About William Pinsent

My wife (Thai) and I (British) are semi retired and now divide our time between homes in Phuket, Thailand (our previous home/business base) and now, chasing the snow, in Big Sky Montana and Farellones, Chile.

William Pinsent purchased this apartment in 2002
Why William Pinsent chose Farellones

After several year of searching Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Chile for the best Southern hemisphere resort to build a vacation / retirement home (based upon quality of skiing, reliability of snow, access to shopping and services etc) we eventually decided upon Farellones at the end of the the 2001 ski season. Since Farellones filled all of our requirements, save for availability of attractive property to purchase, we bough land, hired and architect and did this the hard (but rewarding) way.

What makes this apartment unique

The huge open spaces, the uncrowded ski area. Total peace and relaxation. All home comforts brought to a relatively simple and underdeveloped area. The Snow. The Sun. Sitting in the hot tub watching the Condors circling on the thermals as the sun sets over Santiago.

Review Submitted: 13 July 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
We stayed in early July and had a great time. The house is fully stocked - all you need is ski gear and food/drink. William is a great host and once he showed us the path to the resort (so you dont have to drive) we never touched our car again so get him to show you the route on day 1!!!

Review Submitted: 15 September 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We went to casa farellones lower appartment in the beginnig of september 09.

We had a great experience because of all itens included in the appartament and kitchen stuff.

The skis resorts are very good (good snow and variety of pistes and off-pists) and we advise you to shop every food and drink in Santiago and also hire a 4x4 car.

The jacuzzi with wine was also very recommended!
