The Guest House

A little gem in the mountains

Pros: We would highly recommend the Guest House if you like the idea of a lovely authentic chalet nestled in a small village in the mountains. Quiet seclusion, no bustle or noise, skiing the traditional way, departing each day for a different mountain. (You really should have a car, otherwise you're walking 10-15 minutes to gondola in Vallorcine.) The hosts, Helen and Steve, (speak fluent English and French ...and Swedish presumably!) make you feel very welcome and gave excellent recommendations for restaurants. The breakfast is superb, and Helen is attentive to each guest’s needs. The communal room has a very warm and cosy atmosphere with a wood burner and comfy sofas. Our room was very comfortable, with a large bed and private bathroom next door. (Other rooms had en suite showers). Definitely would go back.

Cons: n/a

Amazing atmosphere and people!

Pros: This guest house in Vallorcine is a true gem. Nestled in the mountains with only a few rooms, it feels like staying at your favorite aunt and uncle’s home. The rooms are cozy and warm, and the owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is delicious, and the atmosphere is wonderfully family-like, making it easy to chat and connect with other guests. A truly special place — we would happily come back!

Pros: I was welcomed by Helen and Steve with such grace! It was a rainy day on my TMB tour so I had to deviate from my original plan to camp and ended up here. Best choice ever

Nice

Pros: Friendly host, very clean, quiet, comfortable bed.

Cons: The fact that at breakfast I had to sit at the same table with other people who I don’t know, people who were staying in the same house, people keen on talking and talking to much just for the sake of having a conversation, not that I’m anti sociable but I like my own space especially in the morning. Another thing I did not like was the bathroom in the room, very small unfortunately, shower cabin very small as well. Maybe a larger selection of food at breakfast, understand it’s a small family business but could do with some variety, maybe a preordered breakfast so the host knows what to prepare without suffering any wastage.

Pros: Beautiful room with lovely valley view, super clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, and the host - Helen - was incredibly helpful in terms of giving information and booking a restaurant for my evening meal.

Cons: Nothing! Everything was fantastic!

A lovely location, property, great hostess and beautiful breakfasts

Pros: The location and staying in a family home. Helen was a fabulous hostess

Cons: The walk up the hill to the accommodation but liked the fact that it was off the beaten track

Pros: Very beautiful chalet, in an even more beautiful environment. Good decoration as well.

Cons: Nothing, it was perfect!

A real gem

Pros: Beautiful house with lovely decor and thoughtful touches. A very lovely 'home from home'. Bedroom was comfy and the traditional Alpine balcony was a great extra. Breakfast was unbeatable - delicious, loads of it and some excellent scrambled eggs! The use of the kitchen in the evenings, the lounge, and the complementary tea and coffee are all brilliant extras....All in all, Helen clearly takes pride in welcoming guests and ensuring their stay is memorable- walking tips and info on the best place to eat nearby were really appreciated. Highly recommended!

Pros: The attitude of the hosts. I felt like I was at home.

Pros: Warm welcome. Excellent location. Lovely and very clean room and bathroom. Quiet. Great views from the balcony. I'll happily go back and stay at the guest house
