Good communication with the owner prior to and after booking. Easy and convenient access arranged which was welcomed after a long drive. Good size accommodation that was bigger than the photo's suggested. Everything provided for a comfortable stay, good facilities and the owner was on site to make sure that everything was OK. Handy for the Morillon telecabin which was a short walk away. Would definitely recommend and return to the chalet if available.
Excellent host contact and helpfulness.The appartement is as described slightly dated but perfectly comfortable and clean and warm.Close to Morillon Gondola 10 min walk, so it is close enough to all that Morillon has to offer.If walking on very slight slope up a road to the property.Good value given the proximity to main village
We had a great stay! Everything we needed for a long stay was in the apartment and Mary and Jamie were on hand if we needed information or help. Would thoroughly recommend!
GĂźte trĂšs propre literie moyenne petite salle de bain et petite chambre dont une sans fenĂȘtre
Pour 2 jours ça va mais une semaine Ă 4 câest un peu juste.
The property is conveniently located - within 5 minutes walk to the lake and 10 minutes to Morillon 'High Street'. It is spacious and, thanks to the shutters, it was pleasant and cool in the hot summer temperatures. The owners were very helpful, with great communication. Lovely neighbours too - the French lady was very sweet.
Mary was an excellent host giving accurate and relevant information about the Apartment and area.
She was very willing to answer ant questions and let us into the property earlier than check in time when requested.
Mondayevening the 3rd we booked the appartment.
Payments was arranged over a VRBO link by the owner.
Tuesday the 4th we arrived late in the evening and everything was settled and prepared as communicated by the owners.
Next day they came allong to check whether we arrived well and found evrything ok.
Nice service.
The appartment is a described, everything is working fine and though the building is old, the inner part of the appartment is really perfect.
Bedding and towels were prepared, giving a realy nice Hotel-like welcome idea.
Thanks again
A last minute change in plans led us to staying in this apartment. It is old fashioned with shutters on the windows, wood everywhere and warms up nicely. The amenities are characterful and adequate. It reflects that the main reason for being here would normally be the chance to use the sporting aspects of the area, such as VTT in the summer, skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. There is no apparent outside garden/recrational spaces.
I live in Morillon with my partner, Jamie, and our two children, Juliet and Cameron. Jamie and I have been living in this part of the French Alps for 10 years. We live and work here all year round. In the summer we run a mountain biking holiday business, Ride the Alps. In the winter Jamie is a snowshoe guide and igloo builder.
Morillon is a village in the Haute Giffre valley, also part of the Grand Massif. This is one of the most beautiful areas in the French Alps. It has managed to maintain a traditional alpine village feel whilst also being a very successful summer and winter mountain resort. We love mountain sports - mountain biking, skiing, trail running, climbing etc. - and this is the ideal place to do all of these things. It's also a wonderful place for family life. There are heaps of activities on offer for kids all year round.
