A lovely chalet right on the run. Sadly there was very little snow this year so we were unable to ski in and out by midweek. Itâs not far to the gondola though so it wasnât-too much of a problem.
The bedrooms were a good size and very comfortable, the sitting room had plenty of seats and was cosy.
The kitchen has all the pots and pans etc that you would need. It was just a shame there were no basics like oils etc to use when cooking.
We had a lovely stay thank you to Cecile
Chalet is superbly located for ski-in ski-out access to Mont d'Arbois, situated just above the Princesse telecabine on the green Plan piste. You need a car to access Megeve (about 10 mins drive to town centre) or to park at a lift station if there is not enough snow for the piste to be open down to the Princesse lift. The location is about half-way between Megeve and Combloux where we hired our skis. The chalet was nice and as described, pleasantly furnished and comfortable. The details say that housekeeping is included, but all that means is that it is prepared with beds made up and towels provided on arrival, and will be tidied again on leaving - by the nice lady who lives next door. The owner is not local; she was pleasant to deal with by email. We had a superb chef for our holiday, provided via a recommendation from the owner. We would have no hesitation in renting this chalet again.
Les points faibles : Communication et exactitude de lâannonce
Summer vacations at Demi Quartier
Megeve is an incredible village in the Alps and the whole region is beautiful and very calm and restful, and there are countless hikes with incredible views of the Mont Blanc or the Aravis, etc. The chalet is confortable with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, a terrasse, well equipped, perfect for our family.
Only big disappointment was the quality of the Wifi - internet which was well below current standards while the description says otherwise, and I had to go to a bar to take a few video calls ... I told Cecile, the owner, but the communication was laggy, and she finally denied having a slow wifi and did not offer any solution.
We spent the week between Christmas 2021 and New year 2022 at the chalet, the first part as a family (with 3 kids, 23, 21, 16) and our dog and the second part when our 2 oldest left us, with two friends couples. First and foremost, there are very few chalets who accept dogs. Ours is a 11y golden retriever, so a BIG thank you to the owners for accepting our dog. It meant the world to us. The chalet is very confortable, very homey. The fireplace is wonderful, it is just annoying that there is no wood ready for the guests and we had to go back and forth to buy some. There were no tools for the fire either (but bellows) so we bought some too. The kitchen is very clean, new and very well equipped, the appliances are top of the line. The rooms are nice: there are clearly 2 masters (top floor and level floor), 1 guest room and 1 smaller room (that we gave to our son). All bathrooms are clean, nice and functional. The chalet is very well located at the bottom of the Plan track, it is very easy to ski in/ski out (to the Princess lift). The view is kind of average as it directly oversees the track (the skiers are very close) and there is a construction in process on the other side of the track, I guess a chalet, with a crane. The entry through the garage is very functional and the ski room on the way up is well placed. Decoration is nice, we would just have appreciated some more indirect lights in the living room (there are none justs ceiling spots). The only thing we really missed compared to other chalets we rented in Megeve or Chamonix is a property manager for the chalet. The owners are not in Megeve and the neighboor is very nice and she does not know and does not manage the house. We had a problem with the entrance door key and it took us several back and forth with the owners to get it sorted out. Overall, a good stay in Megeve !
