Wayne was one of the most delightful guests we’ve had stay at our chalet in 12 years. He was easy to communicate with and left the chalet in immaculate condition. Highly recommend.
What a fabulous house! Two adult siblings and their spouses and five small children enjoyed five magical days together exploring the region (highlights for the kids included the mini golf park, watching the dozens of cows all around the area, and Glacier 3000 and the Argentine run for the adults!), playing endless games of monopoly (thanks for stocking the house with so many games!), eating delicious meals at the huge kitchen table, and cooking in the extremely well-stocked kitchen. Everyone had enough space to spread out and we all slept well. Ian was wonderfully accessible any time we had questions. We will 100% be back! Thank you so much again!
Wir waren mit der ganzen Familie (8 Erwachsene und 2 Kindern und ein Baby) im Chalet. Es bietet alles was man sich wünscht. Die Aussicht ist einmalig. Wir haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war einwandfrei. Kann es nur weiter empfehlen.
Les Hirondelles has everything you need for an excellent ski holiday. The view is astonishing, the facilities in the chalet are well thought-of, and it has everything you need for a worry-free stay, including a toddler's boosting seat, a changing table and a raclette and fondue set. The only inconvenient during our stay was that workers came to replace some carpets on the stairs downstairs, making noise and using strongly-smelling substances to glue the carpets - but they were gone after we mentioned to Christophe that it bothered us. Apart from this, everything was perfect. A place to come back to.
We had a wonderful time at chalet Les Hirondelles! The property is fantastic; clean, well decorated, spaceful, has a complete kitchen, excelent linen quality and amazing pool/sauna. The comunication with Ian was very easy and direct. The chalet manager was also very helpful. We definetely recomend and plan to come back!
Tout était parfait avec un spa de grande qualité et des équipements luxueux
Nous reviendrons

Jean was an absolute pleasure to have at the chalet. He left it in perfect condition. Easy to communicate. Look forward to welcoming him in future. Highly recommend.
Wir haben uns mit unseren Freunden auf eine sehr schöne Auszeit gefreut. Bei unserer Anreise haben wir uns, als wir die Strasse zum Chalet hochgefahren sind, immer mehr gefreut, da die Aussicht und die Skipisten anbindung grandios ist.
Das Check-In war zwar sehr speziell, da nur die Putzfrauen vor Ort waren und wir keine Übergabe respektive Einführung bekamen.
Das Chalet entspricht zu 100% den Fotos und wir konnten die Auszeit sehr geniessen.
Was ein kleiner Dämpfer war, dass wir mehrere verschiedene Angaben zur Check-In bzw. Check-Out Zeit hatten. Dies sollten einheitlich dieselben Zeiten sein.
Wir werden garantiert wieder mit unseren Freunden in dieses Chalet zu besuch kommen. Vielen Dank

One of the most impressive chalets we have stayed in the Alps in 20 years. Unbelievable views
Chalet Les Hirondelles has everything we require - amazing views, ski in/ski out, apres ski jacuzzi and steam room, log burning fire and a kitchen which has fondue, racklette etc. This was a five star experience from the beautifully furnished rooms, chalet manager (Christophe) who overlooked the chalet to the breathtaking views from the balcony. We have already booked out holiday at Les Hirondelles for 2019/2020!

Startling views and wonderful cosy chalet.
We had a wonderful holidays in September in Switzerland and we enjoyed our stay at Les Hirondelles chalet.
We were a family with small children 2 and 5 years old and grandparents.We arrived at the chalet after a long trip and found it clean and inviting. The house is very safe and comfortable for staying with a small children.The house is fully equipped the furniture, the kitchen, the bathrooms are made in high standard.
The owners Ian and Denese very nice people and I have got a full information about the chalet and what we can do during our vacation .Ian answered me immediately for all my questions. So it was very comfortable to correspond with him.
I will also agree with all reviewers and descriptions of the chalet from other guests.
I highly recommend this chalet. We are looking forward to come back for winter holidays.
Yana and family.

