Great cycling location
Basic Facilities and interior. The house was mostly clean but was very cobwebby and dusty. Lots of spiders! There is no wardrobe or hanging space in either of the bedrooms. The kitchen fridge was small with a tiny box freezer which was overflowing with ice and only half froze food placed in it. More positively my daughter enjoyed her spacious bedroom with the lovely view of the lake. Great location for cycling, which we really loved. Sent from my iPhone

Great property
We had a great stay. The chalet was well laid out, plenty of room for 4 (2 a, 2ch) enough bedroom space and living space, clean and tidy perfect for a ski holiday, a well equipped kitchen etc. Getting to the ski areas was really easy we went to oz en oisan and villard recullas both have easy access to alpe d'huez. we also managed a trip to les deux alpes 45 mins by car as it was included in the lift pass this added some variety to the week. A car is essential. We would happily return for our next visit to Alpes D'huez

Great and private location. Loads of outside space. Perfect for cycling.
Chose the property due to location close to Alpe d'Huez. Whilst a little isolated shops etc. are only a short drive away and if you're feeling a little adventurous then it's possible to walk into Allemont which has a couple of bars and restaurants. Outside space is fabulous with a side terrace with table and chairs (weather great so ate all meals here) plus lawned area with views over lake and mountains. Accommodation is quite small and basic but suited our needs perfectly.

Lieu de villégiature très agréable, voisinages accueillant. Commerces à 5 minutes.
Propriété bien située, calme et agréable. Ce qui est le moins est le fait d'arriver sur place de se rendre compte que le logement est sale, pas fonctionnel en aucuns points pour une famille. Pas de produits d'entretiens, pas de seau, serpillère d'un autre temps, j'ai du allé faire l'achat de produits et passer 5 h à nettoyer les lieux. La vaisselle est dépareillée, pas deux verres identiques, gras et reboutant. Les poils et casseroles désuets, rangés sous le siphon de l'évier, pas top pour l'hygiène. Un réfrigérateur trop petit pour 4 personnes. Bouilloire sale, friteuse sale, four sale, pas de poubelle, Aucuns rangements quels qu'il soit en cuisine comme dans les chambres. La literie est basique, matelas 10 cm qui a vécu, oreillers auréolés jaunes de transpiration ( rebutant), mal au dos après deux nuits. Salle de bain petite, certes, mais la douche sale, les joints noirs de moisissures, le sèche serviette très mal placé ( on se tape dedans à chaque sortie de douche), le miroir de lavabo est mini, situé trop bas. Espaces verts débroussaillés la veille de notre arrivée, l'herbe non ratissée ce qui fait qu'à chaque allée et retour dehors , on en ramène dans le logement. En conclusion, après avoir fait le nécessaire me concernant pour se sentir en vacance, nous avons passé un séjour << Correct>> mais le sentiment de m'être fait berner pas les photos du site et de la réalité sur place. Ce logement est fait pour 3 voir 4 personnes au max et ne pas trop être exigeant sur les commodités de vie. ( je dispose de nombreuse photos de l'état des lieux à notre arrivée)
