L’Ancienne Scierie, Samoëns, parfait pour escapade montagne hiver ou été.

A great find!The chalet, a beautifully refurbished sawmill, is very tastefully furnished, comfortable, and roomy. The bedding is excellent. There is a generous provision of high-quality utensils and appliances. The location is convenient, not far from the town center, but in a quiet quarter where the main source of noise is the rush of the water channel (which formerly powered the sawmill) just outside. Communication with our host was a pleasure.Though the chalet seems designed mostly with winter use in mind, we were there during a summer hot spell. Although it was sometimes as much as 35 celsius (95 F) outside, the living- and dining-room space on the main floor could always be kept comfortable by adjusting the shutters as needed. The bedrooms upstairs were sometimes a little stuffy during the day, but cool at night, even after the hottest days. In short, we were delighted to have found this lovely escape from the heat all around. We'd certainly be happy to return, in any season.
