The appartment occupied an excellent location easily accessible to the vast slopes of La Plagne direct from the front door. We could not have chosen a better appartment to meet the needs of a family skiing holiday.
The service and support of the owner in assisting us with our holiday was highly appreciated.

Super ski apartment Les Drus
Struan 101   glasgow.
Date Submitted: February 27, 2009   Date of Stay: December 2008
We rented this superbly-sited apartment over the Christmas period.The property was clean,very well-equippedand furnished with all the necessaries for a successful self-catering holiday and had adequate space for a family of 4/5.The view from the balcony(which has plenty of room for ski storage)overlooks one of the local pistes and was perfect for doing some people-watching while enjoying an apres-ski cognac or two.
The highly-efficient heating system was great for drying off our wet gear and there was plenty of storage space for clothes,boots etc.At the entrance to the building there is a well-stocked Spar which satisfied all our needs and nearby,within metres of the store,the ski-pass office is located.Also on the ground floor of the building is an excellent and reasonably-priced family-run restaurant serving local Savoyard cuisine.Access to several pistes is a short ski away from this genuine ski-in/ski-out location.We received a warm and friendly greeting on arrival from the owner's agents,Bob and Maureen Morris who have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the La Plagne area.The apartment really couldn't have been more conveniently situated and we're considering returning next winter.I would highly recommend this property.

Ski La Plagne, Stay Les Drus!
Nick.   Hampshire.
Date Submitted: February 25, 2009   Date of Stay: February 2009
La Plagne is an excellent resort for families and skiers of all abilities, as we found out, this week, being my 8 year old daughters first time on skis.
The area is vast, you won't do it all in a week.
We chose this apartment for its proximity to the slopes and that of the ski school meeting point. Both are outside your door, making life with kids very easy, without the need to make a special journey, worth its weight in gold as a parent!
Similarly the hire shops, lift pass office, and Ski School office are all outside the block opposite about 50 metres away max.
The apartment is well looked after, clean, tidy, and essentially warm with the heating adjustable. It's well equiped, everything works, and again of value to us was the entertainment by way of TV/DVD/VHS, etc, along with masses of films to watch should you wish.
The beds are comfortable, and the new sofa bed makes a great double or single bed, it's big, not the normal two or three seater type.
The Dishwasher is a handy extra.
Nice views from the balcony, and again a small point, but its proximity to the main lift is great, only 20 or 30 feet away, as if you take as much stuff as we did, it makes loading or unloading easy!
The girls loved it here, so much so we have booked again already. We are a family of 5, with three kids aged 8 to 3, the apartment is big enough to accomodate us all.
Below the block is a well equiped Spar shop, it's not cheap, but its got the lot. We took our own food, and used it for odds and ends, get there early after 8 am for fresh Croissants, they go fast!
Didn't use the restaurants so can't comment, but again right below the block there are plenty.
Plagne Soleil is just perfectly situated, being left of the resort, and high, which means quick access towards the Vanoise link to Les Arcs if you wish.
Booking on line with the French Ski school,is easy to do, and best of all outside your door on arrival. The beginers slope is within view, by mid week my 8 year old was on mid mountain blue runs!
The owners of this apartment John and Donna are pleasent to deal with, helpful with advice and tips for the journey or area.
The in resort reps Bob and Mo again, very helpful, making arrival an easy event.
We drove here, by far the easiest and cheapest option for us, the resort roads are easy to deal with, and parking a plenty.
All in all a great week, looking forward to next year already.

Skiing in Plagne Soleil, Les Drus
Rowney Lay   Braintree, Essex.
Date Submitted: February 09, 2009   Date of Stay: January 2009
Date submitted: Feb 8th 2009. Date of visit: January 2009
This is the fourth visit I have made to La Plagne and John and Donna’s apartment in Les Drus, Plagne Soleil. This year (like last year and the years previously) the skiing was fabulous and because it is so extensive, also exhausting! The apartment is clean and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. Flexibility of the sleeping arrangements (it can sleep 6) ensures that everyone gets good nights sleep. The apartment is always warm and there is plenty of hot water. The view out of the French windows is of the groomed piste and the hillside, and if you are lucky enough, you may greet the sight of the ESF instructors carving through the powder early in the morning! What is really good about this apartment is its situation. It is but a few paces from the lift on the third floor and then a few paces from the square which leads directly on to the piste and the lifts. Just beside the lift on the ground floor is a supermarket which stocks just about everything you can imagine and, adjacent to this is a top class restaurant, the lift pass office and the ski fit shop. Just across the square is an equipment shop and a takeaway pizza café.
What’s not to like???

Plagne Soleil
Mick 001   stroud, Gloucestershire UK.
Date Submitted: January 20, 2009   Date of Stay: January 2009
Apartment was a bit small for 2 adults and 2 teenagers but managable. Fridge was a bit hit and miss and the double bed was not comfortable at all, had to use the pull out bed in the main room. Access to slopes was excellent and the agent on site (Bob) was first class. Resort area was quiet which was very nice. I would go back to the resort but perhaps a different apartment next time with more room.

Owners Response: This property is a 25sq.m, very affordable apartment in a world class skiing resort.As you will read in other reviews,it is well equipped, clean and well cared for. Should one wish for an apartment in a ski resort to be "spacious", clients will need to pay a significant premium above my very competitive rental rates. Following this client's comments, the fridge was checked and the thermostat was found to be on its lowest operating setting. Once turned up to the normal setting of "4" it worked perfectly. Also, this client had requested to take his dog into the apartment. In the interests of my regular and future clients ( to maintain hygiene and cleanliness standards) this request was of course, declined. During the week prior to this rental period it was discovered that the client had plans to take his dog in with him, in disregard of the owners decision.The bias of this review therefore came as no surprise.

Great property

Date Submitted: January 13, 2009   Date of Stay: December 2008
We had a fabulous week. The apartment was very well situated directly on the piste. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We found all the comforts of home albeit in a smaller space! We appreciated the small library of videos as it was very expensive in resort as the pound is so weak against the Euro. The caretakers were very helpful and friendly.

apartment 304 Les Drus, Plagne Soleil
Mick and Sandy   Chesterfield,UK.
Date Submitted: March 14, 2008   Date of Stay: March 2008
This was a wonderfully well equiped apartment in an ideal location. Warm and comfortable with a homely feel. The agents Bob and Mo were superb, nothing too much trouble. Everything on the doorstep, ski in ski out, ski hire, supermarket, sportshops and restaurants. Le Baryon restaurant directly underneath was superb, as was the Dou Du Praz restaurant on the piste, just above the resort. I would definately recommend this apartment and I will be going again.

Owners Response: We bought this apartment in La Plagne because of the resorts excellent/reliable snow history and the convenience of all services you would need for a super skiing holiday. Our family and friends stay in our apartment because we have equipped it as if it were our home. We establish a high level of cleanliness that our clients find is impressive. Our agents are in the resort all winter to maintain those standards and offer their services for your peace of mind and to help you to have a great holiday there.
