Fantastic stay in Samoens

We had a fantastic stay in Samoens this September. The property was great with everything that we needed and in an ideal location. Our host provided great local information which allowed us to settle in quickly. Would certainly recommend both the location and the property.

Superb dwelling in the heart of Samoens

Communication with the owner was excellent throughout. The property was very central to Samoens central square, and it overlooked lovely local fields with cows and horses. The house itself was well equipped, with a functional kitchen and a well thought out rooming situation. We were only two people, but the house could deal easily with 6. The wood fire is excellent and warms the house very quickly. We would definitely go back. Excellent!

Bon séjour à Samoens

Bon séjour dans la location. Proximité du centre de Samoens. Propreté parfaite et excellente communication avec la propriétaire. La maison est mitoyenne avec une autre mais cela n’a pas posé de problèmes. La maison est organisée sur 3 niveaux et la chambre du bas, plus fraîche nécessite d’être bien aérée pour ne pas avoir d’odeur d’humidité. La route est à proximité, c’est à prendre en compte pour ceux qui recherche un calme absolu surtout le matin. Nous étions 4 et avons passé un bon moment dans cette location bien équipée

Le bon choix pour une famille.

Une maison de caractère, fort bien aménagée, dans un village qui ne ressemble pas aux stations alpines modernes. Le cadre est magnifique, on y skie, on y luge, on y raquette...

Belle vacances dans un joli village de montagne, chalet idéalement situé.

Beau chalet mitoyen, idéalement situé dans Samoens bien équipé, très chaleureux, joliment décoré, manque un petit bout de jardin. Le coin est parfait et idéal pour la randonnée, le parapente. Hâte de revenir en hiver pour les joies du ski

Chalet agréable, idéalement situé tout près du centre de Samoens

L'ancienne fromagerie est une agréable petite maison proche du centre de Samoens et de toute les commodités. Quelques petits soucis à l'arrivée (l'agent local de Jayne n'avait apparemment pas tout vérifié), mais la communication parfaite avec Jayne nous a largement rassuré et le séjour a été très sympathique. Merci à Jayne pour sa disponibilité et les petites attentions.

Merci pour cet excellent séjour. Tout était parfait. Nous étions attendu comme à la maison. Le chalet est super bien situé, et toutes les prestations sont correspondent à votre description. Nous étions 4 adultes et 5 ados, le chalet est suffisant pour nous accueillir. Encore merci, nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Super sejour

Chalet très propre, décoré avec goût. Petit panier d’accueil très appréciable. idéalement situé dans une rue calme tout étant proche du centre. Le chalet est très bien agencé, super bien équipé (pour cuisiner il y a tous les ustensiles). Avec jayne et Bethan la communication est très facile par mails ou messages. Elles sont vraiment gentilles. Je retiens ce chalet pour de futurs séjours ou vacances

Sympathique séjour à Samoëns

L'Ancienne fromagerie est un petit nid douillet et bien située au calme, à moins de 5 minutes à pied de la place centrale du village. Pour rejoindre les remontées mécaniques du Grand-Massif Express, il y a un arrêt desservi par une ligne de bus (la turquoise) et le Spetitrain et vous êtes au départ des télécabines en 5 min. C'est plutôt idéal.
