Answers to frequently asked questions: if you can't find the answer you're looking for, please contact us.
 
Q: Where is the apartment?
A: The apartment is located in Passy, at the Geneva end of the Chamonix valley. It's just an hour's drive from Geneva airport and about 25 minutes from Chamonix town.
Q: Is it self-catering?
A: Yes. There is a large fridge with a freezer compartment and plenty of storage space for your wine and groceries. We can stock your kitchen with provisions on request. There are three supermarkets and numerous restaurants in the local area within a 20-minute drive.
Q: Is there a ski-bus?
A: No - you need a car to drive to the various ski resorts, most of which are between 15 and 45 minutes drive. The upside is that you can get your ski boots off a lot sooner after your day's skiing and you don't have to wait around for your transport!
Q: How small is "small"?
A: It's about the size of a two room hotel suite with the addition of a kitchen and bathroom.
Q: How many people can sleep in the apartment?
A: There is a separate bedroom with a very comfortable double bed and a luxury double sofa-bed in the lounge which really is as good as a normal bed! Please be aware that the bathroom/WC is accessed through the bedroom, which has a full-length privacy curtain. Both beds are standard doubles and cannot be converted to twins.
Q: Can we book just for one night, and what happens if we need to cancel?
Q: Can we pay you when we arrive?
A: Yes, you can pay by cash on arrival and we accept all currencies. Please note that we can only take credit cards via Paypal and not directly. The security deposit is payable in cash only - for more details please refer to the small print on our rates and availability page. 
Q: Are pets/smoking allowed
A: Sorry, no pets and no smoking in the apartment for health and safety reasons (not to mention nasty niffs!).
Q: What's the best way to get there?
A: You can drive (it's about 8 hours non-stop from Calais), or take a flight from many regional airports (schedules and routes change according to the season). Geneva airport is the best one to fly to (1 hour's drive), although you also have the choice of Annecy (1 hour) and Lyon (2 hours).
 
 
If you bring your own car in winter, we recommend that you either fit winter tyres or have snow chains available, which are obligatory in most ski resorts. Check out the Ski Club of Great Britain website which gives some useful driving tips.
Q: Does the apartment have disabled access?
A: There is unfortunately no wheelchair access to the building, which has several steps at the entrance. The apartment is located on the first floor of the building and there is no lift. However, moving around the apartment is easy and there is a walk-in shower.
Q: Do I need to bring towels and bedding?
A: No - we provide these for you to save you space in your suitcase. Our pillows and duvet covers are foam-filled and are kind to allergy sufferers. We also provide bathroom and kitchen essentials such as toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, kitchen cloths, bin liners etc.
