If it were possible to rate this property higher than 5 stars, we would do so without hesitation.
We looked at many different properties in the area ranging, from Cordon to Chamonix, and none offered the combination of facilities and views that this one does. The 15 rooms are comfortably furnished and each has a private attached bathroom. It is convenient that any of the rooms can be set up as a double or with twin beds. The main owner Edouard was extremely responsive in all his communication with us leading up to our arrival.
The stunning views of Mont Blanc and the Varan mountain chain across the valley never get old.
There was sufficient space for our group to dine comfortably in the main salon, so we did a combination of eating out and having catering meals brought in. We also cooked one meal ourselves as a group activity, which was made easy by the fact that it is a spacious professional kitchen with a walk-in cold room to store our supplies.
It is handy that the 4-star Chamois d’Or is almost next door, which gave our guests an attractive close by dining alternative.
Between the nearby hiking trails, the foosball table and the trampoline outside, there were plenty of activities, and the wifi worked great.
We were staying there as a destination wedding with guests coming from all over the world. The property had enough space to serve as a backup indoor ceremony site in case of bad weather. We didn’t end up needing that, but it was nice to have it as a backup. The main salon has comfortable furnishings, which encouraged mingling amongst our guests, but also gave people enough space to have quiet time to themselves.
There is a nice fully-functioning bar is in the main living area which you can stock and use at your leisure. It has an ice maker, dishwasher, Nespresso-style coffee maker, hot tea kettle and refrigerator of its own. It was such a luxury to have a space like this to use with our guests. It made for a great gathering area and the foosball table was an unanticipated bonus. Other bonuses included the lovely fire pit just outside.
Speaking of bonuses, the biggest surprise of all was the helpful woman living on the property, Amandine. We had originally envisioned someone being there to hand us a set of keys upon arrival and to return those keys to at the end, but instead we were treated to rock star level concierge service that we didn’t realize would be so valuable to us. For example, she placed an order for us each evening
