I like to start this review saying this place was an amazing surprise for us, when we got there we first met the hostes and they were so lovely and kind and we could see in their face they were very happy to welcome us in their beautiful chalet actually one of the best hostess I ever had!!! What we love about the chalet is all completely new and beautiful decorated unbelievable spotless clean , in the kitchen apart from the gorgeous set of dishes there was everything we needed and more , nice beds , furniture, bed linens and towels all very new and comfortable!!! Wake up in the chalet was a fantastic experience looking the window we could see the snow , the mountain and listen to the river that passes right on the side of the property, I guess is a very Romantic option for a valentines days or even a honeymoon because you don’t feel like going out of the chalet .
