Chalet Timothy

The village has all the shops you are likely to need during your holiday - delis, supermarkets and bakeries, as well as gift shops, ski and bike rental.

Part of the Grand Massif ski area, Samoens has links to more than 265km of pistes and a great lift network. There's still plenty to do when the snow melts with hiking and biking trails, as well as a treetop adventure park, whitewater rafting and a range of sports facilities at the Lac aux Dames leisure centre.

About the property ...

Chalet Timothy is a comfortable three-storey chalet for 12 guests in six bedrooms, with three shower rooms.

From the front door you'll come into the hall, with a WC to one side and a small library to the other. A few stairs bring you into the split-level living area, with sofas and chairs arranged around the TV and a wood burning stove. Next to this is a bar area with another sofa, where you can get together for drinks before dinner, and a door to the balcony.

The bright and airy kitchen has everything you need to cook up a hearty meal, and there's a dishwasher to make the clearing away easier. The dining table is positioned in front of the doors to the balcony, to make the most of the light. In good weather, this furnished terrace is a great place to enjoy an al fresco meal. The outdoor hot tub has been tucked into a private corner so that you can relax without being overlooked, and there's a brick-built barbecue/pizza oven..

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, both with large double beds (160cm). One also has a shower and a WC. These bedrooms do not have windows. There's also a playroom on this floor, with a sofa, TV, table football and a laundry area.

The remaining four bedrooms are on the first floor. Three are double rooms, each with 160cms beds, and the fourth has twin beds. These rooms share two shower rooms and two separate WCs. The spacious landing has cupboards, a desk and doors to a balcony.

All the beds in the chalet will be made up for your arrival, regardless of the number of people in your booking, and a bathrobe will be provided for every adult.

As well as two terraces and a balcony, there's a large open garden in front of Chalet Timothy.

There's plenty of parking at Chalet Timothy.

About the area ...
