Chalet Martinique - Chamonix All Year

We stayed at Chalet Martinique for two weeks in May/June. It’s a beautiful chalet, in a quiet area, with a lovely private garden with breathtaking views of the Mont Blanc and Aiguille du Midi. An easy 5-7 minute walk to the centre of Chamonix. The downstairs living area is very inviting, attractive and comfortable. The kitchen and dining area are nice too but there’s a lack of space for storing non fridge food and, as a previous reviewer mentioned, the pans need replacing. I wouldn’t say it was particularly clean and tidy either. The washer and dryer are a big plus and work well. Although we’d been amply warned, we found navigating the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms quite difficult and tiresome. The beds and the bedding are basic but not uncomfortable. The bathrooms are ok but not luxurious in any shape or form. One has a shower and the other has a bath with a handheld shower. Overall, this chalet is very good value for money but I wouldn’t say it’s a luxury chalet. Chamonix All Year (in particular Laura) were very responsive, helpful and attentive throughout our stay.

Shortcomings: The doors are no doors, there are blinds, no noise protection, you hear everthing from every bedroom. Upstairs is for tall people a nightmare. Pots and pas should be replaced

Un chalet proche de tout, très chaleureux je recommande avec une vue splendide sur le Mont Blanc. Les chambres sont mansardées.

The location of the home was perfect - walkable to the city core but far enough away for quiet and privacy. Sweeping views of the Mont Blanc massif out the front door. House/chalet was small but generally comfortable. I cannot overstate how tiny the upstairs feels, however. I’m 5’11 and was constantly hitting my head in doorways and in rooms (I eventually just learned to walk around hunched over). It wasn’t a dealbreaker but took quite a bit of getting used to. Overall, a lovely chalet in a spectacular part of the world.

Great location convenient to nearby ski areas and town. House is located in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to town and the ski bus. As noted, the stairs are narrow and the second floor a bit crowded if you are over 6 feet/1.8 meters. Wonderful views of the Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc. Kitchen is well equipped should you choose to cook in.
