Beautiful chalet, perfect for a ver special family Xmas holidays
A beautiful chalet, with ample space for 5 adults (family) in our group and a real home from home charm full of everything you would need for a XMAS ski break. Decorated with lots of Christmas touches. A very well equipped kitchen area perfect for self catering as we did every night. A big garage for storing skis and boots (and car, though we used the free car parking right outside) An amazing ski area, easily accessed with a short walk, and a good local supermarket (delicious chicken roti) A little quiet in the evenings, but after 7-8hrs on the slopes, no one had the energy for dancing on the tables!
What we liked most about our stay is the secluded feel while being just a 2 minute walk away from shops and lifts. There are lots of characterless shoe box apartments in Meribel but this one has a unique layout with a more traditional feel and a view up to the mountains. It's quite special to not have any other buildings in sight. The apartment is very well equipped, way beyond the items listed. Our only issue was in communication as the original listing said that end-of-stay cleaning was included but then we had to pay extra. I think it's now corrected but might be good to clarify. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and the great communication. Thank you!
We had a fantastic time staying in Mottaret in Feb 20. The owner Genevieve was so nice, helpful and answered all our questions. The apartment its self is just a very short walk to the slopes, but far enough away that's its nice and quiet in the evenings. The views from the balcony are amazing. We ate out every night in the village and found some great places, far more than we thought there would be, but the apartment is well equipped for cooking your own meals and has everything you would need. We were a group of 6 adults and found we had more than enough space for us all. With a Boot warmer and storage for skis in the garage downstairs this made it much easier getting ready in the mornings and coming home at night. Although not quite ski to door, we were able to ski to Pub which was great at the end of a long day. It was then just a 3-5 minute walk home. There is a great little supermarket just 50m away which had all we needed and then there is a slightly bigger one just at the other side of the village. Mottaret is perfect for skiing the entire 3 valleys and we are already looking to come back next year and would not hesitate to stay here again if Gene would have us. 5 stars all round.
