Snowgums

While part of a group organised by 'France Walks' to visit the Hautes Aples, I and my two singing and walking companions stayed in the Snowgums apartment, hosted by Pippa. The accommodation was very comfortable, very French and made us feel very much 'at home' with lots of little touches like wild flowers in vases, suppress in the orchard garden, getting to know Pippa's family: daughter, dog and pussy cat! A beautiful area to visit, Pippa is the perfect guide as well as the perfect host. Pop over from Italy or come down from Paris.

We came for just three nights - not nearly long enough to experience the wonders of the area (although we packed in what we could!). THANK YOU for the use of your wonderful house and also for your hospitality, not to mention your advice and tips. We had a lovely time at Pippa's quirky, homely place in the magnificent Hautes Alps. Our host was charm itself and gave us so many helpful tips to fully enjoy the area - it made it feel like a home from home. We loved it here and are already planning our return.

We had a delightful stay at Snowgums - skiing and enjoying the apartment, its garden and wendyhouse, the dog and cat and Pippa's company (and her child care when we needed it). Natalie (chef) home cooked meals were also terrific. We loved the fact that skiing was made easy - with the shuttle bus running pretty much straight outside the house; the sports shop "Outlands" allowed us to just kit up and drop off clobber on a daily basis and the slopes, ESP ski school and French bakery were just 3 minutes walk from the sports shop. This makes all the difference with 3 quite young children.

A very lovely apartment, that was well equipped and clean and so very cosy. Pippa was very helpful and the perfect host. Our children enjoyed the stay very much and we hope to be back for another visit soon!

A wonderful apartment! We had a great time thanks to Pippa's hospitality and her advice to make our stay comfortable and exciting. We enjoyed all the activities that we did in such amazing scenery! The children at first did not want to have a mountain holiday, but in the end they liked the week at Snowgums the most and it won the prize for ‘ the best week’ of our summer holidays!
