Superb dwelling in the heart of Samoens
Communication with the owner was excellent throughout. The property was very central to Samoens central square, and it overlooked lovely local fields with cows and horses. The house itself was well equipped, with a functional kitchen and a well thought out rooming situation. We were only two people, but the house could deal easily with 6. The wood fire is excellent and warms the house very quickly. We would definitely go back. Excellent!

Le bon choix pour une famille.
Une maison de caractère, fort bien aménagée, dans un village qui ne ressemble pas aux stations alpines modernes. Le cadre est magnifique, on y skie, on y luge, on y raquette...

Belle vacances dans un joli village de montagne, chalet idéalement situé.
Beau chalet mitoyen, idéalement situé dans Samoens bien équipé, très chaleureux, joliment décoré, manque un petit bout de jardin. Le coin est parfait et idéal pour la randonnée, le parapente. Hâte de revenir en hiver pour les joies du ski

Chalet agréable, idéalement situé tout près du centre de Samoens
L'ancienne fromagerie est une agréable petite maison proche du centre de Samoens et de toute les commodités. Quelques petits soucis à l'arrivée (l'agent local de Jayne n'avait apparemment pas tout vérifié), mais la communication parfaite avec Jayne nous a largement rassuré et le séjour a été très sympathique. Merci à Jayne pour sa disponibilité et les petites attentions.
