Perfect location, gorgeous views, wonderful space

We have stayed at numerous home-away/air b-n-b places - and this is the first one that truly was more beautiful than the pictures. Everything is modern - and every bedroom has its own bathroom. The six of us (two sets of parents; two 18-year old boys) loved it. We cooked one night, had breakfast every morning, and used it as a base as it is so centrally located as to be perfect for walking into town and trying all the local restaurants. Oh: and the washer and dryer are an extra bonus when you have been on vacation for a while. All in all, you cannot go wrong. This place is tops!

Wonderful property

We stayed at this wonderful property in Chamonix for 4 days. The house was well equipped and beautiful. The check in and out were simple and communication with the manager was easy. Before we arrived we had all the information we needed. They provided excellent information on the property, the surrounding area and activities nearby. My family of four along with my wife’s parents has a wonderful time. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay at Chamonix. Thank you for letting us stay at your property.

The house was perfect for us! Really clean, confortable and in a very good location near supermarkets, pharmacy and restaurants. The bus stop to go to to the mountains and lifts is also really close to the house, very easy acess. The property also has a room outside the house to keep the equipments and a laundry that were very helpful! The pictures are very realistics! The communication with property manager was really nice since the fisrt contact and all the info received was clear and detailed. If we go back to Chamonix, the propoerty will definitely be an option!

Outstanding vacation in Chamonix

The apartment was immaculately clean and more spacious than we expected. It was everything we needed for our family vacation (2 adults, 3 teens and 1 child). Location was convenient to everything and the property manager was extremely helpful. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The town was crowded and dinner reservations made in advance are a must.

Séjour parfait

Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Sven qui était disponible en cas de besoin. Maison extrêmement bien située et facile d’accès, grand parking privé et à deux pas des bus, si besoin. Un local à ski /buanderie très bien équipé. Un appartement spacieux, très bien équipé. Rien ne manquait. Beaucoup d’information à notre disposition pour bien profiter de notre séjour. Nous avons eu que de bonnes surprises et sommes ravis de notre séjour dans cette très belle maison.

Luxury and comfort in the Alps

We had an amazing stay in this lovely home. Wonderful amenities made us feel at home but also able to enjoy the comforts of a special vacation. The beds and bedding, modern appliances and treats like Apple TV helped us to settle right in. Andrew and Claire were so helpful and have become friends. Can't say enough great things about this place. We will be back. Chamonix and Ski Aguille are lovely.

Fabulous!

Claire and Kirsty were delightfully welcoming and supportive in ensuring my 4 teenage boys and I got as much mileage as possible in our short stay. The house was perfect and really has all of the mod cons needed to sustain the varying attention of teens. The location is perfect to easily enjoy all that Chamonix has to offer. Very enjoyable experience!

A delightful apartment, centrally located

The apartment was extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean and became home-from-home within minutes. It was a pleasure to be on the slopes but equally pleasing to spend time in the apartment. Although only five minutes walk from the town centre, it was quiet with great views from all sides. Bus stop for the slopes was two minutes walk. We would give this twelve out of ten and would stay again without hesitation.

Stunning apartment in Chamonix!

Fabulous ski holiday in Chamonix. The apartment had the wow factor and exceeded our expectations. Very well maintained, welcoming and stylish with sky tv and the internet a hit with our group. The grounds are spacious with ample parking and a heated ski equipment room. Set in a great location, just a few minutes walk to the town centre and all the bars and shops.

Everything of the highest quality.

A party of 6 - we had a wonderful week at the chalet. Everything had been thought out so carefully with comfort and pleasure in view. I could'nt get into bed quick enough and hated getting out! So comfortable. The kitchens were beautifully equipped and functional. Great location and on top of all that we had lovely weather.

Amazing chalet in beautiful Chamonix.

Our first impressions were 'wow'. The location is perfect - Chamonix is just so beautiful but the chalet exceeded all our expectations. It is a large chalet and normally chalets that we have stayed in before have been on the cramped side but this chalet oozes elegance and style is spacious and provided every comfort for our large family. The beds are the best bit so - comfortable - which is just what you need after spending all day on the piste. The chalet is kitted out with everything you need and also has the indulgent extras that makes this place so special, like the Gaggia coffee machine, Apple TV and surround sound music system. Ski Aguille team made our holiday hassle free - it was seamless from the moment we were collected from the airport from a charming driver. We indulged and took advantage of the recommended cook 'Catering Noisette' who arrived each morning with our food for the day - which we just had to head up - every meal was delicious and warm croissants in the morning were a treat. ski shop was a hop skip and a jump around the corner - kitted the team out - again seamless - which when you are a family of 5 definitely helps to keep the stress levels down! To be honest - I would probably shoudl not shout about this place too much as would prefer to keep it a secret as I know when the word spreads it is going to be very tricky to find a week free for team R-B.
