We have just spent a week in the chalet at this beautiful resort and could not fault our stay. Our hosts Mario and Charley were so fantastic. Helpful, friendly, professional and fantastic chefs - the food was sensational. The standard of the chalet was true to the description and photos on the internet - very comfortable and welcoming. Although the chalet is not located right in the middle of the town centre, it is easily accessed by the free shuttle bus which runs regularly until the early hours in the morning. All in all it has been a wonderful holiday and we will hopefully be back soon!

The chalet is very nice and spacious, there’s a really nice living area where you sit down and eat. Even though there were 12-15 people there it never felt crowded. It’s all quite traditional with a wood burner which was lovely. There was a TV and DVD player but they weren’t used at all during the week because we had such good company. There were also resources and stuff like maps and you had internet access which was great. The rooms were good and always warm and there was plenty of storage for skis and snowboards. It will be a shame if the couple we had as hosts weren’t there next season as they were amazing. The food was unreal and there was always snacks and teas if you wanted them. We had a cooked breakfast option every morning with porridge if you wanted it, cereal, fruit juices etc. You’re literally 20 metres to the lift and 25 metres to the bus stop if you want to get around that way. It’s also less than 5 minutes into Val proper where you can choose from as many lifts as you like. If you timed it right you could ski within 20 metres, not the nicest run in the world but not a bad ski.

This is a modern take on an old fashioned look. From exposed stone on the outside, to high beams of aged wood on the inside, it is naturally light. Warmth is brought to the fore by the inviting open hearth, an idyllic resting place with a drink and friendly conversation at close of day. Ski in via the blue Taversee du Laisinant which can also take you to the main town, or waltz just 50m to the Laisinant Express lift. For non-skiers, the walk to town is less than a kilometre, or for a less strenuous trip, jump on the bus, located barely 80m from your doorstep.

You can really tell that this Chalet is newly refurbished. The rooms are light and airy with beautiful en suites which really makes a difference when you're on a physically active holiday. There is a family room which is spacious too. The open living/dining area is very comfortable and the chalet is set in a great location looking right out at the piste where you can ski into if you're not a beginner. Comparing with everything else in the same resort, I thought this was the best for the price. Val Disere isn't cheap but its such a great ski area and even the best among us couldn't ski-out the whole Espace Killy in a week. Its more classy than Tignes but seems to have less cheap-seats so its hard to stay here on a tight budget... maybe they prefer it that way? Top tips if you want to do some of the more famous bits of this legend among mountain towns: - a higher intermediate or advance is to have a go at the "Face" which is the famous world cup slope - do après ski at the Folie Douce but leave dancing-on-tables-in-ski-boots to the young and the sozzled - have a yankee-style burger in the Quicksilver/Roxy shop (yum)

Val d’Isere was amazing and the actual chalet was lovely but the chalet staff were appalling! The staff needed to be properly managed – two stroppy 19 year old boys. The food was rubbish and the cake inedible. I booked last minute and got the holiday half price but a lot of the other guests had paid more than me and none of us got what we paid for at all. I’d give the actual chalet 4 out of 5 but the staff were shocking and deserve a 0.

Update: The chalet has changed the staff from winter 2013/2014 onwards.
