Owner profile
About the owner
My husband Mike and I live just outside Winchester in Hampshire. Mike has just retired and I now work part-time, so we look forward to spending more time walking in the surrounding countryside and of course in Villars.
We fell in love with the views from the balconies as soon as we were shown the apartment - a few days after it came onto the market in September 2004.
Over 6 years later, we continue to enjoy the stunning views during our visits and take great pleasure from the glowing feedback we receive from all our guests who have stayed in the apartment since January 2005.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
These are some of the many lovely comments from our guests who have stayed in the apartment.
"We had the best ever ski holiday - we've been lucky enough to go skiing in lots of places but I don't think we've had a better view than the one from your apartment - everything was great!"
"Your apartment is fantastic - how we will miss waking up to those views and the sound of cow bells! Thank you for all your help and the use of your wonderful apartment which has made our holiday an unforgetable one."
"Your apartment is lovely and the views are absolutely breathtaking. We found there was so much to do in and around Villars - walking in such lovely scenery was amazing."
Unique benefits of the property
The winter months in Villars are great for both couples and families as there is so much to offer from torch light descents from Bretaye to pistes for all standard of skiers.
The cog railway that runs every day of the year from Villars to Bretaye is great to take even non skiers up the mountain. The telecabine to Roc D'orsay means you are on the slopes in no time! Chalet Armorial offers 'ski in, ski out' opportunities when snow conditions are good - the telecabine is less than 10 minutes walk if not.
The 'Freedom Pass' extends the walking paths during the months of June through to October by using the free travel on the telecabines in Villars, Gryon and Les Diablerets as well as the train of course.
