About this property

IDYILLIC COSY OLD AUTHENTIC WOOD SWISS MOUNTAIN CHALET WITH SAUNA & GARDEN

Welcome to Le Petit Chalet, a cosy and authentic traditional semi-detached chalet, set in the beautiful Gryon–Villars-sur-Ollon region. Your fully self contained half of the chalet has its own entrance, kitchen, living areas, and outdoor spaces, offering the charm of a 1700s listed building combined with thoughtful modern comforts. As part of its original architecture, some ceilings are lower than modern standards, adding to the chalet’s character — taller guests may occasionally need to mind their head! The chalet is best suited
for a maximum of 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 children, ensuring everyone has comfortable space during their stay.
The chalet features a fabulous private sauna, a sunny balcony and terrace with beautiful views, and a peaceful small, fenced garden perfect for relaxing in all seasons. Inside, the living and dining area is warm and inviting, centred around a fireplace. A complimentary starter basket of firewood is provided during the winter months, and additional wood can be purchased onsite.
The kitchen is well equipped including a stove, dishwasher, microwave, and a fridge/freezer, making it easy to enjoy meals at home.
Upstairs, the bedroom features a comfortable king sized bed, along with space for two additional children’s beds (a single fold out futon sofa and a single fold out mattress), making it ideal for couples or small families. The open plan bathroom with a washer, dryer and bathtub connects directly to the bedroom. Please note: due to the chalet’s historic architecture, the upstairs bathroom has a low ceiling, and the shower here is designed to be used seated. For guests who prefer a full standing shower, there is a second ensuite shower located downstairs next to the private sauna.
The chalet also offers high speed WiFi and a small working desk, making it suitable for remote work or longer stays.
A welcoming pet basket is there for your best 4 legged
friend.

Other things to note
• To help keep our village peaceful, we kindly ask guests to keep noise to a minimum after 10:00 pm.
• Please remove ski boots before entering the chalet.
• Dogs are welcome (maximum one). We kindly ask that they stay in the living areas rather than the bedroom.
• Tourist Tax (Taxe de Séjour): already collects the canton wide tourist tax at booking, so there’s nothing to pay on arrival. If you’d like extra local benefits and discounts for the Gryon, Villars-Sur-Ollon and Les Diablerets resorts, you can purchase the Carte Bienvenue at the Maison du Tourisme in Barboleuse for a small additional fee.

Amazing view and location, cosy chalet

We really enjoyed our stay in Gryon as the location of the chalet is perfect for visiting our family and getting to and from the station. Very clean chalet, very well appointed. The shower downstairs is the one to use as it is full height. Sauna looks good but we never used it.

Un très bon séjour

Je connais ce village depuis 40 ans et j’étais passé devant cette maison sans l’avoir remarqué ! La maison est très mignonne et très bien équipée. Le sauna est un vrai plus appréciable après une randonnée dans les plus belles des montagnes. La propriétaire est attentive même depuis l’Angleterre ! Je recommande sans hésitation.

Quaint, comfortable, character accommodation

The location to explore the mountain areas was great. The authentic Swiss chalet had definite character and was comfortable for my husband and me, although taller people do have to be mindful of beams and doorways. Communication and checkin/out were easily done and the sauna was a definite bonus.

Lovely ‘petit chalet’

The property is lovely and quaint. Set in a beautiful hill-side village with shops and excellent restaurants nearby, it provides all a couple could need. The garden was better than expected as it is fully enclosed and ideal for a dog. Spread over three floors it offers a beautiful sauna, a cosy living room and kitchen, and a very comfortable double bed on the top floor. If you don’t want to bend over in the bath on the top floor you can always use the shower in the sauna. The views from the balconies are spectacular and there’s enough space to eat outside and take it all in. Church bells and creaky floor boards add to the charm. :-) It is only a short walk to the train and this provides access to the lower valley (Bex) and the mountains. With their ’free pass’ (available from Barboleuse for about 5 franks per day) you gain access to excellent train, bus and cable car services covering Gryon-Villars-Diablerets. The pass is great value for money. We had a wonderful stay and Carol was a great host who responded well to our questions.

Schönes Haus, kleiner als erwartet

Wir hatten schöne Tage in dem Haus, die Umgebung ist super, die Lage auch, allerdings ist die Beschreibung etwas missverständlich. Es gibt nur ein Schlafzimmer. Wir konnten uns trotzdem arrangieren. Vermieterin war sehr entgegenkomend, wir hatten zu zweit gebucht und sind zu viert gekommen.

I am pleased our guests enjoyed their location and environment. Our description of the chalet shows that there is one large bedroom, and there is space on either side of the large double bed for additional mattresses suitable for young children. We always make guests fully aware of the sleeping arrangements in the description and confirm this prior to the guest's arrival. This guest was made aware, in messages, of the accommodation and the variables prior to arrival and we are sad the chalet did not meet his expectations on this point. We welcome families with younger children, but can only comfortably accommodate a maximum of 3 adults for a short stay It is a wonderful cosy chalet and an ideal place for a couple to enjoy this wonderful village, mountain scenery and air. We look forward to welcoming all our future guests. Carol

Petit Chalet für zwei

Das Chalet ist ideal für zwei Personen. Ein Berghütten-Gefühl ist garantiert. Die Küche ist einfach hat aber alles was man braucht. Von der Krups-Kapsel-Kaffeemaschine, Toster und Milchaufschäumer über das stylische eckige Geschirr. Das Wohnzimmer mit dem einladenden Sofa ist mega gemütlich. Im oberen Stock ist der Ausbau sehr kreativ. Mit der Badnische im Korridor welche eine Sitzdusche Lavabo und Waschmaschine hat. Dazu das separate WC im Kabäuschen. Das Schlafzimmer ist geräumig und hat gute Bettenqualität. Absolut das highlight ist die Sauna im Untergeschoss mit Dusche/WC Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Read

Host profile image
Passionate about Switzerland I love the country all year round. It has so much to offer, many people only think of the skiing but it has so much more.
I live in England in a quiet area on the Duke of Norfolk's estate in Arundel surrounded by countryside.
It is like home from home for me and my nutty Springer Spaniel when he is able to visit.
I love letting the chalet and talking to new people and trying to make my guests as comfortable as possible.

Why they chose this property

If you love the peace and quiet of the Swiss mountains this little bijoux chalet is the ideal cottage, especially for a couple offering the sauna, gardens and outside space to dine and drink, in a romantic getaway.

If you want a taste of the traditional whilst offering modern day facilities, this is the place to come.

I would love to welcome you.
