Due to a canalisation problem, one bedroom with four beds couldnât be used. Even with the room closed the whole apartment smelled of toilets. The owner unilaterally decided to reimburse 10% of the rent (but we lost half of the beds) The apartment is old, not well furnished and the old owner is a pain to deal with. There are so many other options avoid this owner.
We were obviously not as impressed with this apartment as some other guests.The location is fine but the lift it is close to is just a service lift that gives you access to the main lift.There is no welcome pack or nice touches to get you started, just whatever has been left by previous guests. Be aware, bed linen and towels are not included so you need to sort that out.It was OK for two adults and two teenagers but the bedroom with four bunks is just a narrow rectangle and not really a pleasant space to be in. I just cannot imagine what this apartment woud be like for 8 people. I would suggest 6 is more than enough and even then 4 of them would be in bunks.Bathroom and toilet are dated and typically french with no handbasin in the toilet.Kitchen, dining and living area are modern, well equipped and very nice.There is no facility to play music and there are no international TV channels, just french. Good selection of board games available.Overall, we had a good holiday and the apartment served its ourpose but we would no rebook.gives you rises
This apartment block would be described in most places as "ski-in, ski-out", having a quick 100m skiable track to the nearest lift (Petit Moriond) from the door of the ski locker room. Overall, it takes about 20 minutes to get to the top of the Ariondaz lift, where the area's skiing really starts.
The apartment itself is quiet with thick walls providing plenty of sound insulation from any neighbours and the location is generally quiet.
The furnishings in the apartment are generally good and plentiful and the "corridor bunk room" is surprisingly spacious having its own space besides the beds and not impinging upon the main corridor at all.
Courchevel 1650 is a quiet village with limited apres-ski options. Prices are relatively expensive but considerably lower than in Courchevel 1850 which is a short bus ride (or 30 minute ski) away. The supermarket, bakery, bars and restaurants start from about 2 minutes walk from the apartment block, with various ski-hire, lift passes and the direct entrance to the Ariondaz lift being about 5 minutes walk.
Perfect size for a family of five (ages 11, 8 and 6), with one twin room, a bunk-bed room with 4 bunks and a 'corridor room' with 2 bunks.
Short walk / ski to a lift for access to the slopes and a short walk (< 5 mins) to the village amenities.
Would recommend.
Just returned from a week family of 6 ski holiday, staying and that apartment and wish we were still there!!!
From the outset Mr Guillard was very helpful and accommodating with the booking, even finding us with alternative parking due to the size of our vehicle. Louisa the Caretaker was very helpful and couldn't do enough to help.
The apartment was excellent in both location and the furnishings/equipment provided. There was always plenty of hot water and the heating was at comfortable temperature at all times.
The ski/boot room was secure and easy to use with quick access to the Petit Moriond lift meaning that you were on the main ski runs in no time at all and with little fuss.
A decent sized supermarket for ski resort only 100m from the apartment and a bakery only a little further on. Had everything your needed for a great holiday.
Highly Recommended
