Absolutely brilliant
Reviewed By StuInSuttonWhat can I say beyond the title? Welcoming, well equipped, clean, lovely, worth staying at. This is our second visit here and will not be our last. Beautiful Gites in a wonderful setting. Owners who could not be more welcoming. Pool, small playground and space for the kids to run around. The location. Is beautiful, quiet and relaxed. It is a bit of a drive to get to anywhere but that is the trade off for the peace and quiet. As a valid point, we have been before, we have come back and we WILL be back again. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Magical!
Reviewed By jennylanebWe stayed at Les Cimes Du Valgo for 4 nights with our two young children and we had an amazing time. We actually planed for 2 nights, but kept adding more days! Our apartment was clean and spacious with a beautiful view of mountains from every window. We went on hikes daily with recommendations from Elody. The pool was a refreshing break from all our exploring. We had a wonderful stay and would love to return to this special place.

great food in stunning surrounding
Reviewed By elthamA day out from Nice in the Gorges de la Veusbie, en route for the Madone d'Utelle, we were delighted to find a well-run restaurant with a wide range of food from snacks, to light meals to three course meals. I had an excellent mushroom omelette, my wife a tomato salad, with freshly squeezed orange joice. Very friendly with an amazing view. Very clean, highly recommended.

8. CGH La Grange Aux Fees

CGH QUALITY IS SADLY IN DECLINE
Reviewed By davmorgan0CGH VALMOREL We stayed in the CGH residence La Grange aux Fees in Valmorel from January 18 to 25, and have the following comments. CHECK IN We arrived about an hour before official check in time. We were told that the keys would be placed in a Welcome envelope and left in a pigeon hole to collect once the apartment had been cleaned and signed off. We waited in reception for about an hour and collected the envelope with the keys as advised by the reception staff. APARTMENT When we went to the apartment we found that the fridge was broken and dirty with missing racks and bottle holder (see image), the bin had not been cleaned (see image) and one of the tea towels was mouldy. Just then, the manageress came to the apartment and expressed surprise that we had been allowed into the apartment. Her manner was unpleasant, as if we had done something wrong. She then appeared to have a heated discussion with the reception staff. She asked us to leave the apartment and wait in reception while cleaning was completed. She also agreed to get the technician to replace the broken fridge. After about 1/2 hour we were allowed back. We found that the Nespresso machine had not been emptied of dead capsules and water (see image), the drawers had bits of paper and dried breadcrumbs left in them (see image), the sofa bed had not been fully closed, and the bed presentation was well below standard (see image). We also discovered that there was no plug socket for one of the two bedside lights (see image). The technician called Jean came later and removed the broken fridge, but apologised that the replacement was from the staff room and had a broken light and bottle tray held together with gaffer tape (see image). Replacement of the fridge took another hour during our first evening so we could not cook a meal until about 2000 despite having had a long car journey from the UK. He said he would return the next day with a bulb for the fridge and an extension cable for the bedside light. He did do this, although the extension lead only made it possible to have one or other of the bedside lights on simultaneously. We have great praise for him, as he was friendly, apologetic and just doing his job. ACCESS AND PARKING Access to the residence is through a public car park, with an automatic ticket barrier. Although we had paid for a garage space in the residence, we were not given a pass for the car park barriers at check in. Consequently we were unable to get our car out one day, and had to wait until reception opened at 4pm to get a pass, which disrupted our plans. This could be very dangerous if someone needed to leave the resort in an emergency. Also, there is no internal access from the garage to the apartments, necessitating using two sets of coded access doors. This is very unusual in such residences, and makes it very hard to load and unload luggage between the car and the apartment. GENERAL ISSUES We have stayed in nine CGH Residences since 2006 (see below), including La Grange aux Fees in 2015. We have also stayed in apartments operated by MGM, MMV, Pierre et Vacances, Les Balcons, Alparena and others during the same period. The following comments are based on comparison with these apartments. In many cases the apartments are cheaper than CGH for a similar apartment for the same week. We can give examples having also used MMV in Sainte Foy and Alparena in La Rosière this year. Poor bed presentation (compared with CGH brochure images and other operators) Cheap towels (compared with other operators) Pillowcases not fitting pillows (compared with other CGH and operators) Small pillows (compared with other operators) Twin beds side by side for use as double, but with single bedding (compared to other operators who fit proper double bedding) No cushions on bed or sofa (compared with CGH brochure images and other operators) WC in huge space with no washbasin (see image). Very unhygienic especially since apartment sleeps 6 (compared with other operators) Oven at considerable height with bottom hinged door (see image). Only accessible safely by someone over 2m in height (compared with other operators) Minimal toiletries provided (compared with other CGH and operators) Only 2 wifi connections provided for up to 6 people, with re-login required each day (compared with other operators) Only 2 sets of towels provided despite paying full price for 4/6 person apartment (compared with other operators) No safe provided for valuables (compared with other operators) No vacuum cleaner provided (although on the inventory, compared with other CGH and operators) TV small and without English channels (some operators provide Smart TVs and access to English channels.) Heating set to go off mid evening leaving apartment cold (compared with other operators) Inventory provided and checked but no action (most other operators seem to have dispensed with the inventory) Garage not accessible internally from apartments (compared with other CGH and operators) We have stayed in the following CGH Residences since 2006: La Rosière (2 different ones) Sainte Foy (2 different ones) Champagny Peisey-Vallandry Chatel Grand Bornand Valmorel Les Carroz Les Houches Les Saisies We originally chose to stay in CGH residences because of the high standard of the accommodation and service. Over the years we have noticed a severe decline in these standards, such that other apartment operators are now providing better quality than CGH, often at a lower cost.

