A beautiful spacious apartment, with all the comforts of homeâŠ.big (proper!) sofas, lovely beds with quality linens, and a kitchen we could actually enjoy cooking in! A couple of minutes walk into the centre of St Gervais & an easy flat walk to the ski gondola (or bus just outside). We were 4 adults, and really enjoyed the space. We had stayed in the apartment on a previous trip, and would return again without hesitation. Excellent communication with the ownerâŠall very easy and stress free :)
Beautiful old apartment in central Saint-Gervais les bains
We had a wonderful vacantion in the nicely decorated and comfortable apartment. The building entrance and stairways are in need of a renovation, but donât be in discouraged, the flat is wonderful with a modern kitchen, comfortable beds and two designer bathrooms. The little town has all you can wish for, only a couple of hundred meters from the flat there are a lots of restaurants, bakeries, butcher, small supermarkets and sportshops. We have been in the area before and love the skiing. Especially good are les Contamines-Montjoie and Cote 2000. Saint Gervais is perfectly located in the middle of the Evasion-Mont Blanc ski system and we enjoyed the pleasure of being a in a lively little town. We definitely want to return!
Super location. Spacious, apartment with character. Local agent information/provisions poor.
The apartment was furnished well by the owners - interesting mix of modern and traditional. Very comfortable beds. Reasonably well appointed with good TV/DVD/ dvd movies to use. Communication with the owner was excellent.
Main door lock a little difficult but soon got used to it. Had to call the agent as he'd left very little instructions. He had prepared no proper welcome folder.
All holiday lettings we previously stayed in had a welcome pack and folder, including information on local bus routes, maps, emergency information, medical contacts etc. None of this, unfortunately.
The brief instructions to the ski locker were not clear. Not even milk (or any other small essentials left out for us by the agent eg milk, tea/coffee, biscuits). Although towels were provided, there were no bath mats. Only one cheap loo roll left by agent in each bathroom. No spare bin liners, no instructions left on waste disposal/recycling. No oven glove provided (health and safety?) - only one tea towel. No kitchen roll, wipes or cleaning cloth.
When the agent brought us three bin liners, tea towel and a strange oven/heat mat, he seemed quite indifferent. He did, however provide better information on location of ski locker.
Having said this, we were generally pleased with the apartment itself. It is spacious, comfortable, generally well furnished and very convenient for the town and ski area. The ski bus stop is almost right outside the door. We were happy with the kitchen, but the oven took a long time to heat up (no instructions on settings). Items which could have been useful: a microwave, a proper chopping board/bread board and sharpened cook's knife.
The apartment is in a former hotel of historical interest and is an imposing building. The large windows, balcony and views from this apartment is an attractive feature. Good to have a basement ski locker. In spite of one or two annoyances/failings, we enjoyed the apartment and the holiday.
Really lovely characterful apartment very enjoyable stay in a really lovely town.

We had a wonderful vacation in the lovely apartment in a 100+ former hotel. The apartment is a combination of old and new with stately charm and updated kitchen and designer bathrooms. The building entrance and stairways are in need of a renovation, but the apartment is wonderful and very comfortable.
It is a very easy walk into the heart of St Gervais (5 minutes) for shops and restaurants and the ski bus to the gondola is just outside the front door, making the location perfect. Would recommend!
An old hotel building dating back over 100 yearsâŠ. now full of apartments. The building is stately from the outside, retains 100 year old charm on the inside. The apartment is a reflection of old and new with updated kitchen and bathrooms. Well appointed with everything a family needs for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The easy walking distance into the heart of St Gervais (5 minutes) and walking distance to both the tram and gondola make the location perfect. Highly recommend for families.
We eventually had a very nice week at this lovely apartment after arriving to a complete lack of heating and electricity. We managed to turn both on but as the rooms had become very cold it took a long time for them to heat up. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were hot and powerful. Itâs a short walk into the centre of St Gervais which is a charming little town with good shops and restaurants. We took our rental car to the ski lift where there is plenty of parking.
This apartment is unlike anything you will ever find in a ski property. It is located in a large, Victorian building (I believe originally the first hotel in St Gervais). The apartment is grand - two large bedrooms each with their own bathroom, a cosy lounge overlooking the valley, and a fully equipped kitchen/diner. The ski bus stops outside the building with a ten minute ride to the main cable car from St Gervais - it also stops at the tram station for Mont Blanc. A gentle walk into the town itself gives access to high end shops and restaurants, and several coffee/pattisseries. We had a truly wonderful break and will definitely return.
A beautifully furnished apartment in a fantastic location
The glamorous apartment is located in a wonderful building in the heart of the village. Within a 5 minute walk you have all the shops, restaurants that cater to all of your needs. The owner is wonderful to deal with and has been most helpful before and during or stay. We Skied St Gervais, and also Contamines which is a 5 min drive away. Both resorts were great for beginners to advanced. We are looking to return.
This is a lovely apartment.Really lovely. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. Everything needed for your stay. Good wi-fi, good tv etc
St Gervais is a proper mountain village with shops, bars and restaurants. Best of all is the patisserie , excellent fresh bread and tarts.
Ski lift is a 2 minute drive from the apartment. 5-10 minute stroll. Best option is to rent heated ski locker at gondola station , takes 5x boots and 5x skis per locker.
St Gervais is very easy and quick to get to from Geneva. Parking is available in front of the apartment or nearby lane.If you want a day off from skiing visit Chamonix and take the cable car up Mont Blanc.
My husband and I live in London. We use the apartment rarely, although it is special to us. I have uploaded a photograph of the most important member of the family as she is certainly the boss!!
It is warm, cosy, St Gervais really is a very special hidden gem of a place where the people are friendly, the atmosphere is warm all year round and it is relaxed and comfortable. I am an interior designer and like nice things, therefore we wish people to enjoy the apartment and all that is in it as it is not the regular rental. It is warm and cosy as I say, but it is robust and usable so easy to enjoy!! We have made sure everything is there for enjoyment including the Bose sound system, the Nespresso coffee machine and large flat screen TVs in the bedroom (to watch lounging in the egg bath or from the large bed) and reception room where both the large comfy sofa or the small two seater have ideal views both of the TV and the amazing views over the mountains.
Apartment has an amazing view, the proportions of the rooms are fabulous, literally a 1 min walk to town, ski bus right outside the front door in winter, loads of great cafes and restaurants to eat outside in Summer having walked and mountain biked and only 45 minutes drive from Geneva so accessible for a long weekend!