Superb chalet
We have just come back from 5 days at the chalet, Les Hirondelles, and we had a fabulous time. The chalet itself is extremely comfortable and very well appointed. It has that special combination of being homely but incredibly functional: clearly a lot of care and thought has gone into designing and furnishing Les Hirondelles and nothing has been overlooked.
We were in Villars to do some walking and the chalet was well located for this. The area caters for all levels of walks and hikes and everything is extremely well sign-posted. Generally we would go out in the mornings and have lunch at one of the mountain restaurants recommended before heading back to the chalet to recuperate and take in the stunning views over the valley from the chalet balcony.
We would unhesitatingly recommend Les Hirondelles to anyone looking to spend summer days walking in Switzerland. You could spend the entire summer there and still not get through all that is on offer in terms of walking, biking, swimming and, of course, eating. Useful information for all of these is provided at the chalet and the owners were extremely helpful when it came to the complicated rules of recycling in Switzerland.
We would love to go back!

Vue fantastique des terrasses et de l'intérieur.
Beaucoup de grandes baies vitrées. Chalet très confortable et très spacieux même les terrasses.
Après une bonne randonnée, jacuzzi bien rafraichissant et reposant.
Nombreux jeux pour les petits ( et les grands.)
Le seul bémol pour les non sportifs: beaucoup de marches pour accéder au chalet depuis l'entrée, mais c'est le prix à payer pour avoir cette vue car le chalet est construit dans une forte pente.
Nous avons loué début juillet 2017, moment très calme. On dort bien.
Merci à nos hôtes.

Exceeded our high expectations! :-)
Absolutely enjoyed our week long stay at Les Hirondelles chalet and would highly-recommend it. Plenty of room and space for our family of eight (six adult 'kids') to play, relax, cook, and make some great memories together. Ah, the view - which is stunning - and then it gets turned up yet anther notch by the surprise double-rainbows and the magnificent sunsets, the cows and their harmonious bells in the distance and a sky full of stars. Really special.
Great hikes to Travayenne, Solalex, mountain biking, visits to the new Bains de Villars, the bakery in Barboleuse, Le Table restaurant and nostalgic day-trips to Vevey, Gruyere, Fribourg and Interlaken/Thun. Our second to last day also coincided with the Vaud wine festival and Marché Artisinal which was so much fun.
Transaction and communications with the owners and property manager were smooth and efficient.

Superbe Chalet !
Nous recommandons vivement ce chalet qui est totalement conforme aux photos et à la description.
Nous étions 7 adultes et 3 enfants et chacun a pu trouver son espace avec 5 belles chambres dotées de grandes salles de bain modernes et bien équipées.
Grande pièce à vivre avec cuisine spacieuse et conviviale.
Salle de jeu appréciée des enfants.
Un grand merci à Christophe qui gère le chalet sur place, très disponible et particulièrement efficace.
Pour ne rien gâcher, les moniteurs de l'école de ski de Gryons sont vraiment super et font aimer le ski aux enfants !
Nous recommandons donc la location de ce chalet !

9 years in Villars and yet to find better
Another wonderful visit for half term with my family to Les Hirondelles in Villars (see Taline F. review). This year was extra special, for the first time we navigated our way down the mountain as a family of 5. Given we are avid skiers this was a BIG milestone. When this feat is considered in combination with the familiar luxury and comfort the chalet it amounted to our best holiday ever. L'Etable is still a fantastic restaurant, the pistes are still extensive and well groomed, the post-ski hot tub and sauna get more necessary every year and the view from the sitting room still takes the breath away. I cannot recommend this chalet more highly.

Outstanding Family Chalet
As a family we have skied in many resorts and stayed in many chalets. Chalet Les Hirondelles if by far the very best we have ever stayed at.
Firstly it has the most unbelievable view from every window. It is decorated with huge style and comfort and has a wonderful friendly feel to it ... a little like being in ones own home.
All the bedrooms are of a fantastic size with their own immaculate and up to date bathrooms. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need and more. The open plan living room with central fireplace is stunning and works so well as an entertaining space and equally well as a space to sit and read your book while looking at that view!
If you have children their is a great games room, TV/snug room and a wonderful hot tub - we couldn't get our children out of this!
It is located just off the slopes so makes for the perfect start and end to your skiing day.
I highly recommend a stay at Chalet Les Hirondelles - you will never want to stay anywhere else again!
