Guest Reviews
RecommendedAmazing, clean and comfortable home. Highly recommend.
Our stay at Pothecary apartment was a very comfortable stay. The place is as advertised, very clean, well equipped, comfortable beds and amazing location.
It is a very quiet unit yet the minute you leave the building you are on the main street, 2 min walk to Casino, Picard and the shops. The slopes are a 10 min enjoyable walk, you could drive too.
The kitchen is well equipped, our previous experiences have been with owners of apartments equipping their kitchen with left overs from their own homes. This was not the case at Pothecary, the plates, cups, wine glasses, cutlery pots and pans were all new, and matching, which reflects a level of detail that we appreciate.
The only suggestion is to update the upholstery of the couches. They are very comfortable but the fabric is showing signs of wear and tear. Truly this is the only suggestion we have.
We look forward to staying there again next year, and working with Chamonix All Year.
RecommendedFantastic Flat!
The location is quite possibly the best in Chamonix. The flat is very comfortable with plenty of living space, great outdoor area, fantastic views of the Mt Blanc and easy access to everything in town. Highly recommend!
RecommendedVraiment dans le centre-ville
Un appartement dans le centre de Chamonix, avec un jardin vue Mont Blanc. Un espace à vivre très confortable, les trois chambres très petites avec des petits armoires.
RecommendedGreat return stay
Great apartment in the centre of Chamonix. Rebooked after a good visit last year. Very comfortable with lovely views from the garden.
RecommendedAmazing stay in Chamonix!
We visited Chamonix for the first time and the apartment booked through Chamonix All Year was fantastic. The location was terrific; everything necessary for our stay was easy to access and the apartment was extremely comfortable. The staff at Chamonix All Year were also terrific and readily helped with our inquiries and activities before and during our stay. I would definitely book with them again on our return to Chamonix!
RecommendedPerfic stay
Awesome apartment in perfect location. Super comfortable and spacious, huge tv, well equipped kitchen, 2 minutes from main ski bus on the main pedestrian street. Will definitely go back.
RecommendedGreat apartment and location
Lovely apartment and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect!
The kids appreciated the huge tv in the evenings.
Great location!!!
The first thing that I have to say is that Millie met us right on time and was very professional helping us check in. In fact, she arranged for us to check in earlier and put our food in the fridge. We really enjoyed working with Chamonix All Year, they are legit. This unit is in the heart of downtown Chamonix which is great, you can pretty much walk everywhere in a few minutes. The views from Mont Blanc and the river are gorgeous. The kitchen has been redone and it's really well equipped. The unit is comfortable, the TV works great, etc... The condo needs a sun shade or umbrella outside in the patio so you can use the outdoor table as it gets really sunny and too hot in the summer months. The condo absolutely needs a grill so you can enjoy the little private garden. In my opinion the condo is a little bit dated and if they remodeled it, it would be a stunning property.
Thank you!
RecommendedSpacious, comfortable apartment in excellent location
A great base for a summer holiday in Chamonix. Apartment was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Garden was a great bonus - we enjoyed sitting outside in the evening admiring the view of Mont Blanc. Kids were very pleased with the massive TV! Quiet and peaceful despite being in the town centre and within a few minutes walk of many restaurants and shops including supermarket, Aiguille du Midi and Brevent lifts, and Mer de Glace train. We had driven to Chamonix, but barely used the car all week.
RecommendedSuperb location and spaciousness for our family group of six
We very much enjoyed our second stay at the Pothecary apartment. It was perfect for our family group of six. We love the location in the centre of town with a view of Mont Blanc from the patio. The kitchen was well equipped. We would be happy to stay here again and would recommend it to our friends.
RecommendedFamily Gathering
After spending several years on ski holidays many spent in the lovely town of Chamonix we decided due to 2 very special birthday's we would gather the family 9 in all to celebrate and enjoy everything Chamonix has to offer. We chose the company of "Chamonix all year" after much research as the company we wanted to arrange our booking and the excellent large apartment of "Pothecary" was chosen as our base for 7 of our party our other 2 family members stayed at a nearby hotel, we were not disappointed by anything really apart from perhaps we did find the bedrooms on the small size in comparison to the rest of the apartment the location could not be better right in the middle of town but very quiet, lovely views next to the river and a garden to enjoy. The Chamonix valley can cater for all standards of skiers from beginners to the "don't follow me I'am mad lot" and even for anyone who cannot as there is plenty to do, a trip on the little train up to "Mer de Glacé" to see the ice cave, luge rides at "Planards" or just going for a walk to enjoy the mountains. Finally a big thank you to the "Chamonix all Year " team for everything we really enjoyed our "Family Gathering" and will be back!!!!
RecommendedSuperb location & a fantastic company
The Pothecary apartment is located within walking distance of everything, yet is set back & feels very peaceful, especially with the river flowing at the bottom of your garden with an amazing view of Mont Blanc! The apartment was fully equipped & had ample heating, especially as it was -10 degrees outside! The Chamonix All Year staff were all amazing and helped us with our various requests. I would recommend this apartment as it is exactly what it says in the advertisement, is good value for money & is excellently located. I would also recommend highly booking through Chamonix All Year & I am sure I will book again in the future. Thank you for making it a truly lovely holiday.
RecommendedFantastic apartment in prime location
The Pothecary Apartment from Chamonix All Year is an absolute gem. Superbly situated in the heart of the town centre close to all the restaurants and shops. It is spacious and cosy at the same time. Rooms are all of a good size and the large living area is great for groups. Being next to the river with its own outdoor space is just the icing on the cake. Highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay in the centre of Chamonix.
