Location is fantastic as a cycling base even for mixed abilities. There is quick access to the river cycle path for those after a more leisurely time - though if you do the full length of it can in fact be considered quite a tough ride if you push on, and seemingly endless big climbs within 15km of the front door. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, everything you could need to feed a large group & plenty of storage & big fridge. The 2 beds we used were both comfy, the bathrooms very clean on arrival & very much appreciated that some basics were included in both kitchen (essential salt, pepper & oil all in the cupboard - annoying to have to buy on arrival at self catered places when you won't need much in a week or so) and bathroom (handwash & soap). Fast fiber (I think) internet a real plus as we were on an extended stay and able to get some work done too, not always the case in mountain stays.

Aime itself was surprisingly closed for peak summer holidays, with irregular restaurant opening times - only once we found the local pizza restaurant open, had to use their vending machine (yes, a pizza vending machine!) whilst one of the few other 'open' restaurants only seemed to open some nights & was full on those (unsurprisingly). Bourg saint maurice is only a short drive, and we ended up going there to eat out instead. Could definitely do with some non-stick pans for cooking, the stainless steel ones look good but pretty much everything sticks to them unless you are extremely attentive!
