Relaxing

Delightfully positioned in the convenient Chamonix suburb of Les Bois, surrounded by forested areas and with incredible views of the Mont Blanc range. There is a feature windowseat from where you can listen to music and observe the stunning peaks of the Mont Blanc range.

From the comfy sofa in the living room you could perhaps connect your laptop to the overhead beamer that can project movies and photos onto the large wall space provided. With a streaming service on your computer you can watch television programmes in this way. 

Please note that the garden overlooks the main dual carriageway and thus is not suitable for meditation or other activities that would be best enjoyed in a calm or silent environment. The interior of the apartment has excellent sound insulation and is a much better location for such activities.

In case the clients wish to maintain the reservation even when new or existing rules would block the reservation from happening, then a cancellation fee of 50%* will apply if these reservations are subsequently cancelled.
