An undiscovered gem in the French Alpes

Review Submitted: September 30, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Last week seven Dutchmen went on a crazy road trip to Bourg d' Oisans to cycle the Alpes. We stayed in the chalet and had a fantastic time. The chalet is tidy, spacious and well-equipped (full kitchen, wireless internet, board and card games etc.). The scenary is amazing and it is only a 3 minutes walk from the chalet to the centre and 5 minutes to a large groceries store.

The owners even took care of little things like sending us maps in advance but also a complimentary welcome package upon arriving. Definitely we can recommend this chalet for a stay, even if you are not into cycling.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased there was everything you needed in the chalet. Look forward to you all returning one day. Regards Adeana and John.

Cycling with friends in the Alps

Hiltjo Scheemda, The Netherlands
Review Submitted: September 26, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The description of the house is accurate, in real it's even better. The property is very clean, the garden is very nice and you have a beautiful view on the mountains.
The showers are very good and we've all slept very well on the beds.
I've had a very good contact with the owner, she helped me very good with all my questions. I recommend a stay in this house for everyone, families and groups of cyclist for sure. Bourg d'Oisans is a very nice place to be, there are a lot of shops, great supermarket and restaurants (La Romanche is very good).
It takes only a few minutes to walk to the centre of the village even as the swimming pole.
Our cycling trips; Lautaret and Galibier, Alpe d'Huez, Col d'Ornon, Sarenne and La Berarde. And with the car to Briancon (65 km) for the Izoard.

We had a beautiful week!!!

A lovely and perfect stay!

Review Submitted: August 10, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Half a year ago we were looking for a house for two families (4 adults en 4 children 6-15) nearby the Alpe d'Huez. At that time two men had a dream; to climb the Alpe (again)! During our week the 15 year old daughter cycled along, outstanding. They also climbed the Col d'Ornon and the Galibier. We all visited Deux Alpes and made a long walk. An we were on the river La Rive by canoe. Our visit to restaurant La Romanche was very good, the Colporteur good and the Rive Gauche a lot less. The swimming pool is nice, a ten minutes walk away (with children) and not expensive.
The house was a perfect place to stay, to have the bicycles in the garage. Practical and lots of space, cupboards full with more than we have at our own home. How welcome can you feel?! The things we read in advance, all came true. It was even better than we expected; the owner is so modest. The house was clean, and there were lots of things extra. The contacts with the owner were professional, and more so personal, warm and friendly. If we came to Bourg again, we would very mich like to come back. And if friends would go, we'd surely recommend this beautiful place!!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind comments. John and I are so pleased you enjoyed our home and the area around Bourg d'Oisans. We look forward to you all returning one day.

Perfect place!

Frederik, denmark Copenhagen, Denmark
Review Submitted: July 21, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
I am a bit hesitant to review this place as I would rather keep this secret to myself, but then again everyone deserves the opportunity to visit this beautiful place in the alps and stay in this wonderfull house.

Perfect for families (we were 6 adults and 3 children), and we didnt miss anything (I really cant think of a single thing) during our stay!

the owner was very helpful with questions and sending us info about the house and the region.

Beyond all the normal things we really appreciated the garage for our bikes ( the place is perfect if your into cycling) and the enclosed garden where the kids could play without us needing to worry.

Within 5-10 minutes walk you can reach all of the town, and from the property you can enjoy the breathtaking views of the mountains whereever you are.

All in all we had a wonderful trip and we have allready started talking about coming back!


One of the best trips Ive been on in many years!

Sincerely

Frederik (Denmark)
