This chalet exceeded expectations! Tons of parking for our cars on a private driveway, very spacious rooms by modern standards, and the best breathtaking view of the mountains and slopes that we ever had when staying in Morzine. There is sun and warmth on the balconies in the evening, when the other side of town is in the shade, and there is a very easy walk down into the centre of town, or a choice of two free buses, one of which passes the chalet door. The chalet itself was clean and well equipped, and now that we have found it, we will be back !!
Spacious chalet, well situated for Morzine & Avoriaz
Incredibly spacious chalet, with big rooms and lots of storage space (the twin room downstairs was the only room that wasn't generously sized). Well fitted out, with all the kitchen pots and pans you could need, and thoughtful touches, like plug adaptors. We didn't use the ski bus, but it was a quick drive into Morzine, and an easy drive up to the Avoriaz area, so lots of choice for skiing.
We had a great holiday with two families and teenagers. Itâs located just out of Morzine but itâs a relatively easy walk to the centre. We used a large garage to store our bikes and were able to take the road into town to get the lift up each morning. The house has a great view across the valley and waa extremely well equipped for the eight people in our party.
Absolutely loved our stay in this property. The photos don't do it justice - the view from the living room balcony was spectacular and the bedrooms were spacious with comfy beds - perfect after a hard day skiing.
The host's communication was brilliant and they were very accomodating.
We would definitely come back!
We very much enjoyed our stay here. It is about 15 mins uphill walk from the centre of Morzine, however (in summer at least) it was no problem to drive into Morzine and we appreciated the quiet location and the spectacular view from the living area and balcony.
All the bedding and furnishing was of a good standard and everything was clean.
We only needed to use the bedrooms on the top two floors, the two bedrooms on the ground floor are probably not quite as nice (although still fine) and it's worth noting one is accessed via the other so are best suited to a family. The ground floor also had a useful laundry room and reception area with ski boot warmer.
We cooked most days and found the kitchen had all the pans and utensils we needed, although a small welcome pack with milk etc would have been appreciated as we arrived after the shops had closed.
Morzine looked well supplied with shops and restaurants which in non-COVID times we would have spent more time checking out. Even so the area still has much to recommend it in summer, we found numerous well signposted hikes within 30-40 minutes drive and also enjoyed Morzine's outdoor pool and the water sports at nearby Lake Montriond, plus excursions further afield to Annecy and Lake Geneva.
We hebben hier een week met 10 personen geleefde. Het is een heerlijk ruim huis met een mooi balkon. Grote woonkamer en eettafel en fijne slaapkamers. Alleen de WiFi was slecht.
Welcome to Chalet Jacinthe des Bois, our luxury chalet in Morzine. As a professional couple, and having ski-ed and snowboarded in many locations around the world, we felt that Morzine offered the perfect base in the centre of the vast Portes du Soleil ski area, but with the charm, character and amenities of an old French town. With a young family to consider, we needed a convenient location that was easy to get to, that offered all year round activity for all the family, over and above a superb ski season in one of the best ski areas in the world. This is our second home.
The Portes du Soleil is the largest interconnected ski area in the world. Morzine is an old town with a charm and character which is rare in ski resorts, and the town sits central to this vast area. Geneva airport is only an hours drive away, but Lyon, Grenoble and Chambery airports provide access to this area too. The quality and variety of the restaurants, in addition to the range of shops, and the family friendly atmosphere make this a superb place to be. Morzine provides ski-ing and snowboarding in the winter, but is also a superb place to be in the summer. Mountain biking, golf, tennis, a superb set of outdoor pools, paragliding, skateboarding, walking, the list goes on!! We knew that we could come back to this town every year, and still find new places to ski and things to do.
This chalet was built by its previous owner to exacting specifications. Room sizes are much larger than average, there are three balconies and a terrace. Our chalet sits on the sunny side of the valley, so that the sun warms the balconies and terrace into the evening. The free ski bus service is less than a 1 minute walk from the chalet. The professional Satellite TV system serves the Lounge, but three of the bedrooms also have TV/DVD facilities. The chalet also has a WiFi service for those who need to work or stay connected while on holiday. A table tennis table is also provided just for fun!!
