Villard-Notre-Dame Trip

The staff were helpful and the facilities were good at the property, ski in ski out, raclette to hire also thank you so much to the ladies and Charles at the other Azureva (Les confin) for sorting out our ski hire and making renting very smooth for us, great attention to detail. There were however a few niggles about the location which is voted great on Expedia but…it’s not if you don’t have a car or you’re a non skier. There is no local shop/supermarket/bakery without having to an endure a 25/30 minute walk or get a bus of which were very infrequent (every 1.5 hours) and stop service at 6.45pm, so you can’t even go for dinner in the town really unless you’re happy to walk back up. The propert itself was OK, really HOT to sleep in and no air con. It felt really small too for 6 people, we are fortunately a family but you could not do this with friends. The lights in the communal areas of the property were timed and this was REALLY annoying when you were getting ski’s on/putting them back - you ended up in pitch black, rummaging around for the light switch. In general; if we did return we would stay in the village.

Staff, room and facilities were all exceptional. Only drawback is lacking A/C if you are visiting in summer time; or I should say in exceptionally hot summers! Other than that the staff tried all the best to assist us moving into a more cooler and spacious room.

Great location for the Bossonet lifts and easy walk into the village. This was my first stay in the apartments of the complex (rather than the hotel). The 2 bed apartment was functional and clean, albeit could do with some updating to provide more comfort. Having said that I would stay again, due to the overall ambience and convenience. Free and secure underground car parking was very useful.
