I'm not going to go into details about everything, because a lot of things, like the great breakfast, have already been mentioned in other reviews, but I do have to repeat that Marielle and Daniel are absolutely wonderful hosts! I had a great stay here for slightly over a week, which was planned as a cycling vacation during an event I participated in. Other than that the location is amazing for cycling (and hiking too), the hosts accompanied me beyond expecation. For instance, they arranged with their neighbour that I could leave my bike there so I did not have to carry it up and down the steep rocky entrance road after and before rides. The day before the big event, when I had to be careful about my nutrition, Marielle took that into account so I had a fitting pre-race meal (I also had dinner there some other days, which was also great). Daniel went as far as to even bring me to the start of the cycling event in Albertville and picked me up afterwards. That was also not the only time he helped me with transport. For instance, later that week, when I wanted to ride to the top of Col du Glandon, Daniel brought me a bit closer which saved me 30km of a hilly ride and even picked me up afterwards at the start of Ugine, which saved me from having to ride up for about 30 mins more with how exhausted my legs were. For the included pictures, 1 of them is quite standard of the amazing view there with the cottage in view for a bit. The other pictures are a bit different. One of them is the view from just hiking up the trail from their terrain for like 4 or 5 km so see the other side of the hill, one of them is Daniel (in the yellow shirt) even cheering me on during the cycling event and another is after taking Marielle's advice for a cycling route up the Col de l'Arpettaz, which had an amazing view of the Mont Blanc about 70% up. Thanks for the great time Marielle and Daniel!

Perfect for a half-night stay! You're in a peaceful, natural setting, but you'll need a car to get around as there's nothing nearby. The owner is very friendly.

A superb establishment run by Daniel and Marielle. We had a wonderful meal made with high-quality ingredients. Daniel and Marielle spent most of the evening with us, and we thank them for the pleasant conversations. We wish them all the best and hope to have the chance to return.
