A cosy apartment with a pretty little garden, spectacular views of the mountains.
We loved our holiday at the chalet apartment. It is set on a hillside, so there are about 100 steps from the car parking area to the chalet, but the positives of this are the tranquility of the setting, the spectacular views of the valley and the mountains - and it helps to keep you fit!! There is a large picture window in the main bedroom, so you can wake to a stunning vista, but also electric shutters to keep it cool. The chalet has a lovely terrace with table and chairs, and a small but pretty grassed garden. It is approximately a ten minute walk to the village, which has everything you need without having to drive - a couple of small supermarkets, boulangeries, eateries, shoos and banks. It is a pretty and lively village, which had music and a mountain festival when we were there, plus a weekly market on a Wednesday. There is also a fabulous outdoor swimming pool,, trampolines, high ropes , tennis etc etc. We are keen walkers and cyclists, and both are available direct from the door without having to drive anywhere. Beautiful places such as Annecy and Geneva are under an hour away, and Chamonix is also an easy drive, with cable cars up the Aguille du Midi ( amazing experience), and Brevent. The mist incredible views of Mont Blanc too. We went to the chalet as a couple with a dog, but have also holidayed in Grand Bornand as a family when the children were young, and it is a perfect location for both.
The owner of the property (Benoni) who lives in the upper apartment of the chalet, was delightful, really friendly without being interfering, and super-helpful with maps and general information about the area. We would highly recommend both the chalet and the village for a tremendous holiday.
