The hosts were very welcoming and attentive to our needs. The property was clean and had a homely feel, and was great value for money. The breakfast was also very good for the price. Would stay again when in the area.

The only minus was that you can hear the snoring of the other neighbors sharing the same floor.

The place has a nice position, and the rooms are clean and cozy. Our son loved the garden and the cats that the owner has.

Squeaky floors, poorly isolated windows (loud sounds coming from the street), old mattress.

The hosts!! Always ready to help with any information you need. A glass of wine was always ready 😅 just pure and plain hospitality

Can’t really think of anything.

A lovely French Gite which was a short walk to Saint Gervais town centre. The property was clean, had all the facilities we needed and the room was comfortable It was also really handy to have access to the kitchen - particularly when due to the Tour de France being on in the town, it was difficult to find somewhere to eat. So we sorted food ourselves. The owners, Brendan and Mirander, were really fantastic. They couldn’t have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful, giving great advice on how to get to places and things to see and do etc. They made a lovely stay even better. We’d definitely stay again if we return to the area and would recommend to others.

Stayed in September 2022

The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful, they are very dedicated to create a cosy atmosphere. Without exaggerating, we felt like being at our “good old” friends’ house… And yes, the house is “squeeky”, because everything that was worth it, has been preserved and witfully combined with modern facilities. If you can appreciate this, you will not mind some sqeeking flloors… This house has a “soul” and a wonderful family taking care of it and their guests!

No one can control the weather! Our stay was a bit hot-even for the mountains. Authentic architecture means no AC. Fortunately, it's really easy to escape up slope to cooler temps during the day, and your hosts are diligent about keeping Mont Joly closed up tight to preserve the cool temps of the night time as long as possible during the day. We opened the generous windows each night (no bugs in the mnts!) and night time temps always ensured that the rooms cooled off right away.

If you like spaces that embed you in locations with locals and friendly travelers, where you can interact at whatever level you desire (accommodating the extroverted AND introverted) while getting a sense of what daily life can be like in the greater Chamonix valley, as well as what local buildings and architecture are, this is a perfect lodging option. You will have the ability to chat with those around you, or roll in quite late at night, as long as you are quiet and thoughtful of those resting. You need a car, but many attractions are within a 20 minute drive-with charming St Gervais just up the mountain. So many things are within two hours of the area-Italy, Switzerland, Lake Geneva, Annecy! Avoid the crowds and the cost in Cham. Lounge in the garden or beside the fire at Monte Joly and pet the cats! I'm so glad we found them, and we would absolutely return again!

you were made to feel very welcome,nothing was to much trouble,beautiful views nice breakfast and coffee,the use of the well equipped kitchen if you

Stayed in August 2022

The breakfast was top notch and plenty of it. Brendan is a great host - he has a great combination of being laid back and efficient at the same time - made me feel right at home from the start. St Gervais is a nice town, La Joly is a 10 minute walk from the centre. For those of you on the GR5/Tour de Mont Blanc it is slightly off route but is a no hassle option if you can't get accommodation in Les Contamines. - there's a bus from Les Contamines to St Gervais. (get your ticket in advance from the tourist office in LC when heading to SG - you can pay the driver in the opposite direction - slightly odd but that's how it works!)

the house is rather old and squeaky but it is so stylish. we got a large unit, with 2 rooms, a table football and exit to a large terrace. downstairs you have a large dining room and a fully equipped kitchen I was a bit worried that being located close to the street would make it noisy but it wasn’t! and most of all - the owner - he’s so kind! and helpful! he wants to help everyone, give tips on a trip, the neighborhood. very nice guy

We did not notice anything in particular that was discomforting

The host was very welcoming. We were close to Saint Gervais centre We booked it last minute for one night after a long trek, which felt really good.

Stayed in July 2022

Room needed a towel bar or hook on the door; there was no place to hang towels. Was not provided a hand towel, just a bath towel. A single soap dispenser to be shared between sink and shower. Little things but helpful.

A rather quirky B&B but one that delivered an excellent experience overall. Rooms are spartan and tight on space, but then the rate is very reasonable. The location is actually quite handy: 20 min. drive to Chamonix and avoiding all of the hubbub and crowding of that place; plus St Gervais is a really nice town for dinner and hanging out. The B&B has a wonderful lounge area downstairs for evenings to sit and plan your next day, and the place is well stocked with many maps for borrowing including hiking maps and a super-useful 3D relief map of the area on the wall. Breakfast is typically good and served punctually, obligingly, and cheerfully. The best part of the entire experience, though, is the host who is exceptionally knowledgeable of the area. Want a short hike of < 2 hours to a nice waterfall? He'll tell you where to go. Want to know which parking area is best in Chamonix? He knows. When does the boulangerie open in the morning, and which of the two in town is the better? Count on him. Which restaurant to have dinner at? Definitely. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Brendan and Miranda are the most courteous hosts, and do everything they can to ensure comfort for guests. La gîte is a beautiful and comfortable setting, and nicely situated for going to the ski stations. Will be coming back!

A walking path to town would make the location better.

Superbly nice and helpful hosts in charming historic building. Clean room, cosy common areas, good breakfast and fast wifi. Great value for money very close by St Gervais with private parking space.
