About this property

Large Penthouse Apartment with balcony & views! Sleeps 10, family friendly.

Seytroux and Le Cret are south facing. The apartment sleeps max 10 people and has stunning views out to the surrounding mountains, looking down into the beautiful valley of Seytroux and the town of St Jean D’Aulps. The penthouse apartment is large, spacious and sunny. A superb renovation completed in 2014, lots of character beams as well as a great modern finish. Underfloor heating and all modern amenities .

There are only 10 apartments within this old farmhouse - very quiet and in a small hamlet with residential chalets at a distance from the farmhouse.
It is situated in the small hamlet of Le Cret above Seytroux, which is 1km away. There are many walks within the local area and ski lifts at Ardent with free parking is only 15 minutes drive away. Morzine is 15 minutes away and Les Gets 20 minutes.

There is a bar/restaurant/shop at Seytroux which also has free WiFi. It is close to the Porte du Soleil ski areas of St Jean D'Aulps, Avoriaz, Morzine and Les Gets providing over 160 km of skiing both in France and Switzerland.

There are many activities close by for skiers, walkers, cyclists, mountain bikers, horse riders, kayakers, river rafting and lots of family activities. Lakes at Montriond (10 minutes away) and Les Gets with plenty of restaurants and shopping in the surrounding areas. Le Cret is a peaceful hamlet but close to all the activity.

The apartment is not suitable for mountain bikers or cyclists as we have no facility for either storing or washing bikes.

Plenty of good local restaurants and a small and large Carrefour supermarket all within a 10 minute drive. The apartment is an hour and a half drive from Geneva airport either via Thonon (preferred) or Les Gets. You will need a car!

excellent sejour
la propriété est très propre. un grand salon qui donne sur une vue magnifique. un super endroit pour se ressourcer en famille ou entre amis. l'appartement est à 10 mns environ en voiture de la station de ski saint Jean d'aulps. il y a aussi des lacs et des villages sympas aux alentours. les propriétaires sont gentils et disponibles, ils n'hésitent pas à donner des conseils pour preparer et passer un bon séjour.

Great Spot for Portes du Soleil ski area
Fantastic apartment in Seytroux which is well positioned to enjoy the slopes of Port Soleil. It is about 10mins drive from three or four lifts that can take you up to Avoriaz, Morzine and Les Gets missing the main lift crowds in Morzine. Owners were really helpful with recommendations and professional. The apartment was clean and spacious and the quietness of Seytroux is very relaxing after a hard days ski. We booked with a group of friends but this would also work well for families. 10/10 and will go back.

Super
The apartment was super and just what we had been looking for - about an hour from geneva, spacious, clean, a short drive to epic on and off piste powder via linderets and there is a supermarche on the drive home. Ask the owner for off-piste routes and also a decent ski hire shop as they are a bit hit and miss - especially when the powder is deep. Will be going back for sure.

Super view, peaceful location and penthouse living
Being the penthouse suite with a mezzanine level you do feel like the rockstar in this development. The view is great from the apartment, there's plenty of space for a large group and it's got everything you need to make your holiday comfortable. Everyone had nice hot showers (something we've struggled with in other places), the beds were good and rooms large - although do mind your head on the rafters if you're on the clumsy side! First time we'd ski'd in the Portes du Soleil region and was really impressed. The resort is close to the apartment and much bigger than I expected, with food and drink very reasonably priced compared to other French resorts.

Lovely and spacious flat
We had a wonderful stay here, the apartment is perfect for families or groups of friends looking to ski in the area. The bedrooms and living room are very spacious and comfortable, which made it perfect for relaxing on our evenings in. The living room's large windows have beautiful valley views and the apartment is conveniently located just 15 mins from the lift to Lindarets (where there is also a large free parking lot). Will definitely be returning!

Spacious alpine retreat in Portes du Soleil
I stayed with a small group of friends early in the season and we struggled to fill the apartment. It has large bedrooms and a huge open-plan living space with a double-height ceiling. The kitchen is full size for cooking big evening meals and the lounge has three sofas to collapse on. The chalet is 5 minutes drive to Morzine (lift from there to Avoriaz) and Les Gets giving quick access to a variety of mountain - go where the conditions are best. And it's only an hour or so from Geneva, making it an easy transfer for a quick escape. Portes du Soleil is a great ski area where a group of us ski each year, it offers the full range of mountain from fast tree-lined runs if the visibility is poor to high mountain for the softest powder.

Lovely apartment
Lovely, spacious apartment with stunning views from huge picture windows across the Valley. 15 minute drive from the free 'parking Ardent' for the bubble lift to Lindarets. Well equipped kitchen and lots of DVDs/games although we had super weather so didn't need to resort to them!

About the host

Host profile image
We love our holiday home in the French Alps - We are the Beadman family who live in the UK

Why they chose this property

We wanted a second home for skiing and mountain holidays all year around, We simply fell in love with the property and the location. It is a quiet mainly residential area where local French (and some English ) people live all year round. The building is south facing and gets the sun all day making it very sunny and light. The other owners of the apartments in the farmhouse are all very friendly and respectable families and couples - 6 French and 4 UK . 8 of the apartments are second homes . Plenty of places to park both in the car park directly in front of the building and we all have a designated parking space under ground - so dry! The roads are always cleared by snow ploughs in the winter as the local people have to get to work and the vacationers have to get to the slopes! The apartment is equally as great to stay in in the Spring, Summer and Autumn - there are lots of walks, cycling, mountain biking or just strolling around the gorgeous lake at Montriond - kayaking, and paddle boarding or just sunbathing! Lovely restaurants there as well - for coffee, ice cream , delicious meals ! We love everything about our apartment and the surrounding areas and especially love sitting on the balcony with a coffee or glass of wine/ beer/ gin and tonic admiring the views and the sunsets. Mostly we use the apartment for our family - ourselves , adult children and grandchildren to use - as you will see from the blocked dates- but we are also happy to welcome our rentals - it is a true home from home!

What makes this property unique

A superb apartment - renovation completed 2014, The old farmhouse comprises just10 apartments - superb views, lots of character beams as well as a great modern finish. Underfloor heating and all modern amenities
