Apartment with three genuine bedrooms within 2 mins walk of the main lift
We bought this apartment 'off-plan' in 2004 and started renting and using it in 2005. It can be considered spacious by French alpine standards as it has three proper bedrooms. All our guests agree this is a really nice comfortable apartment but the best thing is it's proximity to the main lift and the nursery slope. It's about two minutes walk to the lift and the apartment sits at the top of the nursery slope. We have carefully selected and equipped the apartment with everything one need in such an accommodation. This includes comfortable seating for six or more adults which is a bit of a rarity in such places (my wife insisted on it :-)). The livable floor area is 45m sq. which is a good bit larger than most French ski apartments.
The apartment includes free Wi-Fi, a dish-washer, TV with integrated DVD, oven with rotisserie, combination microwave and dining seating for six. We have included all the usual kitchen appliances such as toaster, coffee makers, fondue set etc. The three bedrooms have one double bed, two singles and two bunks. The bathroom has a really good powerful shower over the bath (with plenty of hot water) and a washing machine. The WC is separate from the bathroom. There is also a double sofabed in the lounge should it be needed. The balcony provides a lovely spot to look out over the valley and the nursery slopes where you can enjoy watching the less experienced members of your party.
The apartment is always warm and cosy, even without the heating on. We are really particular about ensuring the apartment is spotless for our guests so please expect a really high standard of cleanliness. I can guarantee you will have a wonderful stay whichever time of year you stay with us.
Just quick note about reviews: I have only just listed with Ownersdirect and was with Holidaylettings for the previous 9 years where we had an overall rating of 4/5 stars. Please see my guestbook comments for the reviews we received on Holidaylettings.

The apartment was perfect! Fully equipt with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Plenty of room for our family of 6 to stay comfortably, perfect location next to ski lifts and gondola outside the balcony. Hosts very responsive and helpful.
The price was great, a nice 3 bed apartment, the bedrooms are small but they are fine. Longe/kitchen is a great area. Little things like tea, coffee, sugar, bin bags, sauces, salt were really helpful. The location is really good, even with the lack of snow so we couldn’t ski to the door it was still only 50m to the lifts and ski school meeting place. Overall really happy with the apartment and would stay again. What I would say is the sofa was slightly broken and so I had to fix it so we could sit down properly, there were cobwebs and dust in all the non obvious places and it needs a new dustpan and brush as I had to beat the brush outside as it made more mess brushing up with it. But Bryan was very responsive and we would really stay again, very happy.

Great base for a ski trip in Morillon
Morillon 1100 is a very compact resort and compared to some other ski resorts most accommodation would be considered close to the lifts and other amenities.
However, this apartment is particularly well situated - virtually "ski-in ski-out", and literally overlooking the nursery slopes.
With the right expectation (European ski accommodation is generally "compact") - our group of 4 adults and 3 children was comfortable, and the owners have furnished and laid it out sensibly.
For us it Morillon is a great location for a ski holiday with young families:
Ski-in ski out so no time wasted in the car in the morning and easy to change over at lunchtime
Quiet area with everything you need in the village (ski hire, bakery, grocery shop)
Short transfer time from Geneva airport (1 hr)
Nursery slopes close by (as well as an actual nursery - childcare - should you require it)

A fantastically located three bedroom property, ideal as a base for a ski holiday.
I stayed in this property with two friends, over the 2018/2019 New Year, meaning that we could each have a bedroom. These were well furnished and supplied with clean bedding. The bathroom was well sized with a large bath which was used each day after skiing. The water pressure was excellent and we never found ourselves wanting for hot water. A separate toilet is always desirable when sharing with friends. The kitchen was used most days to complete some form of cooking on either the hob, in the oven/grill or in the convection microwave. The smart TV, with DVD player attached, allowed us a wide range of entertainment options when staying in for the night. High speed internet allowed the teenager amongst us to stay connected to the outside world throughout the stay. The spacious balcony was not used a lot, due to the cold weather, however on New Years Eve it was a great place to see some of the fireworks going off in Les Esserts. With the main ski lift being about 50m from the ski storage it was an easy walk each morning to head off into the Grand Massif ski area. Beginners are very well catered for with the main beginners area a similar distance below the accommodation. Les Esserts has a good range of restaurants, bars and shops to visit after a hard day of skiing. The restaurants catered for the less adventurous patrons with a wide range of pizza and burger options, but also allowed the more adventurous to try out the many Haute-Savoire specialties this region is famous for. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the property and I will certainly be staying there again in the future.
Nous avons passé une super semaine de vacances dans l'appartement de Bryan. Tres bien situé, surtout avec de jeunes enfants, la proximité avec l'ESF PiouPiou est particulierement pratique. L'accès au reste du domaine est aussi très proche de l'appartement.Bryan est réactif aux messages et toujours tres sympa. Je vous recommande cette locationl'appartel.ent. . Bryan est reac
Prima appartement voorzien van alle gebruiksgemakken. Eenvoudig ingericht. Uitzicht op dal en babyweide. Balkon geeft pas in namiddag zon. Krukjes(2) bij eettafel is praktisch maar niet zo gebruiksvriendelijk
Très bel appartement de 3 vraies chambres, très propre et confortable. Trés bien situé dans la station, tout près des cours pour enfants et remontées mécaniques. Jolie vue sur les montagnes.
Commerces à proximité.
L'appartement est très bien situé. Proche des remontées. Il est très bien équipé et l'hôte est très réactif pour nous renseigner. Le local à ski est très appréciable.
Une passoire en + et c'est parfait.

