On arrival at Chatel the apt was not too hard to find located a couple of minutes by car up the side of the mountain overlooking Chatel village which is lovely for peace & quiet but a car is essential if you do not want to use the ski bus (which is regular till late evening to be fair) or unless you are very fit! The apt itself is well set out, easy to access from the car parking area and well furnished and very comfortable. It has a high standard of equipment throughout and we were very impressed, cannot fault the amenities. Beds very comfy, settees comfy and plenty of hot water for 3 people. The view is excellent over Chatel itself and the balcony gets the sun till late afternoon and is very spacious. A minor point about the satellite TV, not sure if dish needed re-positioning but all the english channels we could recieve were BBC news, CNBC and a one more that escapes me, all other channels in french unfortunately. The other english channels were there but would not recieve a signal. Perhaps some english DVD's or games would be in order or, take your own if you do not go out much & just like to chill out apres ski. Overall though we had a brilliant time and enjoyed a few evenings chilling in the apt and cannot really fault it. Highly recommended and we would certainly go back again. Not a lot of snow this season off piste or low down so was unable to sample the ski to door or Barbossine lift but certainly a possibility in a good snow season. 10/10! Many thanks.

Chatel proved to be a lovely place to spend Christmas and all the family enjoyed the magical torchlit procession around the lake to mark the arrival of Father Christmas on Christmas Eve. The location of the flat slightly out of town up the hillside affords spectacular views up and down the valley (and was great for watching the fireworks on New Year's Eve!) The flat was even better than we had hoped for from the description. It was well euipped and tastefully furnished with plenty of room for the five of us. Having a washing machine was handy. There is a bakery not far away for croissants in the morning. The bus stops right outside making it easy to get into the town centre to the lifts in Chatel or further up the valley to the nearby resorts of Linga and Pre la Joux, if you prefer not to drive. We had a great week and would love to come back to this flat to experience the views from the balcony in the Summertime!

This appartment is best value on space in the resort. Also extremely well equipped compared to other appartments of Chatel. Certainly very secure location for young kids and suits lazy teenagers, as very close to the Barbosine lift system. Added advantage is one can ski home most times. Wonderful to be quietly out of town, but regular bus system means it is just as easy to enjoy shopping and night life in Chatel.
