Thanks for a great week, definitely one would return to. Very well equipped, a great venue if you want Alpine beauty. I see someone was complaining that the stairs creak in the night, err well that's wood does!
Lovely chalet with a beautiful view of the valley. Short drive up to ski hills and into town. There are lots of interesting walks from the chalet door.
A fantastic location with great views, We all had a fantastic stay the chalet was comfortable and well equipped location to Sommand is fantatsic10min drive up the mountain and on the. slopes.
We had a lovely summer holiday here. If you want privacy, lovely views (Mont Blanc!!), and a great house for relaxing, walks, and nice quiet evenings, than this is the place to be! The owners were very friendly, and they send us good information about the house, the villages, and some walks.
We highly recommend this lovely house for a summer stay!
Lovely homely chalet with absolutely amazing views.
Very well equipped. Great walks nearby. Few things a bit dated but the chalet has a lovely warm feel to it.
The host was very helpful, answering our queries quickly and clearly had fantastic knowledge of the local area.
Please note the hot tub is wood fired so takes a long time to warm up, so you do need to be around all day to get it warmed up which for us wasn't practical as we spent our days out exploring,
We had a lovely time in the chalet even without any snow. The size was great for a 8 person party and the view from the balcony incredible.
Some upgrades to the appliances are necessary, the dishwasher was broken, sink clogged and not enough glasses/plates so we had to do a lot of hand washing. Also the floors were creaking a lot(I know an old chalet) so difficult to sleep if anyone wanted to go ul and down the stairs.
Overall a good experience
We had never been to Haute Savoie before. It is a remarkable natural landscape in the immediate (Sameons valley) and wider surroundings.
The cottage is comfortably furnished, very clean and the kitchen is well equipped with numerous appliances. Deep sleep is guaranteed, the memorable silence is accompanied only by the sound of the torrent.
The location - secluded - is exceptional and met our expectations. Only the weather didn't want to show its best side - for alpine hiking - so we enjoyed our stay in the chalet all the more, with a crackling fire.
Nearby shopping facilities in Mieussy offer fresh bread, delicious meat products and of course wonderful cheese, not just but also from the super cow âAbandonceâ. Excursions to the surrounding area, Evian and Annecy offered good alternatives in bad weather.
We hope for more stable weather for our next vacation in Nigel and Irene's wonderful vacation home.
PS. Communication with Nigel was always swift and to the point.
Das Haus hat eine sehr schöne Lage und ist gut ausgestattet. Wir haben eine schöne Woche verbracht. Leider konnten wir den "hot tub" nicht mit Wasser fĂŒllen, da die Wasserleitungen defekt sind. Hier wĂ€re dringend Handlungsbedarf. Bei so schönem Wetter, war es sehr schade den "hut tub" nicht benutzen zu können.
Das Chalet war ein Traum fĂŒr uns als 5-köpfige Familie. Wanderungen direkt vom Haus, gemĂŒtliche Kaminabende bei Regenwetter, schöne MĂ€rkte in der Umgebung, eine toll ausgestattete KĂŒche, sogar mit echtem Holzofen (wer mag - es gibt natĂŒrlich auch einen "normalen" Herd und Ofen ;-)), viele Spiele und BeschĂ€ftigungs-möglichkeiten fĂŒr die Kinder. Wir haben eine tolle, abwechslungsreiche und sehr entspannte Herbstwoche verbracht und freuen uns auf eine Wiederkommen. Die Kommunikation mit Nigel war super.
Traditional chalet with beautiful view over mountains and valley. It is not just a holiday home but you step in a wel cared and beloved home. Nothing better than sitting on the terrace/balcony and enjoy the view, watching the birds and squirrels. The chalet itself is well equiped with everything you could need. You find all the information you need on the village, things to do and to visit.
Charming chalet with fantastic views! The chalet has everything you need with a hot tub, hammocks, well equipped kitchen, outdoor pizza oven... Lovely walks from your door into the forests and mountains, not all long, not all steep! We were a family group of 5 adults and had a wonderful time relaxing in this idyllic spot.
When you love hiking in summer this is the ideal place. We very much enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the beautiful view from the house. The hosts are just great. Many thanks!
