Fab chalet. Staff not so fab.
Reviewed 3 Jun 2016
Chalet Tolima is a fabulous chalet with a really lovely, beautiful interior. The food and staff were good and the whole thing worked quite well. Its location is brilliant and the buses were excellent.
Not so pleased with the staff – communication was very poor when we were delayed due to tire checks on the coach journey in. The rep kept saying we were just around the corner, when 2 hours later we were still crawling up the mountain. No snacks or drinks were provided on the coach, so apart from a biscuit on the plane we had nothing to eat until we arrived at 1-2am! At the end of the week we accidentally left a pair of insoles in our snow boots. The chalet girl said she’d look for them immediately but didn’t. We called the rep who said they’d check but came back with nothing. Then I traced the ski shop myself and contacted them, and they found the insoles very quickly and easily. Overall the service was quite irritating!
Tolima good and bad
Reviewed 13 Oct 2014
Best points about our week would have to be Dan and Cath astounding chalet hosts! Tolima is a lovely chalet spacious and comfortable and well sited for the rapid bus transfer to lifts, or a pleasant walk if not in ski boots!
Downsides
Downstairs room with separate loo! You are part of the entrance walk way and the loo is not close and not kept for your use, so not good for privacy, annoying as had asked all the probing questions before hand! Don't book unless a good discount is offered.
Ski hire
The skimium crew used by the chalet are in a word atrocious
No better no cheaper just shop around anywhere else
Great Chalet
Reviewed 13 Oct 2014
Had a great week staying in Tolima in mid March. The chalet is lovely and although on the edge of town, access is easy to La Daille and Val D'isere even up to Le Fornet via the free bus running every 5mins in the day. Easy walking distance to the centre for après ski shops and dinner out. Hosts were great. Good wine. Try restaurant Signal above La Fornet for lunch. Good mix of people in chalet. Only downside was noise from the road in the night but that's if I have to think of something.
Excellent 5 star chalet
Reviewed 2 May 2014
We had a really good week, this was the first time we had stayed in a 5 star chalet and it’s definitely one of the best chalets we’ve stayed in. It was also the first time we’ve actually had a double bed in a chalet which was nice; overall the whole layout was very good.
The Tolima’s location made it very easy to get around, we weren’t in the centre of town but it was only a little walk away.
The food was really good and they were very flexible if you didn’t like something or wanted porridge in the mornings etc.
Large and laid back Espace Killy base
Reviewed 22 Jan 2014
Stylish and traditional in design and layout, it is a big chalet, spread out over three floors. The wood panels in contrast to the modern luxuries which accompany it, augment the chalet-chic looks, to create the homely and welcoming place that both we and our guests love. The bus stop is 30 seconds round the corner and you’ll be on the piste within five minutes, making this a sought after location. After a good day on the hill, either walk the short ten minutes to the village centre to check out the après ski, or simply unwind on the balcony off the open-plan living room with a glass of wine. The choice is up to you!
Great if you're outward looking
Reviewed 22 Jan 2014
I loved the big balconies around the chalet with amazing views looking at the surrounding mountains. The rooms and en suites seem a bit outdated and old fashioned, but could also be said to be sticking to its traditional theme, different strokes for different folks? Overall I'd say this is a very cosy holiday base - we loved being in the living area where you can enjoy each other’s company. It's all about the vistas and would probably suit anyone who's happy being more outward looking (not for those wanting boutique chic).
