Great place close to the ski lift (less than 10min walk) and also near a lot of the usual amenities needed (supermarket, open market, stores, everything at an easy reach). We were 2 families with kids and it was a great star and the host was always supportive to provide assistance whenever we asked. Would definitely come back to stay there again.

Very nice accommodation very comfortable and comfortable to live in, we were 8 people. Very nice view from the terrace and Serroz district well located both close to the center but a little far for calm. Nickel welcome and responsive and sypathic hosts. Everything was perfect. Small note for car access to the parking lot a little difficult (but we end up getting away with it anyway) and the wifi is very low. We would not hesitate to recommend it or go back if we have a chance.

Pretty 3rd floor on the ground floor "The Chalet of the Marmots"

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 46 reviews1 month ago

We stayed in Magali's apartment in the end of March. Good snow! Also due to the high altitude of the resort. The apartment is well equipped. It's not luxurious but it has all the comforts you need, like a dishwasher, nice dark curtains and good heaters. No WiFi, even better! Magali was a very nice, responsive host. We once had a question about the hot water and she quickly responded. Hot water runs out pretty quickly, you can shower for 6-8 mins each if you are with 3 persons. Ideal for a family with children. We were with 3 friends, also absolutely fine. Just know that the mattresses in the kids room are not great. The apartment is really close to the slope (red slope), like 2 minutes of walking. So nice to be able to pass the house easily for a quiet, cheap lunch or to change some clothes. Puy Saint Vincent was a very nice, big ski resort with lots to do. We had fun in the bar and discotheque in Puy 1600 too :) At walking distance, +- 15 mins. Much recommended holiday alltoghether!

Superb renovated apartment in 3* residence.

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviews1 month ago

We had a pleasant stay. The description is compliant, no unpleasant surprises. Ideal for a family of 4 with 2 children. Very well arranged, we had enough spaces for everyone, the mountain corner is a small but sufficient room for children it is not sleeping in a hallway. Well-equipped kitchen and necessary for cleaning present. The apartment is conveniently located, ski departure possible even for a family with young children who are starting. The return can also be by ski or by shuttle (be careful even outside the holiday period rotations are restricted). It snowed every day of our stay, it didn't bother us as we enjoyed great snow and powder. We were able to toboggan right in front of the apartment which is very appreciable with the children and make many snowmen. Esf nearby at 1800 or 1600 excluding holidays. We will be back!

Marie-Gabrielle's place has only positive points. Functional, clean, spacious.. and a beautiful garden flooded with birdsong! Very well located in relation to the center of Embrun and the body of water, the neighborhood is in addition to the most relaxing calm. And how not to finish this review without mentioning Marie-Gabrielle's extreme hospitality, her little touches, and her immediate responsiveness to meet our needs. My three year old son feasted in the trampoline… and I was too. I would highly recommend. Thank you for a beautiful week Marie-Gabrielle!

We had a great time at Mylène's place. The apartment is well equipped, very bright and pleasant (big plus: the bed is super comfortable). It is ideally located, less than 5 min walk to the slopes and close to all shops (supermarket, bakery, butcher, equipment rental, restaurants and bars...). A spacious cellar is available to store ski equipment. A big thank you Mylène for your welcome, we'll be happy to come back!
