We have enjoyed our stay at this nicely renovated chalet. The central fire place in the big living room with high ceiling and view on the mountain is impressive and made everybody feel immediately at home. The kitchen is well equipped as well as the bathrooms. Tamsin is a great host and very helpful with everything. The ski station of St Foy is very suitable for families with small children. To summarize: we had a great vacation and will certainly return. Martine

Compared with most French ski resort accommodation this apartment is huge! Space for your stuff, really comfortable beds, two bathrooms, two bedrooms and expansion space if there are more than four of you – plus room for you all to sit around the fire in the evenings. The apartment is part of a recently (and very well) converted barn in a mountain village near Ste Foy ski station. This is an excellent base for family ski-ing and the length and quality of the pistes are first-rate, and also give access to lots of good off-piste ski-ing. If you want to spend quite a lot more money on a lift pass, then it’s easy to catch the bus up to Val d’Isère and Tignes for some of the best French high alp ski-ing. The apartment is also a short drive or bus ride down the valley to Bourg St Maurice, which gives access to the Les Arcs /La Plagne ski system, and where the shops and restaurants charge sensible prices – important when you are self-catering. We stayed here in late spring as well – the river Isère flows below, down a wild-flower strewn meadow and there is a garden for barbecues and sunbathing. There are woodland walks straight out of the house.

I've stayed here several times - a recommendation in itself. The apartment is the ground floor of a beautifully renovated traditional stone building, with lots more space than you usually find in ski resorts. The living area is comfortable & cosy, with a very efficient wood-burner (easy to use, too). There's an extremely well-equipped kitchen area, and both the bathrooms have baths as well as good showers. There's also a nice little garden - snowbaling in winter, barbeques in summer. Everything is clean, well maintained & well thought out. Tamsin & Hamish are great hosts - friendly without being intrusive, and really knowledgable about the local area. (And, for a proper treat, try Tamsin's cooking.) Ste Foy is a real gem - beautiful scenery, good slopes for beginners, & you can ski down through the woods. There's a free bus service from just over the road from the apartment. This is a really relaxed & relaxing place to stay - absolutely ideal for families or for anyone who wants to get away from the bustle of Val d'Isere.

Whether you're partaking in snow sports or just visiting the area as we were this apartment has everything. It has the best of olde worlde character and modern up-to-date equipment and furnishings. The main bedroom is large with a wonderfully comfortable king-sized double bed (and extra beds for kids if needed). The ensuite has lovely underfloor heating, a useable bath for once and a powerful shower. There is another bathroom next to the second double bedroom with similar facilities. We especially loved the comfie open-plan living area where the four of us (two couples) spent many happy hours cooking, eating, chatting, enjoying the view and changing weather on the mountain-side opposite, watching some of the many DVDs provided, and feeding the efficient wood-burning stove which we loved. The wifi was very useful too. We're not sporty but believe this area has efficient/free links to many ski slopes and resorts which we did visit and enjoyd a few meals out.
