MAISON DE CHARME AVEC SUPERBE PISCINE PROCHE DU GRAND COLOMBIER.

Fantastic property with lovely pool and amazing views! We hadn't visited this part of France before, but we absolutely loved it and will definitely be back. The scenery was stunning...mountains, lakes. The property itself was lovely, super clean, and with everything you could need. Our teenager absolutely loved the hot tub and the pool table. Claude's wine was fabulous, so I'd definitely recommend a tasting session!Thank you to Sarah and Claude who were super hosts and gave us so many ideas of things to do. But really we could have just stayed by the pool all week looking at the view!!!

Positives: Location is beautiful. We enjoyed the pool. We appreciated that the owners replaced a broken dryer at short notice. We were warmly welcomed with complimentary Prosecco. Negatives: The house was very dirty. If we could upload our photos, you would see: -Mouldy shower which flooded as not properly fitted (not other guests putting soap down it as the owner stated) -Mouldy and stained outdoor cushions for outdoor -Dirty kitchen items with food crusted on them and a filthy coffee maker. We had to wash everything before use. -All kitchen surfaces were sticky and the oven unusable (an acrid smell filled the kitchen when on) -Dust, flies and cobwebs in most rooms -Stained bath (could not bathe our child) As we found more issues, we felt we had to raise them with the owner. They were so numerous that they could not be rectified during our stay and we had to leave. The owner, in recognising the problems, offered to refund us for the night we could not stay. This was two months ago and despite VRBO contacting the owner many times this has not been refunded. We can’t recommend this property without significant changes and an improvement in the owner’s confrontational communication. Though originally very helpful and agreeable, when we met with them in person, they were rude and stated that we should just have dealt with the issues, implying that we were looking for money. It is clear from the above, and from the fact that VRBO has compensated us, that this is not true.

This Gite is spacious and well fitted out, in a beautiful, peaceful setting within easy train or car distance of Lyon, Geneva and regional towns that are well worth visiting - Chamonix and Annesee for example. Local village meets all shopping needs. Our hosts, Sarah and Claude were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. They and the Gite and location made it a 5 week trip to remember.

Such a lovely place to stay, absolutely amazing views and so close to Col du Grand Colombier. A 10 min drive to Culoz where you can get a cheap 1hr train journey to Geneva, or slightly longer to Lyon. Would recommend to anyone and also would stay again without hesitation! Just fix the oven!! Dan.

Dear Sarah, we would all like to thank you for a fantastic holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful location. We loved the house, the garden and the pool! If we decide to return to this region, this is definitely the home we want to come back to. Thanks for everything! Julia, Jörg, Bianca and Sascha
