In fact I should better not make too much publicity for this residence, just to make sure there will still be vacancy the next time we plan to stay here.
No kidding, this is the BEST location in Chamonix. We stayed here yet 6 times.
All apartments have a view over the Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi. (want to know how the view looks like? Then check my Chamonix travelogue)
A surplus is the Champ (= field) du Savoy just down the balcony. It’s a small ski run, which becomes a landing place for para gliders in Summer. Great animation!
And …incredible, but this residence is only 5 minutes walking from the centre!
The apartments are all 4 (European) ****. I have to admit that American stars are worth twice the value of European stars, but still... you won’t be disappointed.
Unique Qualities: Fully equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, electric stove with 4 cooking rings, dishwasher.
Bathroom with bath, shower and hairdryer.
Living room with LCD screen television (new since 2007, but not shown on my photos), DVD player, telephone and large balcony with furniture.
Safe in the bedroom.
By the way, the whole apartment is in Alpine style with pine wood and fitted carpet.
Beds are made up at your arrival and towels are provided (no washcloths!)
Washer and dryer in the basement (5 euros/coin)
Free use of iron and board in the basement as well
Indoor swimming pool, steam room etc...
Free indoor parking.
And for who doesn’t like to cook during holidays: breakfast and dishes can be ordered at the front desk.
Also fondue and raclette devices can be borrowed there, as well as DVDs (several languages).
Price in august 2009 (high season): 359,58 US$ / night for an appartment 5 sleep. Other periods are cheaper.
Here is the only minus: the cleaning (50 euros) is not included, but they leave the possibility to do the cleaning yourself …:-)
