Lovely property in a quiet village
A fabulous property in the small and quiet village of Saint-Jean-De-Belleville. Just a 10/15 minute drive from the ski lifts at Saint Martin De Belleville, around 20 minutes from Les Menuires and 30 minutes from Val Thoren.
The property is a very well presented and cosy chalet with a large hot tub under the property which you have to go outside to access. Although there is a log burner, we never had to light it as the underfloor heating throughout the property keeps it lovely and warm. Beds are comfy and showers always hot. There is one indoor toilet (one also by the hot tub) which wasn’t a problem for us as a family of 4.
The owner, Thierry is excellent and is always there to offer support and help if you need it, he will also give you ideas for local walks and places to visit. However, if you don’t need anything you won’t really see him, apart from when you seeing him walking around the village with his dog.
We had a lovely stay over Easter, with lots of fresh snow the skiing (especially in Val Thorens) was excellent. We loved our daily drive up the valley, so beautiful.
The 3 valleys resorts were affected by strong winds which closed much of them for 3 days but as La Plagne is only an hours drive away we headed over there to continue our skiing fix.
Apart from a weekly pizza van there are no shops or restaurants in the village. So you will need to make sure you have your essentials and use shops in other towns or the big Carrefour in Moutiere.
