Holiday Apartment Rental in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains

An owner-let vacation rental you book direct

Looking for a holiday apartment in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains means choosing the right kind of place to stay: an authentic resort village in the French Alps, at the foot of Mont Blanc, where you can do almost everything on foot. Le Refuge is an owner-let vacation rental — you book direct with Christine and Stéphane, with no agency and no booking fees. It sits in the heart of the resort, steps from the shops, the restaurants and the train station. Park the car on the private space and enjoy a whole week without moving it again.

The apartment is a 3-star apartment of 43 m², arranged as three rooms: two bedrooms and a living room with a sofa bed, sleeping up to 6. It is ideal for a family or a group of friends who want a real holiday home rather than a hotel room, with flexible weekly stays let Saturday to Saturday.

The village and the town centre

St Gervais has kept its Savoyard village soul: a lively main street, café terraces, and the Belle Époque architecture left by two centuries of thermal-spa heritage. Every Thursday the Saint-Gervais market fills the centre, all year round. From Le Refuge you can walk to the bakery in the morning, the restaurants in the evening and the sports centre with its pool (700 m). The apartment nestles in the hamlet of Les Granges, on the Mont d’Arbois side — quiet, yet a short stroll from the heart of the resort.

Four seasons of holidays in Saint-Gervais

The great strength of St Gervais is that it works summer and winter. You can come back in every season and never have the same holiday twice.

Winter: skiing the Évasion Mont-Blanc area

In winter, the Le Bettex cable car (1.5 km) opens onto the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area and its 445 km of pistes linking Saint-Gervais, Megève and Les Contamines-Montjoie. Alpine skiing, cross-country, snowshoeing and sledging suit every level and age. To plan a week on the snow, see our dedicated ski apartment in St Gervais page.

Summer: hiking, Mont Blanc and the great outdoors

In summer, St Gervais becomes a base camp for the mountains: hiking trails from the village, the Tramway du Mont-Blanc, mountain biking, paragliding and cool mountain air when the lowlands swelter. All the summer ideas are gathered on our summer apartment in St Gervais page.

Spring and autumn: wellness at the thermal baths

In the shoulder seasons, enjoy Les Thermes de Saint-Gervais (5 km), whether for a wellness break or simply a spa day. The apartment makes a practical, affordable base: more on our thermal spa in St Gervais page.

Why book direct with the owners

Le Refuge is not run by an agency: you book direct with Christine and Stéphane Lettoli, the owners. In practice, that makes a real difference to your holiday:

• The best rate: no platform commission and no agency fees — what you pay goes to the apartment, not to a middleman.
• A human contact: you speak directly to the owners, who know the resort and can advise on activities, good addresses and the seasons.
• Flexibility: dates, length of stay and arrival are arranged in conversation, not boxed in by a portal.

To check availability and book, simply call +33 (0)6 14 40 72 20. You get a clear answer, a net price and the feeling of arriving at someone’s home rather than a booking reference.
