Apartment was warm and comfortable, had everything we needed and in an excellent location, which was easy to find. Perfect to have the bus stop just outside. Fantastic views from the balcony. Information from the owners was spot on. Far enough outside of town centre for peace and quite, yet within easy reach of all amenities. Thank you

Fantastic apartment and will request again with no hesitation.

Had a fantastic holiday in this apartment. It was clean, modern, warm and everything worked. Wifi was great - worked in all rooms and never 'dropped out' - a bonus as in my experience wifi in Chatel is not always reliable. Having been to Chatel many times we knew the location of the apartment and so were prepared for the walk back in the evening - its about 25 mins. The bus stops outside and runs regularly so no need to walk during the day. We also discovered this time that there is an evening service which runs back up to Petit Chatel until 11.30 on Wednesday and Friday which was useful. The apartment is great, 2 bedrooms and a living area which has plenty of space for 4 to relax in. The kitchen area is fully equipped - plenty of glasses, crockery and cutlery The balcony gives a fantastic view of the whole town and valley - we sat outside with blankets and hot chocolate on a couple of evenings. We were lucky this year as they have had great snow in Chatel (unlike the previous 2 yeas) - we did see people skiing back to the road outside the apartment but didn't manage to work out the route ourselves. Chatel is a beautiful village and I would highly recommend this apartment.

Great little apartment, very comfortable for the 4 of us. Very clean and well maintained. Very well equipped and comfortable. Great location with the ski bus on the doorstep . Lots of storage. Lovely balcony to watch the sun set over the mountains. We would definitely stay here again.

I have just re booked this Chalet for the fourth time. The location really appeals to me especially the view from the balcony, it is second to none, Chatél is is really picturesque location that is hidden away from the masses. The chalet is more than adequate for my family needs and is very well equipped, everything you need in a chalet is present and more including a dryer for our boots in the Den. The Chalet has always been immaculate on every visit and two toilets are a bonus. The owner is passionate about the Chalet and I have noticed improvements every year that we have been including this year free WiFi. Chris is very accommodating in requests for information and provides a comprehensive guide to the facilities in the Chalet and locally. You will not be disappointed if you book this chalet be it in the winter for skiing or summer for hill walking/cycling etc.

A lovely apartment in Petit Chatel. Well appointed and ideal for up to 4 people. Views off the south facing balcony are beautiful. Close to all main facilities with free bus in peak season to Chatel and beyond. Great new pools in Chatel and also Val D'Illiez spa worth a visit over the border. Will definitely be back.

The apartment has a fantastic position overlooking the village of Chatel and surrounding mountains. Sitting on the balcony you have wonderful 180 degrees view of the area and in the evening the summer sun sets around 21.00/ 22.00 hours. The apartment is modern and has all the relevant day to day equipment and appliances you need. The owner Chris Paul provides a full information leaflet not only of the apartment but the area in general and also provides various directions from Calais or Geneva airport in order for you to avoid bottlenecks at certain times of the day. The area during the summer months is ideal for mountain biking and walking and in the winter skiing and snowboarding are ideal for beginners and intermediates. In Chatel you are spoilt for choice with restaurants , good quality and service but there is a price ( when you are on holiday it is nice to spoil yourself). I would recommend the apartment to friends and family without hesitation.

I can strongly recommend this flat, ideal for families with up to three kiddies; very clean, very modern, perfect location in Chatel and close to the skibus, you do not need a car there; we would go there again and recommend to all our friends and readers

An immaculate and well maintained appartment. Compact and comfortable. Ideal for skiing holiday or summer walking, cycling. Ski bus stops just outside and runs regularly until 18.30. Village is a 25 min walk down hill or 35 min walk back up the hill. Has 2 small supermarkets and selection of French/Swiss shops. We found the locals to be friendly. The surrounding Portes du Soleil ski area is vast and mostly interlinked ( may need 20 min walk or bus ride to some resorts). The selection of ski areas and runs would keep most skiers and boarders happy for weeks. I would recommend the Portes du Soleil ski pass rather than the Chatel one. Would definitely recommend and we plan to return next year. Sean Walsh Jan 2013

A well maintained, clean and well equipped apartment with a lovely view of the mountains. Great for summer holidays: we made the most of the area with mountain walks, white water rafting and a trip to the spa resort. Chatel is a lovely small town which has good restaurants that were recommended by the owner. Highly recommended.

The appartment was clean, complete, well located for ski-bus, fresh bread in the morning and ski-area; also closely located to pizza restaurant and easy to drive to the Intermarche. Combined with great views of Chatel and the mountains (and about 3 m of snow) made us really enjoy our holiday.

Very cosy and warm apartment lovley views over the town eveything you need is here. ski bus stop right outside the apartment nearest lift 2 minutes away snow and sking was great Would come again Paul (uk)

An immaculate, very well equipped, warm and comfortable apartment with a surprising amount of storage space for two adults and two untidy teenagers! Both the apartment and the communal areas were clean and very well maintained. Having spent a lot of time in French accomodation this one was really thoughtfully equipped ( sharp knives, decent pans, tea pot and mugs). The seating/beds were comfortable with the added bonus of Sky TV for the kids. The information brochure provided before our visit was really welcome and provided us with everything we needed to know about heating/hot water etc. A car is recommended but by no means essential as the bus route runs past the appartment into town and to the ski lifts. All our communications with the owners have been easy and pleasant. We would recommend this property to friends and family.

After enjoying our stay during the ski season we had no hesitation in booking again for a summertime cycling break. Again the location is superb, close enough to walk to town but far enough away from all the hustle and bustle to really relax. Despite it being quite warm during our stay the apartment remained very cool and comfortable; nothing worse than finding your accommodation turns into a sauna when the sun comes out! However the balcony is a great sun trap and provided the perfect place to switch off after a hard day biking, especially given the fantastic views down the valley. I've happily recommended the apartment to friends given that it is very well equipped, comfortable and represents excellent value for accommodation in a charming alpine village.

Very comfortable, clean and well equipped apartment - spacious by French standards i.e. no bunk beds in the hall! Peacefully situated high above Châtel with great views of the village and mountains. This means that a car is really necessary for shopping forays and evening trips into town - unless you still have enough energy for the long uphill walk back. However, the ski bus does stop right outside so could be used for trips to the slopes. The snow cover was unusually poor during our visit and the local skiing was limited but despite this we were able to enjoy plenty of good skiing from Pres le Joux over to Avoriaz and Switzerland. The owners information pack provided before the visit was comprehensive and very informative. Strongly recommend the restaurant Les Cornettes in La Chapelle d'Abondance, the next village a 10 minute drive down the valley. €22 for a quality 4 course meal plus reasonably priced house wine.

A very pleasant, modern, clean, well-equipped apartment with fantastic views, yet easily accessible. Everything you could need was provided. Information provided prior to arriving (and provided in the apartment) was very useful and detailed. We would not hestitate to recommend this apartment to family and friends and would certainly use it again ourselves. Chatel, a short walk away, is a beautiful place and has everything you could need. The apartment is an excellent base for exploring this area of France/Switzerland.

High up on the valley side the apartment offers spectacular views of the surrounding area. It's only a short walk to town and being off the main roads there are no traffic/noise disturbances. Inside it's well equipped and very comfortable; the shower is powerful with plenty of hot water, sofas & chairs that are perfect for relaxing and beds that make it difficult to drag a bike weary body out of! We had a great time and look forward to returning to try the skiing here next year.
