The apartment met all our needs in terms of comfort and practical requirements. Its location on the edge of Samoens was perfect, providing easy access to shopping and leisure facilities. We hope to return.

I am glad you had a great time in Samoens at Le Pompom & we would be pleased to welcome you back again!

Modern well designed and beautifully finished apartment which worked brilliantly for our family of five for a skiing trip in January.
The view from the outdoor terrace on a cold sunny morning was wonderful and the wood burner (well stocked with wood, lighters and accessories) a very welcoming addition after a cold day on the slopes.
Well equipped kitchen and garage space for skis and extra storage a bonus.
All in all, a wonderful home to rent with easy walking access to Samoens town.
Excellent emplacement à deux pas du centre. appartement très plaisant. bien équipé.
l aspirateur ne fonctionne pas bien .et pas de grande serviette pour la cinquième personne
en dehors de ces deux points tout était parfait

Un appartement très agréable avec tout le confort.
Une terrasse avec une vue superbe, des commodités à proximités, un très beau village ainsi qu’un domaine skiable splendide. Voilà comment je résume notre semaine à Samoens. Sans oublier le poêle extrêmement efficace qui apporte un plus lors des soirées hivernales…..
Heerlijk weekje geskied in het Grand Massif. Le Pom Pom lag op 5 autominuten van de Grand Massif Express waarmee je het skigebied in kwam. Het huisje was van alle gemakken voorzien. Voor ons gezin met 3 pubers groot genoeg.
Un super gîte, tant par son environnement que par son confort. Nos vacances étaient super !!!!

Why they chose this property
To give you more information on why we would love you to share our experience of enjoying holidays at Le Pom Pom: we first visited Samoens 7 years ago to ski, and then a couple of years later discovered it is a great place to come in the summer too, sitting in the sun, swimming in the lakes, cycling in the valley, or even white-water rafting down the le Giffre river. We have been holidaying in Samoens with our 2 boys, in winter and summer ever since. My late Dad loved holidays in the mountains, always skiing wearing his old knitted red Pom Pom hat, well into his 70’s. He died a couple of years ago, & it was his legacy that enabled me to buy our own piece of Alpine heaven. Hence the apartment name - Le Pom Pom!
