About this property

Large Penthouse Apartment with balcony & views! Sleeps 10, family friendly.

Seytroux and Le Cret are south facing. The apartment sleeps max 10 people and has stunning views out to the surrounding mountains, looking down into the beautiful valley of Seytroux and the town of St Jean D’Aulps. The penthouse apartment is large, spacious and sunny. A superb renovation completed in 2014, lots of character beams as well as a great modern finish. Underfloor heating and all modern amenities .

There are only 10 apartments within this old farmhouse - very quiet and in a small hamlet with residential chalets at a distance from the farmhouse.
It is situated in the small hamlet of Le Cret above Seytroux, which is 1km away. There are many walks within the local area and ski lifts at Ardent with free parking is only 15 minutes drive away. Morzine is 15 minutes away and Les Gets 20 minutes.

There is a bar/restaurant/shop at Seytroux which also has free WiFi. It is close to the Porte du Soleil ski areas of St Jean D'Aulps, Avoriaz, Morzine and Les Gets providing over 160 km of skiing both in France and Switzerland.

There are many activities close by for skiers, walkers, cyclists, mountain bikers, horse riders, kayakers, river rafting and lots of family activities. Lakes at Montriond (10 minutes away) and Les Gets with plenty of restaurants and shopping in the surrounding areas. Le Cret is a peaceful hamlet but close to all the activity.

The apartment is not suitable for mountain bikers or cyclists as we have no facility for either storing or washing bikes.

Plenty of good local restaurants and a small and large Carrefour supermarket all within a 10 minute drive. The apartment is an hour and a half drive from Geneva airport either via Thonon (preferred) or Les Gets. You will need a car!

Great Spot for Portes du Soleil ski area
Fantastic apartment in Seytroux which is well positioned to enjoy the slopes of Port Soleil. It is about 10mins drive from three or four lifts that can take you up to Avoriaz, Morzine and Les Gets missing the main lift crowds in Morzine. Owners were really helpful with recommendations and professional. The apartment was clean and spacious and the quietness of Seytroux is very relaxing after a hard days ski. We booked with a group of friends but this would also work well for families. 10/10 and will go back.

Super
The apartment was super and just what we had been looking for - about an hour from geneva, spacious, clean, a short drive to epic on and off piste powder via linderets and there is a supermarche on the drive home. Ask the owner for off-piste routes and also a decent ski hire shop as they are a bit hit and miss - especially when the powder is deep. Will be going back for sure.

Host profile image
We love our holiday home in the French Alps - We are the Beadman family who live in the UK

Why they chose this property

We wanted a second home for skiing and mountain holidays all year around, We simply fell in love with the property and the location. It is a quiet mainly residential area where local French (and some English ) people live all year round. The building is south facing and gets the sun all day making it very sunny and light. The other owners of the apartments in the farmhouse are all very friendly and respectable families and couples - 6 French and 4 UK . 8 of the apartments are second homes . Plenty of places to park both in the car park directly in front of the building and we all have a designated parking space under ground - so dry! The roads are always cleared by snow ploughs in the winter as the local people have to get to work and the vacationers have to get to the slopes! The apartment is equally as great to stay in in the Spring, Summer and Autumn - there are lots of walks, cycling, mountain biking or just strolling around the gorgeous lake at Montriond - kayaking, and paddle boarding or just sunbathing! Lovely restaurants there as well - for coffee, ice cream , delicious meals ! We love everything about our apartment and the surrounding areas and especially love sitting on the balcony with a coffee or glass of wine/ beer/ gin and tonic admiring the views and the sunsets. Mostly we use the apartment for our family - ourselves , adult children and grandchildren to use - as you will see from the blocked dates- but we are also happy to welcome our rentals - it is a true home from home!
