Appartement de charme 4 personnes, Serre Chevalier 1400 m 3,WIFI

Couldn’t ask for a better location for access to the chair lifts and mountains, located in the lovely and quite old part of town.Hosts always responded promptly, everything was advertised correctly with no issues.

We had a fantastic stay in this lovely apartment for two weeks in March 24. We are a family of four including our two daughters in their twenties. The location of the apartment is Fantastic , a short walk to the ski slopes and a short walk to some lovely restaurants and bars. The Apartment is very well equipped and we arrived to a lovely clean apartment. Communication was excellent with the owner from the beginning of booking to the end of our stay. I would recommend this fabulous apartment and we will definitely be returning.

A few easy minutes to get to Aravet so ideal for skiing. This upside down apartment is located on the same level as the access road and two floors up on the back. You enter via a hall into an open plan kitchen/diner/lounge. This is fine for two people or two people plus two young kids, however there is only one (rather uncomfortable over time) sofa and a small tv. Combined with a large table that easily fits 6 people and space can get a little limited. TBH a smaller table and a normal sofa (not a sofa bed) would make more sense as six would be very tight. The bedrooms are on the floor below as well as the bathroom. Bedrooms are comfortable and the bathroom and shower are good (again a little tight for space). The overall finish is good and there are a few nice touches such as the very comfortable loungers on the balcony (we brought them in and used them instead of the sofa). The kitchen is a good spec and the WiFi is very quick (80/80 fibre). You can buy your bread in the very close Boulangerie (although not on Mondays for some reason), and the no.6 bus to Braincon is very handy for a better shopping experience at Leclerc (cheaper and lots to choose from). Communications with the owner and local cleaner area bit tricky as they don't speak much English. On the last night we were asked if we wanted to clean the apartment ourselves or pay 50 euros. This was a surprise as I don't think it had not been mentioned before. Overall a good choice for couples or smaller families.

Had a great weeks skiing in a well located homely apartment. Although capacity was for up to 6 people in practice 4 was comfortable. The apartment was well provisioned with ample crockery, pots, pans etc. Bed linen was extra as was cleaning. Comfortable beds and large powerful shower. Only thing missing was a microwave. Nice balcony with view over the valley. Did not use ski lockers as these were away from the apartment In a garage and a bit inconvenient with icy/snowy access. We instead paid €49 to store at rental shop. The apartment was up a narrow sloping road which when cold was slippery under foot. Keys to the apartment were available in the post box outside. The local and atmospheric bar the Le Petit Serre Che was 20 m away. Well worth a visit or two! Equally close was a patisserie and local produce shop. 10 mIn walk to supermarket and 50m to recycling point. Nearest lift (Aravet) was 10 minutes walk uphill after crossing road. Overall the apartment was well located and bijou. would use again.

Apartment worked really well for us even though initially we were a family of 6 (2 could only stay 3 nights). The main living area was an enchanting space with enough room to cook, play and relax and the kitchen area was close enough for everyone to be involved in whatever was happening. Kitchen very well equipped, bedrooms snug but, like the living area, enjoyed a great view over the valley and the heating and hot water all performed excellently. Having just one bathroom (with the only loo in it) did require a bit of tactical organisation in the mornings, but we managed. And car parking was no issue as there’s lots of spaces just below the apartment and everyone was very chilled about people unloading right outside the apartment (& totally blocking the single track lane) as it was the norm for all. Wonderful bakers immediately below and all shops less than 10 minutes walk. Ski lifts and ski hire, etc. all 5-8 minutes easy walk away, including an excellent independent hire shop (Jean Sport) that was really cooperative in letting some of us try out Telemark skis + boots and giving advice. Serre Chevalier is a uniquely friendly and relaxed resort and everyone we encountered just added to this overall feeling. We had a great time in spite of the Col du Lauteret being closed when we were trying to get there from the Grenoble direction and 4 of the party having their night train from Paris to Briancon cancelled by strikes 2 days before travel. We all had an amazing time and the apartment played a major role in this. The owners Thierry & Sylvie and their local contact Isabelle were all really helpful and very responsive when we needed them. Many thanks.
