Les Fermes de Saint-Gervais

I don't know where to start to describe this apartment. The site, location and tranquility are perfect. Now I start with the bad things, the apartment for four people is very small. When it comes to opening the beds, there is literally no room and we had to move the tables without even knowing where to place them to be able to open two sofa beds. I continue with the pool and hammam, the pool is advertised as heated and to my surprise I only put my foot in and I don't know if I was putting it in a "heated" pool or in a freezer. In the hammam I opened the door for the steam and oooohhhh surprise it doesn't even work and there is the machine to clean the pool. The truth is that it has disappointed me quite a bit.

We stayed here in a studio apartment with a sofa bed which also had a pull out bed underneath... at first I struggled to sleep on this until the receptionist explained that the smaller bed actually had legs that came out the bottom which then made it more comfortable as well as giving me an extra pillow to use. The apartment was perfectly usable it had a small lounge area with table and chairs and a kitchen with everything needed and then a bathroom with a bath and a separate toilet which was very handy. The location was great with a ski bus stop nearly directly outside (line B) which took you to the gondola in around 5 minutes. We also walked back every day which took around 15 to 20 minutes and was pleasant. Saint Gervais centre is very nice and has lots of restaurants so in an evening you can have a gentle stroll into town for your dinner or a few drinks in some of the bars, it had everything you needed. As for the apartment it had a fantastic pool and steam room, the pool was a nice temperature and big enough for a few people comfortably and the steam room was so hot it was great really helped the muscles after a hard day skiing. The staff were also very friendly and helpful and I would stay here again if I return to the resort. Thank you for your service :) Also worth noting linen and towels are included but you only get one toilet roll and no shampoo or soap so you will have to buy these which we bought from a shop down in the town called 'Casino' which was like a small supermarket similar to that of a 'Spar' in England.

Friendly and efficient reception. Spacious apartment with lovely views especially from the bedroom - photo link was from the bedroom. Well equipped. Very hot water for showers etc. Excellent linen service - linen and towels hygienically plastic wrapped including disposable mattress and pillow protection. Lift to the apartment floor level, with the swimming pool at the bottom of the lift. Garage easily accessible from the apartment. Private terrace. Lovely view, even from the back of the block! Easy check in and check out. Clear inventory check on arrival and damage deposit return on departure. Great communication from the hosts from the time of booking until arrival, when receptionist was on hand at set hours. However, Smelt strongly of cigarette smoke on arrival, but this dissipated after a few days with the window open. Swimming pool facility only open until 18.45hrs, poor for apres skiing but would imagine this would not be a problem in the summer months. We’d definitely go back....... no, we ARE going back!
