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, modern and perfectly well equipped apartment, it was even better than expected! Nice large couch. We used the low terrace chairs inside so that we had a comfortable reading chair for everyone. Perfect location, ski out/ski in. Enough space for 6 adults (the cabin was of course a little small for 2 almost 2m tall guys... but they knew on forehand and slept well). We loved our stay here. Communication with owner was good.
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.
rental as advertised, no unpleasant surprises. Clean, well-equipped and functional rental. Owner attentive, available and responsive.
location conforme à l'annonce, pas de désagréable surprise.
Location propre, bien équipée et fonctionnelle.
Propriétaire à l'écoute, disponible et réactif.
Apartment redone with great taste in December 2023. Very well designed and extremely well equipped. Ideal for 4 with a bedroom and bunk beds equipped with reading lights. The building is very well maintained. The elevators work perfectly: no waiting to reach the apartment. Super well equipped ski locker for storing shoes and skis. And of course ski-in/ski-out access. For those who have young children, the pioupious are just at the bottom of the building.
Appartement refait avec beaucoup de goût en décembre 2023. Très bien conçu et excessivement bien équipé. Idéal pour 4 avec une chambre et les lits superposés équipés de liseuses.
L'immeuble est très bien entretenu. Les ascenseurs fonctionnent à merveille : aucune attente pour rejoindre l'appartement. Casier à ski super bien équipé pour ranger les chaussures et les skis. Et bien entendu accès skis aux pieds.
Pour ceux qui ont des jeunes enfants les pioupious sont juste en bas de L'immeuble.
Magnificent apartment renovated in a chalet style. Ideal location at the foot of the slopes, charming and accommodating owner. In short, I highly recommend, I will definitely return
Magnifique appartement refait façon chalet. Emplacement idéal au pied des pistes, propriétaire charmant et arrangeant.
Bref, je recommande fortement, j'y retournerai à coup sûr
The lighting in the living room and mezzanine is a little poor. The apartment is very pleasant and well located. The availability and responsiveness of the owners should also be highlighted. Excellent stay.
L’éclairage au niveau du salon et de la mezzanine est un peu juste.
L’appartement est très agréable et bien situé.
La disponibilité et la réactivité des propriétaires sont à souligner également.
Excellent séjour.
The apartment was not very clean on our arrival. There was dust everywhere and the floor was dirty. Exactly as if it had not been cleaned after the previous rental. Furthermore, the apartment met our needs.
Het appartement was niet heel proper bij onze aankomst.
Er lag overal stof en de vloer was vuil. Precies of er was niet gekuist na de vorige verhuur.
Verder voldeed het appartement aan onze wensen.
Particularly helpful, pleasant and responsive owners, apartment really well located at the foot of the slopes, spacious, cozy, furnished with care, very well equipped, corresponds in all respects to the announcement. I highly recommend. Maxim C.

Very spacious and well equipped rental, welcoming and helpful owners. The location is excellent especially with young children. There were 9 of us and the duplex space was perfect
Location très spacieuse et bien équipée, propriétaires accueillants et serviables. La situation est excellente en particulier avec de jeunes enfants. Nous étions 9 et l’espace en duplex était parfait
Great location, very clean and the hospitality of Florence great too. Nothing to say about this rental at the top. Thank you and I hope to see you soon
Super location , très propre et l'accueil de Florence super aussi. Rien à dire sur cette location au top . Merci à vous et j'espere à bientôt
A wonderful apartment, we came there for the fourth time. Spacious, very well equipped, close to shops and ski school. Ski in and ski out. Pleasant contact with the landlady. A nice large sofa where you can sit and read with 4 people. Because there were six of us, we had brought 2 folding chairs ourselves.
Een heerlijk appartement, we kwamen er nu al voor de vierde keer.
Ruim, heel goed geoutilleerd, dichtbij winkels en skischool. Ski-in en ski- out. Prettig contact met de verhuurster.
Een fijne grote zitbank waar je met 4 personen lekker op kunt zitten lezen. Omdat wij met ons zessen waren hadden we nog wel zelf 2 opklapstoelen meegenomen.
