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!!!
Very nice apartment, directly acces to the slopes. Balcony to the south.
The kitchen was very well equiped, with lots of stuff you need.
Enough space for 6 adults.
Supermarket and rent for ski's just outside the apartment.
We enjoyed staying here!
We were 5 youngsters and 2 adults that had a wonderfull sommer vacation in Tignes. The apartment is very nice with lots of space where everything just works - also wifi. It has a excellent location towards all the sommer activities and we can highly recommend this apartment.
Really nice apartment in traditional Savoire style. Exceptionally well equipped with just about everything you could think of. Close to town and slopes. Free parking on road outside. Very comfortable.
Stayed here for 1 week with friends. Perfect size for 7/8 people. 5 minutes walk from the town centre and even closer to the slopes. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of pot and pans so we could make some great meals. Would definitely visit again.
Delighted with this rental that we are keeping in our favorites. Very good contact with the owner who is very attentive. Very well thought out and functional apartment. Very complete equipment. Good bedding.
Ravi de cette location que nous conservons dans nos favoris. Très bon contact avec la propriétaire qui est très à l'écoute.
Appartement très bien pensé et fonctionnel.
Équipements très complets.
Bonne literie.
The apartment is pleasant, very well equipped and in perfect condition. Sunny balcony with mountain views. Located very close to the slopes, restaurants, shops... In short, highly recommended. Very fluid communication with the owners and very friendly welcome on site. We would love to come back!
L'appartement est agréable, très bien équipé et en parfait état. Balcon ensoleillé avec vue sur la montagne. Situé tout près des pistes, restaurants, commerces.. Bref, fortement recommandé.
Communication très fluide avec les propriétaires et accueil très sympa sur place. Nous aimerions revenir !
The apartment, with a beautiful sunny terrace, is very well equipped and very well maintained. Ideally located close to the ski slopes, shops, restaurants... The reception by the person responsible on site was very warm. Very smooth communication with the owners. We would love to come back.
Het appartement ,met mooi zonnig terras, is zeer goed uitgerust en heel goed onderhouden . Ideaal gelegen t.o.v. de skipistes , winkels , restaurants ... De ontvangst door de verantwoordelijke ter plaatse was zeer hartelijk . Zeer vlotte communicatie met de eigenaars . Wij komen graag terug .
The kitchen is relatively small for accommodation designed for 12 people. The chalet is not really close to the ski lifts which take you to the Arrondaz plateau (departure from the ski schools and the Piou Piou club). When there are young children with the shoes and equipment it is a bit complicated. We discovered at the end of the stay that there was a free locker in the village to drop off equipment at the end of the day. It might be interesting to point this out in the advert, it can be very useful when there are children. The return to the chalet will be made easier.
La cuisine est relativement petite pour un logement prévu pour 12 personnes. Le chalet n'est pas vraiment proche des remontées mécaniques qui permettent de monter au plateau d'Arrondaz (départ des écoles de ski et du club Piou Piou). Quand il y a de jeunes enfants avec les chaussures et le matériel cela est un peu compliqué. Nous avons découvert à la fin du séjour qu'il y avait dans le village une consigne gratuite pour déposer le matériel en fin de journée. Il serait peut-être intéressant de le signaler dans l'annonce, cela peut être très utile quand il y a des enfants. La remontée vers le chalet en sera facilitée..
very warm welcome; great gîte; general equipment and impeccable cleanliness;; very satisfactory culinary equipment and crockery (I was just missing a spatula, but that's a detail) two regrets: 1 bathroom for 8 you really have to be very organized no ventilation in the mezzanine area but I would recommend this rental without any problem; thank you Mrs G.
accueil très chaleureux ;
super gîte ; équipement général et propreté impeccables ;;
équipement culinaire et vaisselle très satisfaisant ( il m'a juste manqué une maryse , mais c'est un détail )
deux regrets : 1 salle de bain pour 8 il faut vraiment être très organisés
pas d'aération dans la partie mezzanine
mais le recommanderai ++ sans problème cette location ; merci Mme G.
We had a very pleasant stay in this extremely well-equipped apartment which was completely as advertised. There were six of us and we were very comfortable. The owner is very attentive and kindly answered all my questions about the apartment as well as the resort. We will gladly come back !
