Séjour à Chatel
Bon séjour à Chatel. Chalet plutôt conforme à la description par contre frigo très petit pour un grand nombre de personne et la propreté laisse à désirer lors de notre arrivée. Plus ou moins adapté aux enfants car escaliers très dangereux barrière difficile à positionner.

Notre séjour au chalet Gallois
Nous avons passés un agréable séjour au Chalet Gallois de Chatel. Celui-ci est très confortable pour 5 personnes, les espaces de nuits sont agréables et les activités babyfoot, baignoire à bulles et sauna sont un petit plus que nous avons beaucoup appréciés ! Cependant il serait pratique d'avoir un mode d'emploi du système d'interrupteurs un peu particulier. Une petite notice pour le sauna serait très utile lorsque que, comme nous, les voyageurs n'ont jamais utilisé ce type de produit. Enfin et surtout les espaces extérieurs manquent un peu d'intimité avec un vis a vis prononcé avec le chalet d'en face. Pour être plus adapté à la période estivale et à la capacité d'accueil du chalet, du mobilier de jardin supplémentaire serait top (transat, chaise longue, table...)

bas de chatel spacieux interessant
Tres bien plein de chambres toilettes a tous les etages chaleureux et bien amenage avec plein de trucs en plus en quartier on est pas perdus dans la nature mais plusieurs maisons vides a cote. le sauna est petit doit être ok en hiver, la baignoire a bulles moi j'aime pas mais elle existe et fonctionne tres bien. la salle de jeux (babyfoot ) accueille facile 4-5 vélos escaliers pentus il y avait des équipements supplémentaires non mentionnes tant mieux ! La véranda pour manger pas enorme ou proche route juste j'avais amené plein de capsules nespresso et damned c était filtre ou italienne ! tres bien en tout pas trouve de tuyau pour laver vélos prevoir lavage station fin des pistes

Séjour parfait
Nous avons séjourné un long week-end entre collègues dans ce chalet typique avec tout le confort nécessaire. Équipement complet pour la cuisine, sauna pour un moment de détente après le ski et de belles soirées au coin du feu. Andy notre contact sur place était très à l écoute et très réactif à nos demandes. Bref un séjour parfait. Je ne peux que recommander ce logement, que nous ne manquerons pas de réserver pour nos séjours futurs à Châtel. .

About the host

Hosted by Martin and Sue Thomas

Host profile image
Martin and Sue have been visiting Châtel with their three children for over 20 years. Initially just in the summer and then both summer and winter holidays were spent at L’Oustalet, the excellent campsite run by Marie-Jo and Philipe Thoule. Over the years they have fallen in love with the village and it’s surrounding area and eleven years ago they decided to give up caravanning and purchase a chalet, which has undergone extensive renovation with the help of local craftsmen.

Why they chose this property

The chalet is ideally situated between the village centre and the ski slopes. Excellent restaurants are within walking distance. Chatel is a major alpine centre of mountain biking in the summer months to complement the skiing during the winter.
We are part of the MultiPass scheme which runs during the summer months with great offers on many local attractions.

What makes this property unique

Although the chalet was constructed in 1972 it was built in the 'styl ancien' with interlocking wood for the walls, wooden flooring and with the use of old beams to give it an unique ambiance.
