Guest comments
'We had a great time, great location, and the apartment is fabulous it was lovely to have a roomy place for a week when living out of a bag for 5 weeks. I must also comment that your managers were impressive in their customer focus not your standard property managers. It was also surprising to know everything was so close bank, internet cafe, restaurants etc.' (C. Boyle, Australia)
'This flat must have one of the best views in Chamonix - and one of the most comfortable sofas to look at it from' L. Broadbent, London