Perfecte ligging bij de pistes. Mooi uitzicht en genoeg ruimte
Appartement très bien situé et très agréable pour les familles.
Nous avons grandement apprécié la proximité avec le jardin d'enfants de l'ESF (Club Piou-Piou jusqu'à Ourson) sur lequel nous avions par ailleurs une très belle vue. Appartement très agréable en famille. Le fait d'avoir 3 vraies chambres était aussi un plus et nous a permis de réserver la pièce à vivre aux repas et aux activités de détente ensemble. Bien placé dans la station pour rejoindre les pistes à pied (les télésièges sont à deux minutes) ou à ski quand l'enneigement le permet.
The apartment is in an excellent position with easy access to the ski lifts. The views are amazing, the apartment is good value for money and spacious. There is everything you would need in the kitchen and it is lovely and warm. We would love to stay there again.
Nous avons passé une semaine très sympathique dans l'appartement de Bryan. Sa location est très bien située dans la station. De plus nous étions 4adultes et 2 enfants en bas âges dans l'appartement sans nous marcher dessus. Nous reviendrons très certainement! Cécile et Tidjani.

Everything you need
Perfectly located, it is not the largest of apartments we have stayed in but it had everything we needed so who could ask for more. The benefit of 3 seperate bedrooms was a great plus. Free parking nearby a bonus. We cooked on a couple of nights and the kitchen was well equipped. Nice mix of English and French neighbours within this quiet block. That first chair lift is just across the road so you can sleep in and still get the first lift. Interesting Blue back at the end of the day or a cheeky Green that keeps moving through the trees if you are feeling tired, both landing you seconds from the front door. Would consider staying again.

A spacious apartment right on the slopes
With 3 proper bedrooms this apartment is also well kitted out for self caterers . We literally bumped our skis off the front door on one occasion its that close to the slopes. In the morning its either a 50 metre walk to the chair or ski down a short green and on to a bubble. It would work well for families as well as a groups. In addition the owner was great to deal with. No hesitation to recommend

Perfect stay in a wonderful apartment!
This was the second time we stayed in this wonderful apartment. Three bedrooms, so plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen is very well equipped. I also liked the fact that there is a washingmachine, a dishwasher and a fast wifi connection. The apartment overlooks the ESF ski school and it is only a short walk to the lifts or the supermarket. The contact with the owner, Bryan, is also very pleasant. All in all a great stay, we will definitely be back!

appartement agréable
Nous avons passé une agréable semaine. Appartement bien équipé, fonctionnel, bien situé .
Parfait avec des enfants en bas âge, car proximité du club piou piou. On peut même les suivre du balcon
2 tout petits reproches: manque de rangement pour les petits objets (clés, forfaits, papiers) et l'ensoleillement tardif du balcon (fin d'après midi)

Lovely apartment right by the ski slopes.
This apartment is ideally situated right by the nursery slopes and lifts. Well appointed and decent sized rooms for type of property. Kitchen area well equipped to make straightforward meals and table comfortably seats 6. Downstairs cave for ski storage.
Great access to Grand Massif ski area and across to Flaine now the new lift has been opened. Less crowded, quiet resort compared to Samoens and Flaine.
We were staying for a short break and there is enough in Morillon on an evening to keep you occupied. We went to both a straightforward pizza bistro and a more upmarket restaurant both good value for the region (nothing is cheap!) and friendly service.

About the host
Hosted by Bryan
Hi, I'm Bryan. I currently live in Norfolk with my wife and two children. We bought the apartment 'off-plan' in 2004 and have spent the last 13 years visiting Morillon and updating the apartment to get it just right for our own and our guests enjoyment.
Why they chose this property
Everyone who has stayed has had a really good time and has been really appreciative and complimentary about the apartment; especially its location. Because it is an apartment rather than a large chalet we have focused on getting the right balance between aesthetics and functionality and this has resulted in an attractive, comfortable accommodation where everything - even down to the number of door hooks - has been carefully thought through. If you have been skiing before you will know that apart from the quality of the snow the most important factor is the proximity of where you are staying to the lifts. It is all very well renting a lavish chalet but ultimately you will want to spend most of your time skiing and not walking to or from the lifts or waiting for a bus - especially at the end of a glorious day hitting the slopes hard. With this property, you can on the lift within three minutes of getting your boots on or ski to within 10 metres of the door when your legs won't take any more.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location! The thing that can make or break a ski holiday is its distance from the slopes and lift. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a beginner you will really love not having to walk for ages to get out onto the mountain or back after a lovely long day of skiing/boarding. The main lift is about 2 minutes walk away from the front door (in ski boots) and the learner slope is just on the other side of the building i.e. less than a minute away.
***Don't forget the summertime!*** The alps make a fantastic holiday destination any time of year and in the summer it is incredibly hot with crystal clear mountain air, loads of activities and fabulous food. Whilst some like to head for the valley bottom in the summer, up the mountain is wonderfully quiet - serene even. If you are looking for for a place to really get away from it all you would find it hard to beat the peaceful tranquility of the French alps.
