We stayed here for a 5-night ski trip in Villars. It was our first ever attempt to bring our children to ski school, and as non-ski parents even with a lot of preparations before coming, we were still somewhat lost. Françoise provided us with loads of information when we arrived, discussing our options, and filling the gaps in our ski knowledge. We are forever thankful for those!
Location was good, we have to walk around 5 minutes to reach the train station where the trains as well as the free shuttle bus stops. The walk is easy and the area is beautiful. Françoise kindly picked us up from the train station of Arveyes when we arrived and brought us to Villars train station on our departure day.
We especially loved how the apartment felt so homey. And the kitchen as VERY well equipped, we even had a raclette dinner one evening as there was a raclette burner (as well as fondue kit). We much appreciated that there were milk, bread, butter, jam and Nespresso capsules already provided in the kitchen, making it easy to start the next day with a good breakfast!
Apartment was clean, bedding and towels were fresh. Knowing the "Swiss standards" (we have lived in Switzerland for more than 12 years), we had a high expectation, but Françoise & Claude’s place definitely surpassed that! Merci mille fois!
P.S.: We always communicated in French as Françoise didn't speak English, but we don't think it will be a big problem if you only speak English. They had English-speaking guests before and it worked!
