This is a lovely property in a good position. Easy to walk to shops & restaurants. Easy to park. The kitchen has everything you need and more (including two fridges). What was exceptional was the communication. The host answered every question almost instantly and was extremely helpful. I would recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Well appointed apartment only a few minutes walk into Samoens.
Buqa is a lovely apartment set out over three floors. The heated floors are a definite highlight making the apartment comfortably warm the instant you walk through the door. Our party consisted of four adults and two children and there was plenty of space for us to chill out as a group. The media set up in the apartment is fantastic with loads of films available on four TVs throughout the property. Luckily for us the snow was fantastic with plenty of great skiing and snowboarding. All in all a great week.

Chalet idéal
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans ce magnifique chalet, tout équipé, avec tout le confort comme à la maison. Le chalet est suffisamment espacé du centre de la ville pour séjourner au calme, assez proche pour rejoindre les commerces à pied et avec une vue magnifique sur Samoëns. Monsieur Gillu est très arrangeant, de bons conseils et fort agréable. Mamie Chantal n’est pas prête de l’oublier 😄

Joli logement, très bien équipé et calme
Appartement confortable et très bien équipé (cuisine, sdb, console de jeux) dans un environnement très calme avec une belle vue sur les montagnes. Par contre, 10 minutes à pied de l'arrêt du skibus (Place des 7 Monts, ligne jaune), avec une 'bonne' montée au retour avec le matériel de ski. A prendre en compte surtout avec des enfants. Nous recommandons tout de même pour le charme du lieu et de Samoens (nombreux chalets, centre charmant).

Sehr schöne Ferienhaushälfte in toller Lage
Wir (4 Erwachsene + 4 Kinder) waren 1 Woche zum Skifahren in Samoens. Die Unterkunft liegt sehr central (5min zu Fuss ins Zentrum). Man hat alles was man benötigt. Viel Entertainment (Spielekonsolen, 4 Flachbildfernseher, die wir aber kaum genutzt haben). Schöner Wohnbereich mit Kamin. Garage mit Schuhheizung. Zur Gondel sind es 3min mit dem Auto oder man kann auch in ca 20min hinlaufen oder mit dem Skibus fahren. Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche und können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen.

A wonderful place to be. We enjoyed every moment.
A great location. 5 mins on foot, and your in the wonderful town center. I had never heard of Samoëns, but it is a gem. (A secret location, that I probably should not tell anyone about). It is just how you want a french town to be. Not too big, not packed, not a tourist hole. It has a relaxed charm about it, and it is defo NOT a tourist ripoff. Drinks, and eating out are not expensive here. We where here for a couple of weeks at the end of July 2018, with our 2 teenage kids..The weather was divine. The balcony is small, but it is just what you want in the morning, and in the evening, with a coffee or a glass of wine, and a wonderful view. You can also sit on the street outside the house and chill, which is nice. It was baking hot as we where there, but the house did not heat up. so it was comfortable in hot summer, day or night. If you enjoy any kind of outdoor activity, this is a great place to be in the summer. There is so much you can do here, it is crazy. The scenery is mad. It is the French Alps, full on.You can either go nuts, and do everything, or you can chill, eat, and drink like the gods. We did a bit of everything. Chillin, eating, walking a lot, and keeping the kids busy with things that kids dream about. I would recommend this chalet, and it's location, to any family with active kids. It is not huge, but it has everything you need, is modern, clean, and the price is right. We had a fabulous time here. The owner is a friendly, down to earth guy. He has a man on location who sorts things out for you when you arrive, and leave. We wanted for nothing, have nothing to complain about, and shall defo be returning next year (without the kids)
