Saville, Chalet Falconnieres, January 2023
Just one word; wow! This is the first time ever that we have holidayed self-catering, and the photos on the booking website haven't done justice to the superb high standard of the accommodation (how could they!). We were blown away by the beautiful furnishings, and the obvious attention to detail to welcome guests, to make their stay special. Meghan from Piste Out was brill when I contacted her to discuss a couple of minor issues that were encountered.We loved every second of our stay at Chalet Falconnieres and will definitely be back one day. Thanks also for all your help with what seemed like a thousand questions asked by me during the booking process. Loved Samoens, loved Chalet Falconnieres and loved Alps Accommodation.
