Great stay in Chamonix
Great property, 10 minute walk to Chamonix centre, we used the quiet back road to walk in. Very comfortable apartment, well equipped, amazing view of Mont Blanc from the very large terrace! Excellent communication both pre visit and during our stay - all in resort queries answered immediately - we were able to stay in the apartment until 6pm due to late transfer out of Chamonix and no-one booked in that night - a great way to end the holiday! Highly recommend both the apartment and Chamonix!

Without a doubt one of the best views in Chamonix
Generally a really good experience. Stunning views and easy parking arrangements. We had a couple of issues with appliances but these didn't detract from our stay and manager was available in person/via phone to assist.

Amazing View!!
Well equipped apartment, clean and tidy. The view and outside space is amazing! Loved sitting out in the evening and enjoying the view.
Had a car issue when we were there and the lady managing this apartment was very helpful even though it wasn’t really a problem with the apartment.
The only negative was we were a family of 4, the second bedroom which had two single beds in it pretty small and has a window with no blind or curtain onto the dining room. Meant our teenage daughter didn’t have much privacy and used our bedroom to get changed. The bathroom also has a large window looking out onto some flats also without any curtains so you felt quite exposed! Only a small thing but a couple of blinds would make such a difference. Definitely book again though!

Chamonix Les Gaillands Penthouse apt
We had a great time and the apt. was very convenient to town and areas for walking the dogs. There is a small lake next door and trails across the street that were perfect. Very clean and well maintained. Had no issues and arrived with a very clean apt. ready for vacationing. A cute little bar across the street which has good food and drinks, Hotel Vert. Would certainly stay here again.

Nice apartment, outstanding views of Mt Blanc and the Chamonix valley
A pleasant apartment with fantastic views, we made good use of the owners high power binoculars to admire the scenery from the sun loungers on the large balcony.

Amazing views from this apartment!
Our stay at this apartment was outstanding! The views from the rooftop deck were fabulous. Close to town and with the Côte card, was able to ride the train as many times as you want. Be aware, however, that you must exit the train before the last stop or you will be charged a fare! You can always hop back on when the next train comes. We did not and ended up paying 27 euros for about a mile trip. The apartment has everything you need, very neat and tidy. You will not regret your stay!

Très bel emplacement avec une vue à couper le souffle sur la montagne ! La terrasse est top ! En dehors de ça, nous trouvons que les photos sur l'annonce sont trompeuses et ont été prises il y a peut être un moment. cet appartement mérite d'avoir un bon rafraichissement car il tombe un petit peu en ruine... (Store de travers, le four qui n'a plus de poignée, matelas un peu usé, impact sur la plaque de cuisine, les tiroirs qui s'ouvrent pas correctement, il manque des poignées de fenêtre, très très peu de possibilités de rangements, le "dressing" qui sent le renfermé etc) Nous avons eu une serviette chacun pour 2 semaines... c'est dommage !La configuration de cet appart est bizarre (salle de bain au fond de la cuisine, la deuxième chambre est une extension de terrasse pas bien isolée, ..etc) mais bon c'est pas grave en soi ! Pour information, il faut marcher une bonne vingtaine de minutes pour aller au centre ville de Chamonix (un peu moins si vous marchez vite). possibilité de prendre le bus ou le TER pas loin ! Autrement, il y a un lac très sympathique juste au pied de la résidence avec un petit parc ! à 2 min, il y a des possibilités de faire de l'escalade, accrobranche et balade ! 5min en voiture il y a un super U, une boulangerie et une boucherie. c'est très pratique! On a passé un bon séjour malgré tout mais on ne reviendra pas. Bonne continuation

Geweldig, het terras en het uitzicht is niet te verslaan!
Fijn ruim appartement, alles prima. Het terras is werkelijk fantastisch: groot, met zonnescherm, ligstoelen e.d. en met een geweldig mooi uitzicht op de Mont Blanc en het bergmassief. Met de verrekijker kun je zelfs de bergbeklimmers spotten.
Ik hoop hier nog eens terug te komen!

Très moyen. Devrait être moins cher par rapport au prestations
2ème chambre > pas vraiment une chambre mais plutôt un jardin d’hiver.
Aucune armoire disponible pour ranger nos vêtements.
Fourniture de cuisine restreinte. Pas de caquelon à fondue par exemple.
Balcon sale
Emplacement idéal
