We are skiing in France for the last 10 years or so, and have been renting similar studios. The convenience of the ski-in / ski-out that Aurore’s studio offers is hard to beat. You will be hard pressed to find a better set-up. The communication always prompt, and Aurore is always happy to advice on things whenever needed.
The appartment situated in Meribel Mottaret was excellent, very clean, and even with more features than described. The heated ski chamber situated at the entrance of the chalet was very helpful. The host was very supportive, answered immediately to our messages, and gave us exact indications. No WIFI. We would come back any time.
Good location. Property as advertised. We stayed as 4 adults and 2 small children and we were comfortable. Hélène was easy to deal with and always super helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Thanks
Absolutely fantastic location, we travelled by train from Geneva and owner was very helpful to advise on journey. Apartment is very spacious and so so close to main gondola and street with shops and restaurants. Everything was just walking distance. Apartment has some beautiful views. We would definitely recommend to any friends. I am trying to think about some unconvinience and only what I would change is maybe larger sofa in living room.
Every now and then you get lucky and find an amazing home-from-home rental accommodation. Trust me, this is one of those 5* gems! Where do I start?
Clearly Marc & Patricia have put an enormous amount of thought and effort into making this chalet a home with everything you could possibly want. I believe this chalet was recently renovated during 2021 and so everything feels new.
The kitchen is truly well equipped…plenty of large and small plates, bowls, cutlery, glasses (both wine glasses and flutes, tumblers and pint glasses), mugs, cups, cooking utensils, pots and pans, to cater for ‘WELL OVER’ 12 people (we were 8, so plenty to spare). There is a dishwasher and also both a Fondue and Raclette set for those adventurous cooks, oh….and a sandwich toaster. Also provided is a Nespresso machine…we took our coffee pods but I believe you can buy pods in Tignes Le Lac if you forget to take your own. Our favourite kitchen device however was the table top ice maker…. perfect for that G&T after a hard day on the slopes!
The chalet has 4 large bedrooms all with en-suite with plenty of storage space. The beds were very comfortable. Three of the bedrooms have additional beds - two of those bedrooms having slightly smaller mattresses large enough for say a 13/14 year old depending on their height.
The lounge has plenty of comfortable seating and a huge dining table overlooking the enormous outside terrace and the beautiful views across the lake to Val Claret and the mountain beyond. The lounge has an open fire and plenty of wood to burn is supplied. The lounge also has a Bluetooth speaker to connect your own devices to (we hard wired our mobile phones as we couldn’t figure out the Bluetooth connection after a few glasses of wine!! Likely it was the wine which affected our senses than the speaker itself, so I’m sure anyone that’s tech savvy would be able to figure it out and if not, Marc is always available to help!). The lounge is also equipped with a smart TV and DVD and also has the ability to connect up a laptop.
The outside terrace is huge and we were lucky enough to bask in glorious sunshine for 4 days out of the 6 when we returned from the slopes. There is an outside BBQ (gas I think) and Wood Burner that unfortunately we didn’t get to try, but great as an option should you wish to use them.
There is plenty of WIFI throughout the chalet and not once did anyone moan about poor connectivity….not even when all 8 of us were on our devices!!
The chalet has it’s own private cinema room and sauna (for use solely by the occupants of this chalet…i.e. not shared with anyone) – additional towels are provided for the sauna. The cinema room has great surround-sound and you can connect to pretty much anything…Apple TV, Netflix, Prime, Disney, your own laptop and there are plenty of DVDs to choose from in the chalet should you not want to bring your own.
The chalet has its own private (not shared) boot warmer and ski rack, enough for at least 12 sets, conveniently positioned inside the chalet by the front door.
The owners Marc and Patricia are extremely welcoming and friendly. They are very close by should you need anything. Should you arrive in Tignes early before check-in or leave Tignes later after check-out, they will try and be as flexible as possible but if it’s not possible you can safely store your luggage in Marc and Patricia’s locked garage and head into town.
The walk into town where the ski schools meet takes no more than 5 minutes. Here you’ll also find a great supermarket with plenty of choice as well as plenty of restaurants nearby (I suggest you book 3-4 days in advance in peak season).
Thank you again Marc and Patricia!!!! Hopefully we’ll be back!!!
We loved staying here as it is so close to the ski slopes and all the amenities that Chamonix town has to offer and we will be back next year, for sure :-)
This was a very comfortable apartment with wonderful views and conveniently placed. It had all the modern comforts we required.
The only slight difficulties for us were the translation of French instructions into English, the transfer of euros and perhaps needing to have more explained to us on arrival, such as the directions to the pool and how to find the internet password. ( we should have worked harder at our French language studies at school I suppose.) It was a very quick introduction when we arrived.
We would be very happy to rent this apartment again and the owners were very helpful with the initial booking.
Chalet apartment Les Saisies 4 to 6 people Rental Villard-sur-Doron, to approx. 2.5 mi from Les Saisies - Savoie - Rhone-Alps
We spent a lovely week in Montgenevre with friends skiing. Four of us stayed in this apartment. It was even better than described and was very well equipped. The owner met us on arrival and was so welcoming and helpful. He even left us a fruit tart and box of chocolates, so kind. The location of the apartment was brilliant. Slopes were only about 50-70 metres away , supermarket was next door and plenty of restaurants nearby. Perfect! Would definitely recommend.
Not five star comfort but this is a good value, good house. 11 of us spent a very happy week there. The beds were comfortable and the house was warm and cosy. Everything worked. TA bonus was the free supply of firewood for the excellent wood burning fire in the living room.
The owner is not always the quickest at replying to e-mail and we used English/French Google Translate as an aid to communication but overall Olivier is OK to deal with.
We would be very happy to stay there again.
Excellent and very clean property in a convenient location. We hope to be able to stay again next year!
All communications with the owner were handled very courteously and with the utmost efficiency.
Very good location, close to centre of Morzine and Lift. Good parking. If there was enough snow would have ski in ski out. Bedrooms small but adequate. Could do with 2 single duvets if using single beds. Very well equipped kitchen. Owners always ready to answer questions promptly. Lounge comfy with games and books etc.
We spent a great week in Montgenevre. A great resort for all abilities. The apartment was large and comfortable for our party of 3 adults and 3 children. It was fantastic to look out directly onto the sunny nursery slopes and mountains and a pleasure to have a very short walk to ski school. Carina was very easy to contact prior to our stay. We are looking forward to returning again.
we arrived later than expected but the owner made sure we knew exactly which one was ours as notes were left for us! and the owner Mrs Neyraud got up to welcome us. Very friendly and welcoming. The apartment itself was clean and tidy with all the equipment needed for a comfortable stay. We went for a bigger apartment as we are a family of 5. It gave us loads of room and everyone has decent beds. The pull out sofa took 5 seconds to put up and down - fantastic, and comfortable to boot. Parking immediately outside and the Diable chairlift 5 mins walk. Would recommend
this place to anyone.
Excellent situated I the very center of Val d'Isere close to every thing.
Beautiful totaly renovated.
Only wish to have is wifi.
Do not hesitate to rent this apartment.
A pleasant spartan studio with what you need for a week of ski holidays. Super close to ski lifts. Ski equipment lockers on premises. Depending on your internet equipment, if the owner's WiFi doesn't work, you may need to purchase a local WiFI service, which is about 30 eur/ week, not bad.
The apartment was spacious and well equipped. We made good use of the oven. The large balcony has a lovely view of the mountains.
The ski lift is near to take you to the top of the signal and we could ski back down.
The owner is very helpful answering my questions before arrival. We had a lovely week
