Chalet Villa Cachat — Hotel in Bonneville

Chalet Villa Cachat is a delightful 100+ year old house in the heart of Chamonix but you will never find it unless you see the swinging gate in the impenetrable hedge that separates it from the street. Outside is the bustle of downtown Chamonix. Inside is quite lawn leading to the house, complete with guest hot tub. Patrick is your host, your breakfast provider, and your all-around guide.
