A lovely apartment

We stayed for 3 weeks. A perfect ski in ski out apartment. The village is very quiet, but the skiing makes up for it. The mugs and bowls could do with updating, and you have to be aware that you have to wash the bedlinen and clean for the next person. This was fine for us as it was clean, but it does rely on the party before your stay giving it a good clean. We would stay again.

Lovely early summer stay

We had a great time in Phil's generously sized chalet during the early summer. The place was easy to find and to get into and Phil was always on hand to help out. The chalet is comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We were only three but could easily imagine a group of six also being comfortable. The location is great with two parking spaces. The views down into the valley are wonderfully relaxing. Nearby towns are easy to get to. An unexpected bonus for us was access to 'multi-passes' for the chair lifts and other local amenities - mini golf, swimming pool etc. As I understand it, these will be available to whomever stays. I thoroughly recommend Phil's place and will be sharing it's details with friends.

This is a fantastic sized property with plenty of space for 7 adults. The location right next to the slopes is great for ski in ski out. The property was clean and tidy and well equipped for all of our needs. It’s location in the pretty quiet village of Champoussin is perfect for restaurants, bars and the shop. Would not hesitate to return to this property.

Lovely apartment in a very quiet location with incredible views

Just going out on the balcony we had breathe taking views. Although for me a car is a must, we could have done well without it if we wanted just go for walks around the area. The apartment has a great location as we could go to various attractions in less than an hour. Moreover, the area is peaceful which made our holiday very much enjoyable.

Prima verblijf. Lekker ruim van binnen. Balkon wel klein en lekker buiten zitten moeilijk. Geen tuinstoelen op balkon. Zeer positief het aanwezig zijn van 6 gratis Multi passen. Hier hebben we veel gebruik van gemaakt. Door lift is weg van auto naar voordeur zeer kort. Ideaal! Kortom een prima vakantie woning en aanbevelingswaardig!

Schöne Wohnung, aber sehr schmutzig

Der Besitzer ist sehr nett und umgänglich, aber sein System, die Reinigung von den Gästen durchführen zu lassen, funktioniert nicht. Die Wohnung war sehr schmutzig, der Kühlschrank war widerlich, der letzte Gast hatte die Bettwäsche nicht gewaschen, die kaputte Dusche war sehr schmutzig, der Ofen in einem schlechten Zustand... Dieses Problem ist den Leuten im Dorf offenbar bekannt, denn mehrere dieser Kunden haben sich vollgestopft. Die Wohnung ist gut, groß, aber schlecht gepflegt. Das ist schade. Es wäre wirklich nötig, zumindest von Zeit zu Zeit eine Grundreinigung durchzuführen. Aus diesem Grund werden wir nicht wiederkommen, denn wir mussten die Wohnung mit vier Personen zwei Stunden lang putzen, bevor wir uns einrichten konnten. wirklich Schade.

Immer wieder schön!

Ich bin jetzt zum 4. Mal bei Phil Worley gewesen und es ist jedes Mal traumhaft. Die Lage des Appartements ist der Knaller; direkt an der Piste und der morgendliche Blick auf den Dents de Midi ist unbezahlbar. Die Ausstattung könnte etwas moderner sein und der Fernseher etwas größer, aber das ist jammern auf hohem Niveau. Gerne immer wieder.

Nicer in real life!

We all agreed that the flat was nicer in real life than it seemed to be on the Website. You get a stunning view of the Dents du Midi! If you travel with 8 people like we did mind that two will have to sleep on the couch/matress im the living room / kitchen area. It was okay, but not ideal. Also, there were only 7 duvets in the flat although we booked for 8. Frankly, there was no effective help with that situation. Gladly one of us joined later than planned and was able to bring a sleeping bag – the only reason we had enough stuff to sleep (and not cozily). We visited for one week of skiing in early march. The connection to Les Crosets was closed so we had to take a bus each morning which was allright. However if you want to ski in and out you might want to visit earlier.

Wunderbare Wohnung in einer fantastischen Umgebung!

Wir haben als Familie mit Kindern und Jugendlichen eine wunderbare Skiferienwoche in der heimeligen Wohnung von Phil verbracht.

Grossartige Aussicht kombiniert mit nächstmöglichem Pistenzugang

Der Aufenthalt hat perfekt gepasst. Wir konnten täglich bei Liftöffnung mit dem Skifahren starten und mit den letzten Fahrtmöglichkeiten zurück. Die Pisten im Porte du Soleil Gebiet sind abwechslungsreich und extrem weitläufig. Wir werden dieselbe Wohnung nächstes Jahr wieder mieten, falls sie noch frei ist!
