Visitor comments
- "We had a party of 30 descending on Chamonix and we came upon the above 4 individual chalets next to each other connected by an underground garage, not only was the chalets in a perfect location the luxury that this place had was fantastic, the ace was welcomed by a small but friendly members of staff which nothing was too much, I would seriously recommend this place to anyone." - Trip Advisor
- "The time that we spent here couldn't have been any better for all the family. 12 of us stayed at the chalet which was quite a lot but it is plenty big enough apart from 1 bedroom well it's more of a hideaway that you might find Harry potter living in ! But was not an issue.
All the staff are fantastic, friendly & very helpful you cannot fault them. Martin the manager has a great team around him. Every day or when needed the fridge is restocked with soft drinks & beer brilliant.
Also downstairs in the communal cinema room there is a fridge fully stocked with drinks, plus in the cinema room they have Sky Tv which is a bonus also various DVDs or just take your own. The chefs are amazing without doubt the best food I had including the restaurants we tried whilst out, Brilliant a big thank you to those guys. The chalet was always very warm with a huge wood burner in the corner of the lounge which when on is way to hot but looks great tho. Through out your stay you are taken by mini bus to where ever you want or picked up they are only a phone call away. Back to the chalet it's very clean & well maintained the girls come in and do what's needed, again these girls are great very pleasant. On occasion the chef would do your breakfast in your chalet ie eggs bacon whatever you want, you truly are being spoilt here. All our family came away saying it was there best ski holiday ever which is great, and big big thank you to all the staff who made our stay just perfect" - Trip Advisor - "This is by far the very best chalet we have rented in the Chamonix Valley. The Chalets are even better than the photos and descriptions on the website. Les Rives d'Argentiere is a group of four chalets each decorated in a different and beautiful style. All four have been built with great care and finished with the highest quality- inside and out. Incredible outdoor decks and terraces, private new hot tubs, beautiful outdoor loungers, tables, umbrellas, flowers and a shared outdoor pool facing south with the most stunning views all around. The chalets are all south facing and border a pretty river on one side. Many first-class hikes and walks start right out the door. Quiet neighborhood of authentic homes with beautiful gardens and charming residents. The tiny, peaceful and charming village of Argentiere has a fully-stocked small market, excellent restaurants, bakery, lovely church and post office. The Stone Bar is a fantastic place for homemade food and convivial atmosphere. The village is located a few minutes walk along the river path from the chalets. Walk or take a small train to Chamonix. The owner, Marc, and his entire staff are kind, helpful and gracious people. Marc located a blender for fruit smoothies and a fondue pot complete with fuel. Everyone was more than willing to give hiking and restaurant tips. Marc is so very easy to work with in all ways. The daily housekeeping service was a treat too. The staff was never intrusive but always there to provide assistance. We have been renting vacation homes for 30 years. Marc has made Les Rives d'Argentiere an absolute favorite. We don't usually come back to the same place twice but will return soon." - Trip Advisor
