TrĂšs bien

Chalet confortable et spacieux. Un peu sombre dû aux ampoules à led nécessitant une chauffe. Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de service à raclette et à fondue ( pays du fromage ) ainsi qu'un grille-pain ( nous avons emmené nos appareils avec nous ). Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et comptons y retourner dans les prochaines années.

Fijn verblijf!

Wij zijn twee weken met ons gezin in de zomervakantie in deze woning geweest. Heerlijk ruim, rustig gelegen, compleet ingericht, hartelijke eigenaren. De omgeving is vooral ingericht op skiën, maar ook voor natuurliefhebbers zijn er voldoende mooie plekjes te vinden. Aanbevolen!

We hadden een fantastische tijd in het chalet. Alles klopte. Wat bijzonder was, was dat we als groep van negen zowel de gezamenlijkheid konden beleven, maar tegelijkertijd ook de ruimte hadden om je met een boek even terug te trekken.

Superbe chalet Ă  recommander

Un chalet spacieux de trĂšs haute qualitĂ© pouvant recevoir sans aucun problĂšmes 8 adultes et 3 enfants sans se gĂȘner. Il est situĂ© dans un endroit charmant, bien ensoleillĂ© avec une vue imprenable et au calme. Il n'est situĂ© qu'Ă  10 minutes des pistes d'Abondance et une demi heure de ChĂątel. Un pur bonheur ! Tout est prĂ©vu pour les enfants (Bacs Ă  jouets du bĂ©bĂ© au jeune enfant, jeux de sociĂ©tĂ©, DVD, livres), le mobilier est au top, tout le nĂ©cessaire est Ă  disposition (2 lits, 3 chaises bĂ©bĂ©). Le nĂ©cessaire de cuisine est parfait et complet. Le chauffage et l'eau chaude sont nickels. Le seul bĂ©mol Ă©tant la TV ( uniquement des chaines Ă©trangĂšres) et l'Ă©clairage qui est plus de l'ambiance tamisĂ©e que de la clartĂ© (Mais on s'habitue). Bref !
