“A fantastic area and a very good welcome”

We had discovered Chinaillon in summer about 20 years ago, but had never been back, so it was a real delight to re-discover this area. The very friendly atmosphere is a change from the ski factories. The traditional way of life has been preserved for the most part, and it's a pleasure to stroll around the narrow streets of old Chinaillon, for example. We are very familiar with the Trois Vallées, and particularly Méribel, but we now have a soft spot for Chinaillon! We have been Alpine and cross-country skiers for many years (almost 60!), and found downhill runs in Chinaillon which were perfect for our level, and weren't full of crazy skiers. The slopes in the Bouchet valley are a delight for cross-country skiers. We found that Chinaillon had everything you could need for a sporting and rural holiday. As for the rental service, it met all our expectations. Thank you to the manager! Everything was perfect and the chalet had everything we could possibly need. The architecture and the layout of the chalet meant it was perfectly comfortable for every member of our group. It was shame that we did not have time to make the most of the eclectic library. We seemed to have very similar tastes to the owner (architecture, Italy, deserts, mountains and nature in general). We will be back - thank you Monsieur Dolbeau!

“Fantastic holiday”

We've enjoyed a great week here with our family (4 adults and 7 children). Endless skiing and games of Uno around your lovely table (which we've looked after). The children have enjoyed sledging in the garden and the adults enjoyed lots of glasses of "vin chaud" !

“A very nice holiday”

Definetely an area and place we want to come back to !

“So hard to go back to Paris!”

Everything went perfectly smoothly in this superb chalet, which is very well equipped. The view is splendid, the layout is ideal, the underfloor heating great! We'll be back with pleasure and we would have liked to stay longer. Congratulations on such a great rental.

“A good stay”

We really liked the fact the chalet was 5 minutes away from everything! Its equipment, deco and warm welcome from the manager were perfect.

“Nice holidays”

We had two wonderful weeks in the chalet and enjoyed very much all of its facilities and the recreational services of the area.
We spent a lot of times hiking in the mountains, bicycling up and down the Col de la Colombiere and Col de Aravis and visited Annecy where we had some pleasant days on the lake. We did also use the swimming pool down at Le Grand-Bornand and the kids of course, had a thrill swimming around in the cooling water. Le Grand-Bornand itself, did offer several activities for us to enjoy; the market, the restaurants, the tourist information and of course on Bastille day, there were several activities to participate in. Very friendly people and although our French is very limited, we were met with understanding and willingness to help us wherever we went.

The chalet was equipped with everything we would ever need, and we never found us in a situation where we needed something. We loved the chalet very much and it was especially wonderful, to feel the atmosphere of a real house being used by a real family and not just a rent-out-only chalet.
We enjoyed the balcony and the breathtaking view, which was a wonderful scene to enjoy every days breakfast.

The welcoming from the conciergerie was outstanding and we felt welcomed from the first minute we met. And we were left with no unanswered questions.

“A great success”

This holiday was great for my children and for me. What could be better for us, who come from the "Low Country (Belgium)", than the snow-covered mountains in the sunshine with family. The ski station is lovely and the choice is varied (Nordic skiing, snow-shoeing, hiking etc). I had already been here in the summer. I really love tis chalet - the decor is simple but elegant and the architecture is wonderful. The rhythmic spacing of the windows in the living room made me feel like I was in an art gallery. At the end of the day, the setting sun changes the angle of the light and these pictures change, giving an evolving view of the valley. It is a great success. As for the facilities, we had everything we needed. The home cinema in the basement is great and means you can keep the living room for getting together without the television. I hope I get the chance to return to your chalet. Thanks to the owner and to Denys, the manager.

“A dream chalet”

We spent a lovely family holiday in your dream chalet with a superb view of the mountains. It is charmingly laid out and we felt immediately at home. Thank you to the owner and the team.

Daniel G. - 28/01/2017

“We really enjoyed your house. ”

The facilities were great for two families of four and the view was magnificent. I could definitely see myself return to your chalet at some point!

With respect to the skiing we had a preference for the La Clusaz resort, where the other family preferred Le Grand Bornand! So i guess that is just a matter of opinion. Either way, both areas are very nice (although i think we were extremely lucky with the weather and snow).

We were welcomed very friendly by the concierge too.

Thanks again for having us!

“Ten out of ten !!!”

Everything was perfect and the whole family congratulates you on the quality of the chalet, the management and the superb decoration. The snow was missing, but that's not your fault! We were sad to leave the chalet. We all really loved our holiday and no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't fault it in any way. Everything really was perfect - the equipment, the bed linen, the decor, the location ... a real delight! Thank you for everything, we will defiinitely tell others about your chalet. Our best wishes for the coming year.

“Our stay in your chalet was wonderful! ”

Your chalet is very nice and we enjoyed watching the EU football championchip on your great home cinema.

We were able to climb several mountains with our racing bikes as the weather was beautiful the whole week.

The view and location were also very nice, we took lots of pictures! The equipment is perfect too.

The manager Mr Girerd did welcome us and we had a very nice contact with him. He is a very kind person. There was nothing that we missed, everything was as expected.

We had a great time and who knows, maybe we will come again.

Thank you for everything.

“We had a fabulous time”

We were a large family of 11 members from parents to grand children. We all had a great time at the Chalet and the ski slopes. The Chalet was very clean and comfortable, great views and amenities. Plus we were very lucky with the weather with sun everyday, so perfect spring skiing conditions. I can warmly recommend this Chalet to anyone who wish to go to Le Grand Bornand.

Jens K. - 12/03/2016

The chalet is ideal for a large family or a group of friends. You will fall in love with the tranquillity, the charm of the Savoyard resort and the breath-taking view of the Aravis mountains.

“Lovely weekend in this superb chalet!”

A panoramic view over the surrounding Aravis mountains, comfort on every level, perfect bed linen and a modern bathroom. In short, everything you need for a relaxing weekend.

“Staying at the chalet is a real pleasure.”

I would like to thank you for the excellent week we spent at Chinaillon. The chalet is beautiful, practical, very well-equipped, spacious and well located. The village of Grand Bornand is beautiful as well as authentic. The resort of Chinaillon is much prettier in winter than in summer, and very practical for families with children. The ski bus service works well. If you have a car, it’s easy to get around and park for skiing.
Local business are great for tourists: welcoming and helpful. This is a change from other more well-known resorts. The other guests also seemed very relaxed in a family atmosphere. We really liked this simplicity which we felt throughout our stay.
This week at Charmieux was real quality time – a breath of fresh air which we will not forget.
Obviously, that is thanks largely to you.
We are looking forward to our next holiday in Haute Savoie!
