Toni and Jez

Who? What? Why?

From our experience there are 3 things which can make or break a ski holiday; Location, food and accommodation, oh and great hosts!

Our high quality service at a value for money price will not let you return home disappointed. Only 1 hour from Geneva airport, Morillon is a picturesque alpine village, which manages to maintain a rural charm, traditional French appeal all year round. We found ourselves drawn to this part of the French Alps due to the immense variety of winter and summer activities and its spectacular natural setting. We take pride in our services, attention to detail and passion in what we offer - We really do care about your experience


Toni graduated from Kings College London with a BA and PGCE in Modern Languages and Education. Her French language skills have enabled us to integrate into the community ensuring that we maintain an authentic French experience something which is very important to us and which we feel has been lost in some of the busier resorts. She is a qualified masseuse and is trained in NLP, Hypnotherapy and Relaxation and a modern langauge teacher. As a mother of two, Ella 5, Emie 3, she also can also relate to family life and incorporate her skills into the day to day host role and within the in-house childcare service we offer. She is a natural with people of all ages and a great host to help where and when required

Jez graduated from Jordanhill College Glasgow with a BA in Outdoor Education in the Community and then subsequently worked as an Outdoor Pursuits Instructor. He then spent six years serving as a Captain in Her Majesty’s Royal Marines. Jez has harboured ambitions to eventually open his own restaurant and Chalet Esprit has enabled him an early opportunity to demonstrate his culinary flair, a natural in the kitchen. Jez also is a Master Practioner in NLP and truly cares about people from the inside out. He is passion driven to give back to others, heal, develop and encourage growth, development and understanding. His therapy weeks are a must for anyone; cleansing, clarifying and pure self indulgence - a real treat for the mind, body and soul.


Our wish was to spend our married life living and working together in the environment we both fell in love with prior to falling in love with each other. If you’re wondering why we chose to embark upon what has been a life-changing project, our aim from the outset has never been driven by financial gain but a desire to achieve a quality of life in which to live and work. We intend to remain independent and private, and offer the type of accommodation and flexibility of service that we, our friends and family have been searching for whilst holidaying in the Alps. Our two chalets, Esprit (built in 2004) and Exige (built in 2008) embody our passion and personalities, offering a practical, comfortable, luxurious and homely environment
