Great Apartment

Date Submitted: May 03, 2009   Date of Stay: April 2009
We had a great week in Chalet Argousier -- it was very comfortable, well equipped, clean and in an ideal location. With four children, being so close to the ski bus stop, nursery slopes, and the local shops made a huge difference for us. As the weather was sunny during our stay, we made daily use of the terrace -- despite the fact that it virtually "sits" on the parking lot, there were so few cars around that we felt relatively private. The owners were very responsive and helpful, clearly showing an interest in making our stay as pleasant as possible. We would definitely recommend this apartment and certainly plan to return next year.

Owners Response: Thank you for your very kind comments and especially nice coming from a family living in Geneva..
Being a family ourselves we have made the apartment very comfortable and practable for both children and adults. We like the location very much as their is no need for a car due to everything being on the door step!
Hopefully when you return next winter the pine trees would have grow enough to hide the car park, but it does allow extensive views of the mountains?
Look forward to hearing from you next year..

Richard.

Real Gem

Great location next to the bus stop & near the Centre, not many like this, a real gem?

After a tiring but great day on the slopes it was a pleasure to return to this very comfortable and very well equipped apartment, we settled the children down and enjoyed many relaxing evenings by the fire! We found the apartment had plenty of living space for our 2 families 6 of us, (kids loved the giant bunk beds & DVD’s in their room) some one had obviously invested well in the furniture etc.

And wow the wet room was a real treat after a hard days skiing..

The view from the terrace was stunning, with a few cold beers we sat out in the sun the perfect way to finish off the day, we will be back!

FANTASTIC APARTMENT!
Whiskylime   Auchterhouse Scotland.
Date Submitted: April 23, 2008   Date of Stay: April 2008
Drove to Verbier in April for our childrens first ski hol as well as Granny and Grandad and Auntie!! Apartment is immaculate, well equipped, beautifully decorated with fantastic views. There were 5 adults and 2 children and we all felt very comfortable a real home from home, (it was very useful having 2 bathrooms for getting ready in the morning!) It was great after a days skiing to come home and put the fire on and relax, it is just outside the centre so lovely and peaceful. Unlike the previous review I would have to disagree with the comments, there was 7 of us and it was not cramped, the apartment views are so amazing. You don't need shutters to maintain privacy as there is voile on the windows and we had these open most of the time to take in the views. We used the terrace all the time and if the previous occupants looked properly they would realise that the terrace is NOT shared and the door they refer to is actually a window! When we arrived at the apartment there was a lovely welcome pack from the owners Richard and Louise which was a lovely touch. Also thank you for all your tips and advice regarding Verbier which was very helpful. The supermarket and sport centre was just across the road. The parking lot was handy as we had 2 cars with us and could see the vehicles all the time. Finally the neighbour upstairs is very friendly and helped us out one morning when we ran out of milk. We will definately be returning again next year and if this apartment is free we will most certainly wish to book again.

A brilliant base for a fabulous week of skiing.

Our party of 8, 4 adults and 4 children really enjoyed our ski holiday in apt 101. All amenities to a great standard. Fabulous views outside on the terrace. We loved the heated floors in the bathroom. The added bonus is the bus stop right outside the rear of the property leaving every 15 minutes. Will be booking again next year.

Cramped and smaller than advertised.
Brian2007   Oxfordshire.
Date Submitted: April 01, 2008   Date of Stay: December 2007
This is a nice, well fitted out apartment in a good location near the centre of Verbier. However beware as the "floor area" quoted of 103 square metres includes wall thicknesses and the terrace. The real usable floor area in the apartment is some 70 square metres. Even for six people it is cramped - for 8 it would be amazing!!
As the apartment faces out on the ground floor to a parking lot you need to keep the shutters or curtains drawn to maintain privacy and the terrace is not really usable as such. So there is not much view or space to sit in the sun. It is also directly overlooked by the next door neighbour's kitchen window and their door opens onto it so it may even be shared!
The advertised wi-fi is shared by the other apartments and is slow with a weak and unreliable signal.
All in all an OK base for skiing Verbier but it is small for the price and the lack of any real usable outside area is disappointing.

We have rented many chalet apartments over the years and this one is up there with the very best. The apartment is very comfortable and furnished to a high standard and Richard & Louise have equipped the kitchen so that there is absolutely nothing lacking. Ski gear is well catered for in the basement and to have a lift up to the ground floor is a luxury we never thought we would experience in ski boots.
My grand-daughters loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom and wet-room and the way they could watch DVD's from their bunk beds after active snowy days! We shall definitely book for next season.

A well presented and equipped appartment with great mountain views. An easy bus ride away from the main Medran lift. Owners Richard and Louise were really helpful and able to provide good advice with regard to our holiday plans.

A holiday in the sun
JimmyC   Cambridge.
Date Submitted: February 18, 2008   Date of Stay: February 2008
Thankyou for helping us have a fantastic holiday. Nice and easy access to the chalet and a really well fitted apartment which made our life nice and easy for the week. Having the Wifi access was a real benefit as the family who traveled with us had to keep up with a daughter going through a difficult time at university and it enable me to keep up with the work chores in the face of the onslaught of 7 days fantastic skiing in uninterupted sunshine. The property was very clean and well maintained and big enough for the two adults and three children on the holiday.

I would reccomend to a friend.
