We very much enjoyed our stay in this very tasteful and fully equipped chalet. The owners have visibly put a lot of thought into creating an aesthetic and inviting space full of comforts and convenience. Kitchens and bathrooms are of a high standard and the entertainment systems are well thought through and make for a pleasant atmosphere. Distance to the slopes is about ten minutes and a comfortable drive away.
Lovely house with a well equipped and big kitchen. All bedrooms had their own bathroom, everything very modern and clean. We were 9p age 12-52 and truly enjoyed our stay. Darren the host has been most friendly and helpful. We consider to come back!A car to take you to the slopes helps a lot, we went most of the days to Ardent or to Les Gets.
We had a fantastic stay at Le Chalet de Soie. Not only was the weather great and the hikes excellent, but Darren's truly luxury Chalet was just perfect. The interior design, amenities (beyond standard expectations), top quality appliances, multimedia equipment, supplies. Darren was very responsive and helpful. Very highly recommended (for the summer but I guess it's as great for the winter)
Lovely chalet. The best bits-Comfy beds, great showers, everything you need in the kitchen, lovely sun deck and balcony for all day sun.
Great host. Thoroughly recommended
Had a great time and the chalet is in a great location for both Morzine and Ardent lifts.
Great host as well who made sure everything was ok from the moment we booked to the moment we left. Would definitely come back
We had a wonderful few days in this property. Amazing snow conditions and great to come home to this beautiful chalet after a hard day skiing. The property was even better than our expectations and we would definitely return. We would highly recommend staying here.
Extremely well presented chalet with great facilities - high standards throughout. Hosts are great on the communications and helped us ensure we made the most of our stay. Highly recommended.

Chalet de Soie
I cannot recommend the property or the service more. The chalet itself is stunning, beautifully finished and furnished to the highest level. Darren, the owner, could not be more helpful. I have honestly never received such excellent communication and attentiveness. From initial booking to knowledge of local information and insider insights, our stay was made all the more enjoyable as a result of Darren. Thank you!!!
The strength of the reviews drew us to this chalet and it did not disappoint. We booked rather late in the day and were a little concerned about its slightly out of town position but this turned out to be no problem at all, in fact quite the opposite. The centre of Morzine is only a ten to fifteen minute walk away and the chalet is positioned right on the free bus route. This allowed us to get into town (for access to Morzine/Les Gets) or to get onto a connecting service up the valley to the Prodains Express telecabine up to Avoriaz. Similarly, taking the bus service from outside the chalet in the opposite direction takes you to the Ardent telecabine and straight up to the Les Lindarets area, another way to access the Avoriaz and Swiss areas. These are all short bus trips but there is also plenty of off street parking should you wish to bring a car.
The chalet was cosy and beautifully presented with a very modern kitchen, log burner, boot room with washer/dryer, Apple TV, Sonos sound system and great views from the balcony to name but a few of the main attributes. En suites in every room was also a welcome feature.
There were three young children in our group and they loved the chalet. There were high chairs and cots provided, a basket of toys and the balcony areas were all made safe.
We opted to get external catering into the chalet, with some of the party preferring to eat in every night and others wanting half in and half out at local restaurants. Darren was really helpful with suggestions and I could not recommend Kayleigh Mackenzie more highly. The menu was varied and delicious and she was incredibly flexible in fitting around our preferences. Truly fantastic.
Most notably, Darren was very supportive right from the first contact, keeping in regular phone contact to answer questions about local facilities, transport, restaurants (on and off the slopes), crĂšche and babysitter options, equipment hire and all the things you feel more comfortable about knowing before you travel. He never failed to get back to us really quickly with all the information we requested. As well as the chalet you also get an attentive local expert!
We had an amazing week in Chalet de Soie. The only thing left to chance was the snow.
We absolutely loved everything about Chalet de Soie. We loved returning after a day of skiing to sit in front of the fire in the cosy living room...every window you looked out of had such amazing views. Such good facilities for groups (we were 9), with an added bonus of individual bathrooms for each bedroom. We are back less than a week and have already started to plan our next visit. Thank you Darren & Katya
We stayed for a week in March 2016 and had a brilliant time. The chalet is of exceptional standard - the layout, design and structure is of the highest quality, and plenty of room for all. 10 adults stayed for the week and we had excellent service from the owners - from information and advice on how to get to the lifts, where to go for dinner, where to shop, where to collect our ski equipment. Service was second to none, highly recommend this chalet!
A superb family holiday at Chalet de Soie. The chalet is spotless with every modcon you desire (instant boiling water and Sonos our favourites)yet still with a warm and traditional feel - the beds are fabulous. Just a short stroll to numerous bars, restaurants and the cable cars. So much to do in Summer in and around Morzine so this place is fabulous for families. Katiya/Darren offer so much in the way of invaluable advice as to where to visit/eat /drink which saved so much time and we were never disappointed. Highly Recommend.
Fantastic property in all respects. The owners have thought of just about every comfort in the creation of this chalet. In addition Darren and Katya could not have been more helpful prior to and during our stay. I highly recommend this charming property.
Imagine 3 families in a beautiful place, Morzine..And hosted in all the confort you can imagine : Le Chalet de Soie..
That's what happened to us ;-)..
Le CHALET : The cocoon you need after a 100% ski run-day !
Unforgettable.
We are Darren and Katya, the owners of Chalet de Soie. We live in London with are two young boys. We weren't expecting to buy a property in France but we saw the chalet and fell completely in love with it quite literally at first sight. And life went off unexpectedly into a different direction from that moment. The original owner used the top floor as a silk painting studio, and it had been used and loved for innumerable family holidays over the years. We completely renovated and modernised it from top to bottom, so it could continue to be enjoyed for many years to come.
We have always loved Morzine, which is part of the biggest ski area in Europe. We've skied here for many years, watched friends get married here, and fall in love with it all over again every time we visit. We can get from our London home to the chalet door in 5 hours (it's just one hour's drive from Geneva). The town sprawls along both sides of a river gorge, which our chalet overlooks. It is an attractive and charming chalet-style town, with plenty to do for all members of the family. We enjoy it just as much in summer as in winter, and every time we visit we discover more and more things to do here. And if skiing isn't for you, then the swimming pools, ice rink, fitness centre, and cinemas might appeal, in addition to plenty of hiking, snowshoeing, paragliding or tobogganing.
Chalet de Soie is a 10 minute walk from the centre of Morzine with its delicious restaurants and lively bars. The chalet is also a 10 minutes easy walk to the nearest lift or if you're feeling lazy, 50 metres from the free bus route, accessing 650km of exceptional skiing in France and Switzerland. When we renovated the building, we made sure it ticked all the boxes in terms of facilities and home comforts that we always look out for when we rent a holiday property. It had to have all the standard modern conveniences, some fun additional ones, as well as home-from-home charm and comfort. We also wanted to make the most of the wonderful view - so we turned the front of the property almost entirely into glass on all floors, letting in all that lovely light and the mountain views.
