March 2012 Email from Gerard Goeken:
Dear Lucy,
I just want to tell you that we had a marvellous week in Chapelle d 'Abondance.
There was enough snow and a lot of sun.
But also we stayed in a very nice and complete appartment.
An appartment to be proud on.
If we decide to go to Chapelle d'Abondance next year I will certainly
contact you for the possibility to rent your appartment again.
With kind regards,
Gerard Goeken

Owner profile
Terry, Lucy & Rosie Hewett
About the owner
I live in England with my husband Terry, my daughter Rosie and my 2 step daughters Holly and Chloe visit regularly. Terry runs an advertising and marketing company and I am chief cook and head gardener at home! We were late to learn to ski but fell in love with it and enjoy it as an activity we can all do together. France is so vast and beautiful and we have only just begun to explore it from our apartment base in the Alps.
Year purchased: 2009
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
After visiting and staying with friends who live in Bernex for a couple of years we learnt to ski and fell in love with the area; the beautiful scenery; the lovely ski resorts; the food; the culture and so decided to buy a base of our own in the region.
Unique benefits of the property
La Chapelle d'Abondance is a lovely little village and although it is not as famous as it's neighbour Chatel it is therefore not as manic which suits us well, we have the access to so many resorts that we have only just touched on all the different areas we can ski in since we have bought the apartment in 2009 so there is loads of choices for us and the slopes never seem too crowded. We are spoilt for choice for good restaurants around us or we have the option to stay in if we feel exhausted after a day on the slopes or walking.
