Outstanding base for exploring Le Grand-Bornand and surrounding area
Five of us (my wife and I, another couple and a friend) stayed for five days in preparation for cycling the Étape du Tour. The apartment was perfect for us and exactly as described. Incredible views from the private balcony. All essentials for cooking were provided. Two fridges were an extra bonus. The owner, Paul Challis, was very helpful and accommodating (we needed to depart on a Monday). Before we arrived, Paul sent us a set of keys and a detailed description of the apartment with instructions for everything (including TV and WiFi). Highly recommended!
A proximité, par navette gratuite, du télécabine du Rosay, appartement confortable, au calme, avec les équipements nécessaires pour cuisiner. Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour de ski.
Bon sejour,
Trois remarques , remplacer l'aspirateur qui est inefficace, ainsi que la robinetterie de la cuisine qui va finir par se rompre tellement il faut forcer pour fermer l'arrivée d'eau.
Penser à remplacer ces moquettes !!!!!
Ce sera le top 😇😇
Appartement très bien équipé et plutôt confortable pour 2 familles de 4, bien situé même si la côte pour y accéder est rude mais passage de navettes gratuites à proximité de la résidence.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, Paul est très réactif et sympathique, nous sommes ravis.
Merci!
Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable avec nos amis et nos enfants en bas âge.
L'hôte a été très réactif pour toutes nos questions, et très flexible pour nos horaires de départ et arrivée.
L'appartement est très grand et fonctionnel avec une très jolie vue. Il faut compter 20min pour y monter à pied depuis le centre (ou présence de navettes gratuites que nous n'avons pas prise).
Nous recommandons ce logement, et le village du Grand Bornand est très mignon.
Idéal pour un séjour en famille. Appartement très bien avec place de parking. Tout est prévu et hôte très réactif.
Un peu loin du centre du village pour le faire à pied car une grosse montée au retour.
Un agréable séjour.
Beautiful surroundings and very happy with the flat which is comfortable, clean and very well fitted out with all amenities , nothing missing. Bedrooms are fine, with plenty of living area on two floors. The owner has been most helpful in every way, and on the way home we decided we would be very inclined to book again, the ultimate proof!
Appartement bien situé ( 15-20 minutes à pied du centre ville pour sportif car belle pente au retour )
dans une résidence bien tenue. T.B pour 6 personnes .
disposition 3/4 chambres. Salon cosy. Cuisine bien équipée. et l'ensemble fonctionnel
Je vous le conseille.
l'appartement est bien situé avec une navette qui passe devant et s'arrête à coté toute le 20 minutes sinon on n'est pas loin de la station 15 minutes à pied très agréable le soir avec toutes les lumières. Tout ce qui est marqué sur l'annonce est vrai bonnes explication pour l'installation à refaire l'année prochaine
Nous avons passé un très beau weekend de Toussaint dans cet appartement commode, calme et bien agencé.
Il est très bien équipé pour passer un séjour serein et agréable, et bien placé pour profiter des multiples attractions du Grand Bornand.
L'appartement correspond tout-à-fait à la description et aux photos. Il est situé sur les hauteurs du Grand Bornand, à environ 20min à pied du centre. Il est spacieux, offre une belle vue sur la chaîne des Aravis, et est bien équipé.
La communication avec Paul, le propriétaire a été parfaite.
Je recommande!
Nous avons passé 1 semaine à 7 personnes dans l'appartement qui est spacieux .
L'appartement de Paul est très bien situé car desservi par des transport en navette toutes les 20 min
Point d'amélioration que nous proposons : la literie qui n'était pas assez dure à notre goût.
Quelques petits ajustements de nettoyage à notre arrivée également ont du être fait.
Nous avons apprécié la disponibilité de Paul par message pour répondre à toutes nos questions je recommande vivement de venir passer vos vacances à la montagne chez lui !
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans l apparemment très spacieux bien équipé très propre de Paul
En plus pratique avec les navettes juste au pied de l immeuble
Nous le recommandons vraiment

The apartment and resort lived up to the description
Everything was exactly as expected even the walk up the hill to the apartment was fairly described. Would happily book again for another skiing holiday. Paul, the owner, could not have been more helpful.
