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.

Hot Summer in Samoens

Spotlessly clean 3 storey chalet/apartment. Very well equipped kitchen (2 fridge/freezers) and 3 modern bathrooms. Located just off the Col de Jeux Plane route to Morzine and 5 mins downhill walk into Samoens which has a number of bars, restaurants and shops plus at least 2 boulangeries and a mini supermarket. 5 mins drive away is Lac Bleu at Morillon/Verchais great for families with inflatables on the lake and a treetop obstacle course. Only issue for us was having kitchen on ground floor away from living room and balcony on 1st floor so we got lots of steps in but just a small point. No views from bedrooms as all 3 face to the rear of the building. Balcony off living area gives view out We enjoyed hot weather so used the shutters to keep the house cool during the day while we were out. Excellent wifi plus a PS5! Garage has been converted to a bedroom but enough space to store one bike. Really nice stay thank you! Samoens Samoens. Lovely town across town.

Appartement propre . Nous avons passé un agreable sejour en août 2024 avec nos petits enfants.Juste un bémol : le coin cuisine salle à manger est un peu petit et pas de possibilité de manger à l exterieur puisque le balcon se sitie au premier étage . Deux chambres sont aveugles ( pasde fenêtres)

About the host

Hosted by Elan raja

Host profile image
We thought it be nice for you to get a brief idea of who we are.

Elan & Piral first set their eyes on Samoens in 2007 and fell in love with it immediately, after many a ski season spent in hedonistic Chamonix. They knew they wanted somewhere they could bring their whole family to, to enjoy throughout all seasons - with something for everyone. Piral was expecting their first-born at the time and knew that this place would become a home from home for their growing family. The picturesque village, the hub of wholesome village activities through winter and summer, the easy access to Grand Massif pistes over ski season, the hustle and bustle of the friendly locals, the arts and crafts, and the splendid breathtaking sunsets...

Fast forward 15 years - Elan is still a keen off-piste snowboarder and mountain biker, while Piral likes to enjoy hikes, apres-skiing and quality time with good friends. As for the children: they have been skiing since in nappies, foraging for wood for the log fire and toasting marshmellows, gaming or enjoying Netflix in the comfort of the chalet-apartment. It goes without saying that Buqa is literally our happy place.
We, at Buqa are strong believers of 'Mi Casa es Tu Casa' and we want you to enjoy your stay at Buqa just as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Samoens is a chocolate box village in the heart of the Rhone-Alps. The lesser known of the French alpine resorts, the beauty is in the fact that it has remained relatively authentic, cultured and well-preserved. It is a truly hidden gem, popular among couples, families, friends and those who love outdoor adventures.
Each season brings a whole new landscape and energy with it. Our favourite snapshot is the view from the balcony at sunset, when the last of the paragliders are descending the pink skies.

What makes this property unique

BUQA stands for a Beautifully Unique, Quality Adventure

Our ethos at BUQA is 'Tout est possible... tout est permit'. The possibilities to create new and wonderful memories are endless.

At Buqa, we want our guests to have the perfect experience, no matter what type of holiday they are after. Whether it is a family getaway, a winter activity holiday, a summer outdoor adventure or just quality time having fun with friends, we believe we can cater for all.

Buqa is an extension of our family and something we work hard to preserve. With the help of our chalet manager Gilles- who is always at hand - we ensure that all the details prior, during and after your stay have been carefully thought through.
We may not always get it right, but the difference is that WE LISTEN. We will go the whole length to make sure our guests are comfortable throughout, and excited to book their stay with us again.

Please read the reviews from guests who have stayed at Buqa for a taste of what to expect.
