Review Submitted: June 2, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
This place was fabulous. It was in a superb location for summer walking and the views from the balcony were great. The place was very clean, well equipped and maintained. It had everything you could possibly need to make your holiday more than comfortable. It is v handy for the Via Ferrata and just over an hour to Chamonix and all that it offers. There were loads of towels provided and the owners made sure a highchair and cot was available for our 14 month old son at no extra cost.
The place itself was almost shut down in the last week of May, but that didnt matter to seasoned walkers like ourselves. It is a nature lovers paradise and worth another visit !!

Skiing Feb 2008

Review Submitted: February 24, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
So impressed with this apartment. Set in a small but lovely village, quiet but with everything you need. We loved it. The surrounding ski areas are excellent and offered everything we needed in runs. Chez Lulu the local bar was friendly and welcoming and the pizza restaurant next door was alos great. We knew we would be happy here when we purchased fresh rillet from the village butchers and cornichon and bread from the little supermarket -delicious!

I can highly recommend this apartment- whet a treat to come home to at the end of a hard days skiing- warm, comfortable and spacious - top marks!!

Seriously looking at booking for next year just need to sort out the dates.

Review Submitted: February 21, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
This is the third time I have stayed at this chalet and I hope that it will not be my last! The snow was excellent and the La Giettaz skiing resort is the best that I have been to. It benefits from less crowds compared to Megeve and makes for a enjoyable skiing experience. There is more than enough skiing to keep you interested for a week of two. The free shuttle bus to the slopes (10mins) from just outside the chalet means that you do not have to be tied to your car too.
The chalet itself is excellent - very comfortable and with all the necessary mod cons.
I cannot recommend this chalet strongly enough!!

Fond memories

Review Submitted: January 25, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2007
We stayed here back in Easter 2006 (not 2007 as on the "form"), after I finally persuaded my wife to try ski-ing. The warmth and friendliness of reserving the accommodation with Morag beforehand was key in sealing the deal! We found the property better than described - being warm, comfortable, spacious and attractive. The fully fitted kitchen, lovely beds and duvets and quality bath / shower rooms all contributed to a fabulous home for the week. The atmosphere in the village from the welcoming evening in the square, to the small shops and bars, was all always friendly, perhaps benefiting from all the owners apparently being related to one and another in some way! The ski-school were excellent, putting up with us and our friends very diverse requirements, with Sandrine being a particular star. The only slight downside, through no fault of the owners, was, being Easter, the snow had deteriorated somewhat. Even so, there was a fresh fall mid-week to brighten things up. Obviously, you are not right on the slopes here, but in some ways that was preferable for our requirements of a holiday incorporating ski-ing, rather than 10 hours a day on the slopes. All in all we would love to return (hence why I am looking and now writing this very belated review) once the large puppy we acquired last year is settled and ready for kennels!
Owner's Response: We should be delighted to welcome you back. It's also a wonderful place for a summer holiday if you enjoy mountain activities.

Little Beauty!

Review Submitted: January 23, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
Our stay in La Giettaz could not have been any better, it has now set the standard for what we expect everytime my friends i and look for accomodation. i dare say we will return next year at least, if not for the next few!

The location is ideal, a small town with a good boulangerie close by for the breakfast pain au chocolate and friendly atmosphere with helpful locals.

The nearby slopes accessed from Le Plan (Torraz chairlift) are only 5km's up the road and were quiet and give access to the smaller side of the Megeve area - easily enough terrain to keep most happy for a day or two. The apt is also close to a number of linked ski area's: the larger main Megeve area aswell as the smaller Val D'Arly and La Clusaz.
We were lucky enough to have such good conditions at La Plan we did not find time to visit Val D'Arly but found that the larger Megeve area was better laid out than La Clusaz and less busy.

The apt. itself is warm and very comfortable, with a few things you may not expect! The kitchen has a good gas hob and proper oven, there is also a microwave but we found we never need it. We are all keen cooks, and we found everything we needed to make our evening meals an occasion.

The lounge area is very welcoming, a larger comfy couch and 2 lazy armchairs with footstools (just what is needed after a long day in the snow), TV and DVD player which also works as a stereo (complete with an MP3 cable) is a nice touch and left us wanting for nothing.

The rooms are well laid out and the power shower in the ensuite of the double room is better than any long soak in a bath!

I would not hesitate to recommend this apt to anyone looking for a little bit of luxury and access to some wonderful slopes and scenery without the noise and fuss of a busy resort.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautifully refurbished spacious apartment. Everything has been thought about from the extremely powerful shower to the well-equipped kitchen (which inspired some of us to new heights in culinary prowess!). The village was very friendly, too, especially in the form of Chez Lulu bar, where we were, on occasion, plied with free drink and food! We’ll be back! Maris Ozols, April 2005
