Snowgums

We had an absolutely lovely time staying at Snowgums. Pippa, the owner, is very dedicated to helping you have the best stay and experiencing the copious amounts of things to do and places to explore. I felt like Heidi on the fabulous walks she recommended. There are lakes, a spa, a river, a lovely medieval town to have a crepe. Super refuge restaurants to visit in the mountains. Our apartment was really pleasant and tastefully put together, full of beautiful objet d'art bought from local flea markets, which means a lot to me. A soothing place to return to after a busy day out. I have come home

Thanks so much for your hospitality and for sharing your cosy apartment. It was a perfect retreat. We absolutely loved your suggestions for walks, and really fell in love with the smaller valleys and their picturesque villages and mountain refuges. We truly hope to return, and to continue the conversations too! You are most welcoming, which we greatly appreciated.

We a wonderful Christmas break staying at Snowgums and skiing at Serre Chevalier as a family of five. Pippa and Becky made us so welcome and added lots of special festive touches that added even more to the very special ambiance of this apartment, which has been sensitively restored and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the visits from Chine the dog and Luc the cat. The skiing was the best we've ever had, helped by sunshine and blue skies. Christmas meals from chef Carol were awesome and kept us going for multiple days, and on Pippa's advice we visited Briancon old town, which we enjoyed too.

A fantastic, lucky choice for our first Alpine adventure: a cool, restful home to return to after a hot day out exploring. We had a lovely week, arriving and getting around by public transport (although next time we'll hire a car too). It's been the perfect compliment to our preceding four nights in Turin and we now have so many ideas for what to do on our next visit.

Pippa is an exceedingly welcoming and likeable host. She listens well and takes a great deal of time and effort helping you get the most out of your stay at Snowgums which is such a helpful addition. Snowgums is a quirky older building which is a treat to experience; and the surrounding nature trails are an outdoor lover’s paradise. Snowgums is a tidy and clean self-catered apartment with all the necessities. Local chef Carol can provide super meals for a reasonable cost to enjoy at the apartment which makes life simple; and our dog, Jasper, was welcomed as well as us with no fuss at all.