The perfect place to stay and such good value
Reviewed By Returningfromhols22We have just enjoyed the perfect week away at Frond de Neige, a holiday that was cancelled twice due to covid, but was 100% worth the wait! We were already familiar with dining at La Cendree, the restaurant bar linked to Frond de Neige, and adjacent to the ESF school, so we felt confident that we would enjoy our stay but we can easily say that it far exceeded our expectations! As a family of four, we had a two bedroom very roomy apartment with a view of the pleney and the town. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had so much storage that we could easily have moved in. The kitchenette was well equipped although prefer to recommend the room service if you don’t feel like cooking. We so enjoyed the most delicious cheese and charcuterie raclette with home made lasagne and chips on our second night, that we ended up repeating it a second time during our stay. Anne-Laure and Eric are so accommodating that the chips were made as a special order despite not being on the menu, and we were touched to return to our apartment and find a basket of chocolate Easter eggs in our room one evening. As for the other extras that really make this such a perfect place to stay. 1. We were able to park our car in the secure underground car park which was great for convenience and peace of mind, and really helped keep us dry on a rainy day when we were loading the car before we departed. 2. Our apartment came with two heated ski lockers so we had plenty of room to store our skis, helmets, etc, and whilst we had brought some sledges with us, we were also able to make use of the other sledges provided to residents 3. Proximity to the telecabine / Pleney. Frond de Neige is minutes from the telecabine but surprisingly quiet. This means you don’t need to pay extra for a locker space and you don’t have to drag skis and kids on a long walk to get to those early morning ski lessons. 4. La Cendree is the perfect place for a quiet evening drink, and if you have children, then it means that you can keep an eye on them sledging in the snow at the same time. We shall definitely be back and just want to say thank you to Anne-Laure and Eric for your wonderful hospitality.

Half Term Ski Trip
Reviewed By 997neiltJust spent a week over half term with Darren, Luanne, Chris and Poppy. My wife and 4 children (14,12,7 & 5) absolutely loved it. The chalet is in the perfect location to explore the region. Easy access to all lifts. I have skied in Portes du Soleil for years now and I can safely say this is by far the best Chalet we have stayed at. Nothing was a problem for our hosts. They looked after us all so well. Food was truly fabulous. Drop offs and pick ups at any lift station wasn’t a problem thanks to the team which helped remove any stress with 4 kids. Chalet was lovely, warm and comfortable with lovely guests to share stories with. We will be booking again!!
