Great to settle in to for a good length of time.

Very relaxing. Very well equipped home away from home. Great access to lifts for easy walking up top and a peaceful small lake to enjoy nearby. Perhaps a little too much travel on crowded buses if you are going to chamonix almost daily for Cosmo events (only 4 star rating) as we were. Otherwise 5 star. Local manager was terrific for communication with a personal touch. Would recommend highly.

Lovely apartment, superb views

The apartment is perfectly located in the village, just a 5 min walk to the centre and 2 min walk to Bellevue lifts. The apartment is very comfortable, inside and outside. The views from the balcony of the mountains are amazing. Great place to stay, highly recommended.

Lovely apartment

Have visited the Chamonix area several times and always stayed in Les Houches as very convenient location for exploring the valley. This apartment was excellent. Clean and well equipped. Very Comfortable beds. View from the balcony was fabulous. Photos don't do it justice! We will definitely return.

A very clean, comfortable and good appartment with all the necessary facilities and wonderful views.

We had a marvellous stay, the apartment was very comfortable and were very hsppy to spend most of our evenings there chilling out. The underground parking and lift connection to the apartment was very good. Great to have a washing machine as well as the dishwasher. The satellite television was useful. Some suggestions which we hope will be seen as constructive. The book with apartment information needs to be updated covering all points in English. A coffee table in front of the sofa's would be really a useful addition for the drinks to stand on, when you are sitting down. Thanks for a great trip. Apart from that a very good apartment.

Well-appointed and comfortable apartment with great view in excellent location

We have been returning to this apartment in Les Houches over the February half term for the past four years. It is ideal for our family - 2 adults, 2 children - offering a spacious living and dining area, a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. As we drive from the UK, the availability of a garage inside the building is particularly helpful during the ski season. The apartment is less than 5 mins walk from the Bellevue Cable Car, ski bus stop and a selection of good local shops and restaurants. It is a short drive from Chamonix and, while the skiing in Les Houches is lovely, it offers easy access by car, bus or train to the ski areas elsewhere in the valley and also those in nearby Saint Gervais, Megeve, Combloux, Les Contamines and Courmayeur. We will be returning next year.

L appartement est lumineux avec une magnifique vue sur l aiguille du midi. Il est très bien situé et très bien équipé. Les propriétaires acceptent les animaux. Le garage en sous sol est quand même étroit ( sans problème pour une petite voiture) Une location où l on a envie de revenir.

Etat et lieux

Appartement agréable et fonctionnel ,avec très belle vue sur l'égaille du midi . bien implanté dans le village , proches des remontées , difficulté de garder les fenêtres ouvertes ,surtout la nuit, car le bruit de la national reste important . Il y des progrès a faire sur le ménage , canapé très fragile , la hotte aspirante à des odeurs de graisse ;( filtres ) A part ces petits détails , cela reste tr"s positif , sans regret , à conseiller .

Confort aux Houches

Facile d’accès et très confortable. L’appartement fourni un espace très spacieux et agréable avec une vue superbe. Très pratique, proche de la télécabine Bellevue et de l’arrêt de bus pour Chamonix. Nous reviendrions avec plaisir. Le Spa de Chamonix est exceptionnel et les restaurants de qualité. Le domaine skiable est magnifique, pour les skieurs comes pour les autres.
