Description
We are an English husband and wife with our 2 children Skyelar (6yrs) and Khione (3yrs) and our dog Lhotse living in the beautiful village of Samoens in the French Alps.
We run a catered chalet in the winter which involves cooking breakfast, afternoon tea and evening meal to our guests. It is usually for exclusive groups of English speaking guests and we aim to provide a 'home away from home' experience.
We also employ a full time Australian couple (Tom, 32 and Eden, 29) who take care of the day to day running of the chalet.
