We really loved the character and feeling of this place! It has a great mountain lodge ambiance! You can hear the rushing of the river at night :). The living space is a little smaller than it appears in the photos, but was still comfortable for our large group. The town is small and quaint, has a great, large grassy park for children, and a small market. Some of the bakeries, shops were not open yet for the season (opened on June 20), but that wasn't a problem. There is a good grocery, Familia, 6 minutes drive, easy to get to on the main road. The spa a block away is quite fancy, with multiple hot springs pools, massage facilities, food. You can look it up online. Two of us went and it was well worth it! They were quite busy on the weekend, but very available during the week. We road the Skyway up Monte Bianco and from there, across the ice field on the Aiguille du Midi tram. It's a Spectacular ride on a clear day. Tina was very helpful and met us in the village center to take us to the apartment. The only down side was that it was unseasonably hot when we were there and a couple of table fans would have made a big difference in daytime comfort. I would definitely stay here again!
