A really great place and amazing hosts. We have ton of fun in this house - it's close to different hikes and a short drive from Chamonix.
Would 100% visit again :)
We are an Irish/English family who have lived in the French Alps since 2004. We have bought and renovated this large "Maison du Maitre" which has a separate apartment with its own entrance. We love the outdoor life in this region both for Summer and Winter and the Savoyard culture and lifestyle.
Becuet Apartment is set in a tranquil location with direct views over Mt Blanc. It's easy to get to from Geneva ( 50 minutes by car ) and great for access to Combloux ( 10 minutes ) St Gervais ( 15 minutes ) Megeve ( 15 minutes ) , Chamonix ( 30 minutes) and the Mt Blanc Tunnel is just 20 minutes away for access to Cormeyeur and Aosta.
So if you would like to try different ski resorts each day, Becuet is a great base. Alternatively, if you want to ski locally, either Princess lift for Megeve / St Gervais, or Combloux pistes are super close. But the thing that sets Becuet apart is the peaceful location so that in the morning before you set out, and in the evening when you return, you have a very tranquil environment free from noise of neighbours or cars. Our guests report they get the best nights sleep here !
Not everyone wants to race around the mountains all day, and there is enough space here in the grounds and locally in the forests and Lac Passy to take a more leisurely pace and just breathe in the air and relax.
Most chalets we see are relatively small and designed to accommodate as many guests as possible on the assumption they want to sleep and then head to the mountains. When we made Becuet apartment, we recognised that guests might appreciate more space, with open views and plenty of nice luxuries. There os no shortage of mountain activities around the area, but what is unique for Becuet apartment is that at the end of the day, you can come home to a truly unique and stylish base for an evening to relax and enjoy !