RecommendedVery good accommodation - clean and spacious with good views to Mt Blanc
Very conveniently situated yet quiet. Only criticism was that we found the mattresses a bit too firm. Would certainly use again and recommend to others.
RecommendedGreat location and facilities
We stayed at Pothecary for a long weekend in February. It is very centrally located, just a few steps away from the Main Street in Chamonix near to bars, restaurants and shops. The apartment is well equipped, with a large open plan lounge and kitchen, two bathrooms and a separate loo (with washing machine). In the summer it would be lovely to sit outside on the patio which overlooks the river. Really comfortable and central apartment.
RecommendedWonderful Apartment
A beautiful apartment.Bang in the centre of town,beside the river l Arve looking towards Mont Blanc.Apartment is open plan and very spacious. The well equipt kitchen that has doors to take you out to the private garden is great to chill in after a day in the mountains.Everything that Chamonix has to offer is less than a stone throw away,shops.restaurants.cafes bars and much more.Don,t be mistaken and think this would be a noisy apartment ,it is unbelievably quite with only the river l Arve to listen to .The service from Chamonix All Year was excellent,can,t find any fault here.We will certainly return as soon as possible,highly recommend.
RecommendedSuperb location and amenities for a great family holiday in Chamonix.Spacious
Spacious, clean well appointed apt with glorious views of Mont Blanc and sounds of the Arve River.
Close to shops, lifts and all services. Good for all ages
RecommendedGreat apartment for a family gathering
Apartment Pothecary is ideally situated right in the centre of Chamonix. We loved having breakfast in the garden with views of Mont Blanc. The lounge area is large enough to entertain lots of friends. Thoroughly recommend.
Superbe terrasse au pied des sommets emblématiques de la vallée .
Sebastien Tricault, France - February 2017 (AirBnB review)
Communication was very good and very clear. Chamonix All Year were very flexible accomodating for check in and check out Appartment location is excellent: you probably cannot find any better in Chamonix! Flat is really spacious and can easily sleeps 8 (2 will sleep in the double living room, which is acceptable because of the size of it). Wifi was excellent. Satelitte TV too. There was also a Bose docking station which is always a plus. Nespresso machine!!! Yeah! Spacious apartment. Correctly priced
Antoine Lecourt, France – February 2015 (This review was originally posted on AirBnB)
We love the apartment so much we don't want to tell anyone else about it - it's so good we want to keep it a secret :-D
Janet Finlayson, UK – August 2014
Excellent situation to stay, handy for centre of resort. Underground parking great.
Steve Workman, UK – January 2014
It was really a nice stay in Chamonix. All of us were enjoining the city, mountains and definitely also the marvellous apartment with the magnificent view.
Even that in general we like to go every year to new locations to explore new people and to see new countries there were already a discussion to brake this rule and go back to Chamonix to the same apartment.
Definitely I will recommend to my friends to stay with you in Chamonix.
I would like again say thank you to Chris. He did a great job – reception, introduction of Chamonix, rules in the apartment, ... – simply everything.
Andrej Lesnjak - Slovenia. August 2013
My five friends and I had a fantastic first stay in Chamonix at the Pothecary apartment, and we couldn't believe our luck when we arrived to see that the central apartment had its own exclusive garden. We spent a lot of time sitting in the garden admiring the awesome view of the mountains. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and always on hand to answer our queries no matter how trivial they were. We love Chamonix and we love that apartment! Planning our return trip already :-)
Janet Finlayson, UK - August 2013
4/5 - We stayed in April 2013 and found the property to have lots of space and ideally located right in the centre of Chamonix behind the Chanel shop. Please note there is no oven in this property just a hob and microwave although we didn't find that a problem. There is also a large outside area (patio and lawn) which offers great views of the mountains.

Comment from management: since these guests stayed a new kitchen has been fitted and includes a full size oven.

Best yet for place to stay and skiing.
Steve Workman - UK. Jan 2013
We have found a very clean and nice appartment, very well situated right in the centre of Chamonix, but still very quiet, with a splendid view on the Mont Blanc and the Aiguilles of Chamonix And last but ont least, a very warm and friendly welcome :-)
Claude Balzano - France. July 2012
We have a fab week staying at Apt Pothecary with our 2 young children (1 and 4yrs).It was very comfortable, fantastic location right in the middle of town (but not noisy), secure underground parking, garden backing onto the river (though fenced off). Great tv/sofa area with lots of space and fully equipped with everything we needed. Many thanks, we shall definitely be back!
Philly Thirlwall - UK. March 2012
We ( 2 seniors, 4 adults,2 children and 1 infant) stayed for 2 weeks and a half at the apartment pothecary. Its location is thought to be the best in the city center. We visited the surrounding sight spots such as Aosta, Courmayeur and Annecy by a rental car and tried to get all kind of lifts and trains with the 9 days consecutive lift pass and the chamonix pass. Your apartment is quite comfortable and easily accessible to the every transportation such as the bus stop,train station and lift station.
Yagi and Kawabata from Japan, and Sawda from UK. September 2011
Fantastic accommodation, service and individualised attention from Chamonix All Year to make our stay as special as Chamonix. Many thanks.
Linda Hughes – UK. June 2011
The location is extremely central, everything is within 300m! The apartment is greatly furnished, everything you need like the giant plasma TV and nice sound system. You feel that they did not go cheap on anything!
