Beautiful Accommodation

Isra Eco Chalet promises much and manages to deliver absolutely everything. It is beautifully finished and everything is well thought out to the very finest of details. We booked the entire chalet including apartment and loft for our large, blended family of 2 adult sons with girlfriends and 3 wee ones in the main chalet and it suited our needs perfectly as everyone had their own space and privacy yet could join together at mealtimes or our evenings of viewing films on the cinema screen. It wasn't a great hardship when the skiers and boarders left for a day on slopes and Chris or I stayed at Isra with our youngest. There was plenty of space to play whilst watching the sun rise over the mountains and illuminate and warm the chalet through the huge picture windows. Our little one could play outside on the expansive decking in the pale warmth of the January sun. Immaculate high chair and travel cot plus changing mat and booster step for reaching the handbasin made this a real bonus for parents who often have to 'make do' with tired and less than clean equipment. As owners of a very small person, we felt most welcome because of this.
Adam, the owner greeted us on arrival and showed us round the chalet explaining the ethos of the Feng Shui design. The meticulous thought and attention to detail soon became apparent as we enjoyed the aromatherapy oils, water feature and crystal clear filtered water. The entire complex was faultlessy clean from the kitchen and appliances through to the sauna, showers and bathrooms.
After Adam's initial welcome and assurances that nothing would be too much trouble if we needed to contact him or the chalet manager at any time, the chalet was refreshingly free from endless lists of Do's and Don'ts which made us immediately feel at home and as though he genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful holiday. Be assured, we did.
Owner's Response: Dear Lisa,
Thank you for taking the time to give your thoughtful review and praise, I appreciate it and receive it also on behalf of Mary-Gaël and Jennifer. Seeing your family fit in so snugly into Chalet Isra was a real pleasure. We do our utmost to look into every detail and pride ourselves in providing an environment where our visitors feel at home with a sense of deep well-being and relaxation. The Chamonix Valley is a great place for skiing, hiking or outdoor pursuits: - Isra Eco-Chalet offers a fabulous base for action holidays and is also luxurious haven for family members who choose to chill out at home.
I have had the chance to choose the land and allow Isra project to settle during a year of reflection. I often sat on the ground where Isra Chalet now stands, then one day I drew a sketch of a chalet. I later found an architect to make that dream become a plan and had it built by Grosset-Janin. I spent the last five years since completion adding details that were already crystal clear to me from the outset but just needed to become manifest. I hope that the end result conveys the inspiration that accompanied each step of the path to what is here now.
Please come back to stay again! - Try Isra Eco-Chalet in summer, -it is stunning and we provide our own complimentary home grown biological vegetables.
Thank you to all of the family for being such wonderful guests.
Adam FIRTH. Owner Isra Eco-Chalet
