A fantastic rental!

13 friends enjoyed Original Chalet for a week in late June. Carmen and Andreea were responsive with any questions we had before we arrived. Carmen arranged for a Chef's dinner our first night so we we could relax in the Chalet without cooking and cleaning. I would highly recommend that! Andreea gave us a tour of the house when we arrived and stopped by midweek to see if we needed anything. The house is clean, large and comfortable. Each bedroom has a full modern bathroom. the hot tub and sauna were fun and we used them often throughout the week. The kitchen has everything we needed (and more!) to cook large dinners. I would recommend this chalet for families, friends and business retreats. Finally, the Chamonix experience is excellent. The town is set up for tourists, the shopkeepers and restaurants are friendly. The hiking and stunning views are the best in the world! Many thanks for a great week!

Paradise in Chamonix

We really enjoyed our time here. Its walking distance from the shops, bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and the sauna and jacuzzi were wonderful after a day of activities. The kitchen was fantastic with two fridges, ovens, dishwashers,sinks and a big island. Andreea was amazing as our host. Highly recommend!

Amazing chalet for a big group

8 en suite bedrooms and a gorgeous kitchen and living room. Highly recommend for a group of friends. A walk to the bus stop and a decent journey to the major ski lifts, but a worthy compromise for such a great house! And the hosts were super accommodating for check in and check out.

Voor de tweede keer en weer een feest om hier te verblijven

Met onze (klein) kinderen hebben we voor de tweede keer een week gelogeerd in dit heerlijk huis. Op loopafstand van het centrum van Chamonix en met uitzicht op de mont blanc! De ruime, luxe , en verzorgde kamers, maakten dat iedereen zich op zijn gemak voelde. De volledige inventaris maakte dat er nergens gebrek aan was. De ontvangst en communicatie was hartelijk. Bij vragen werd er meteen gereageerd. Er zou wat klein onderhoud gepleegd moeten worden aan de buitenkant van het huis, maar dat stond ons heerlijke verblijf zeker niet in de weg. We hebben een fantastische week gehad. Dank daarvoor!

Top huis

Eindelijk een huis gevonden die voldoet voor een grote familie. Prachtige slaapkamers met eigen douche, fantastische keuken met grote inductiekookplaat en goed kookgerei. Mensen zijn toppie. Nadeel is kleine tuin doordat grote jacuzzi veel ruimte inneemt. En dan het uitzicht op de Mont Blanc!
