Great place for a skiing holiday with a family

Mama Leone Geneva, Switzerland
Review Submitted: January 5, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Our stay in the chalet was a very pleasant surprise. The online photos did not do it full justice -- it is a quaint and cozy chalet with wonderful views of the mountains and flooded with sun throughout the day. Rooms and bathrooms are impeccably clean and all equipment is very well maintained. The kitchen and dining room are perfect for family meals and the wood stove in the living room provides wonderful heat in the evening.

Most of all, Sheena is a great hostess. She was efficient, pleasant and helped with everything we needed, from fondue sets to arranging skiing passes. Thanks to her we really felt at home there.

Excellent accommodation.

Review Submitted: September 30, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Spent a week at Le Chalet Fischer in the middle of Sept 2008.

Having toured exstensivley throughout France in the past, we know how varied accommodation can be and went FULLY prepared with all that is needed when self catering.

We need not have bothered. Sheena (the owner) was there to welcome us with tea and biscuits and explain everything about Le Chalet ( A nice touch after having driven from Scotland!).

The chalet has everything you require for a pleasant and trouble free holiday. The accommodation is among the best we have used and we recommend it to anyone considering going.

Five stars all round Sheena. Well done.

Robert and Lynn.
