Buqa-fied verb - to fulfill ones desires, expectations, needs, or demands..
At Buqa, we want our guests to have the perfect experience, no matter what type of holiday they are after. Whether it is a family getaway, a winter activity holiday, a summer outdoor adventure or just quality time having fun with friends, we believe we can cater for all. We may not always get it right, but the difference is that WE LISTEN. We will go the whole length to make sure our guests are comfortable throughout, and smiling at the end of their stay with us.
The reason our guests LOVE BUQA and want to return is... well, just see what they had to say following a successful first season at Apartment Buqa.
We chose Chalet Buqa for our honeymoon in Oct 09 as we wanted to spend a week in a beautiful village in the Alps. The Chalet was easy to find and only 45 minutes drive from Geneva which makes it an effortless journey. We arrived at night to find a chalet that had been really tastefully finished and was immaculately clean. We know the area well from both skiing and mountain biking, but having never been out of season before weren't sure what there would be to do during the day. Just exploring the immediate area kept us busy though. The waterfalls at Sixt fer a Cheval were really dramatic and the Botanic Gardens in town made for a great afternoon stroll in the sun. Feeling a little more energetic, we walked up to the summit of L'Aouille du Criou as it's such an impressive sight from the village. Its bigger than it looks and the views from about half way up near the Chalets were incredible. We also managed to cook some great meals; this was more down to the fantastic ingredients available in the village and the excellent kitchen than our skills. It was also great to see new technology being used so well to create such a relaxing feel, with underfloor heating, smart lighting and a great jacuzzi bath all being fully appreciated, especially after the long walk. Out of season it was the perfect place to wind down after our wedding and we had a fantastic week with Chalet Buqa playing a big part in that. Great memories and we already have plans to use it for skiing this winter.

Summer evenings. Aperitifs on the balcony overlooking the valley, as the sun sets over the mountains. Looking back on a great day's walking.
Buqa is a lovely chalet for a summer break, with lots to do during the days. We had a wonderful stay.

Many thanks to the Rajas for introducing us to Samoens and Buqa! It's the perfect location for those who like to keep active or just wishing to chill. Having spent the days climbing, white water rafting, canyoning, walking and cycling, we could return to Buqa and relax in style.
Whether you are a family looking for thrills, or a couple looking to escape for a few days, I would definitely recommend Buqa and Samoens for a summer holiday. We loved it so much, we are returning to Ski in the winter.

...I stayed at Buqa in March 2009, with a group of friends. We had a great time in Samoens, which BTW is a lovely little French town (not your typical French ski - in, ski -out type of resort that's got no charm at all). This little town is really nice, and as the Samoens ski area is part of the "Le Grand Massif" ski domain the potential for great skiing/snowboarding is endless - both for the more experience skiers/snowboarders but then also for the less experienced ones.
The location of Buqa is great, overlooking the town and mountainside - it is such a treat to wake up in the morning and to look out of the window, and get ready for yet another day in the slopes. The facilities in Buqa are great, very modern and a great living room type of area to chill and listen to the endless amount of music available, and likewise watch films. I will be back next year for sure, and this time I will bring the whole family...

We couldn't think of where to go for the bank holiday break and a family member suggested samoens and we thought what are we going to do in a little village when most of us are city people. How wrong we were, samoens was one of the most beautiful villages I have seen with the perfect summer weather and a multitude of outdoor activities for families/couples if you choose or unwind if you so desire. A picture-perfect village. There is so much to see around-chamonix, mont blanc and it's surrounding areas and Switzerland too. We were there for 4 days/5 nights, I wish we had longer. Can't wait to go back. Three generations had a great time.

Three words to describe our week at Apartment Buqa in Samoens: Idyllic, energetic and fun-filled. A wholesome experience we plan on repeating next season.
The Carrs family. Oxford, UK. | April 2009
We loved the whole week from start to finish. We were greeted by an immaculate apartment, both contemporary yet homely feel. Rob and Carla were the perfect hosts through the week, and much fun was had by all the family on the Grand Massif slopes. Well done Buqa!
The Thompson family | March 2009
Thanks Buqa for making our stay memorable! With some good advice from the hosts, my wife and I managed to cram a lot of activities and relaxation into one long weekend. For those who appreciate a bit of dare devil action, the Via ferrata mountain climbing definitely sent the heart racing! Lac aux Dames was beautiful for a leisurely stroll and a picnic, followed by a few rounds of golf at Morillon and we even managed the Indiana adventure park! To balance it out, we made good use of the Jacuzzi at Buqa, and caught some sun on the balcony.
Tom and Lucy. Cheshire, UK. | August 2009
Great value for money, very tastefully decorated apartment; the best bit for us had to be the Wii games console and the great selection of movies! The 7 of us were very comfortable, not tripping over each other like in chalets we've previously holidayed in. Cooking was actually a pleasure as the kitchen/diner was so stylish and well equipped. And to top off a great holiday, the powder on the slopes was amazing all week. :D
Jason and friends. Manchester UK. | March 2009
We loved our stay at Buqa. Great apartment, great location. The view of Samoens from the apartment was stunning, and we loved cosying up to the log fire most nights. The locals were really friendly and approachable, especially considering we speak so little French. The owner of Le Serac was very welcoming and the pizzas were delicious. Also, really enjoyed meeting the boys at Covey's Irish Bar and having a few drinks on a couple of occasions. A perfect relaxing getaway. We'll certainly be coming back.

This was a truly amazing location, with an air of peace and tranquillity in the beautiful village... a lovely place to go for walks, wonderful friendly locals, oh and the skiing on the slopes was only 5 minutes away from the apartment! Very handy indeed.
The apartment itself was very well equipped. 5 stars all round!
