This is the third time to La plagne and we have always had a fantastic time staying with Pierre Vacances - exceptional value for money - clean and warm what more could you want? - the return of the €200 deposit would be nice - it has now been 8 days since we returned and it has still not been credited? Despite chasing daily and an assurance it was being processed still no joy?

The accommodation is a pretty basic apartment with some cooking facilities (microwave and hob, but no oven). There's a safe and a TV (French channels only). There are different sized apartments available - we go every year as 2 couples booking 2 of the 4/5 bed apartments. These have a double bedroom for 2 and 2 sofas in the living area, one of which pulls out to create another bed. Apartment space is very limited, as is storage, and if 4/5 people actually tried to stay in one of these apartments then it would be exceedingly cramped - it's great for a couple though. It would probably be OK for a young family though with a couple of small children. The cost of an apartment for a week is very reasonable, especially if you book early, so best to go for a size bigger than you need. There's plenty of parking immediately outside the accommodation and it is also perfectly sited for the ski slopes with a red run going straight past the building - its ski-to/from-door if you're an intermediate skier, otherwise its a traipse down the hill with your skis to the main area in the village. Les Coches gives you direct access to the massive Paradiski area, ideally situated between Les Arcs and the various Plagne areas. The Reception area at the apartments is only manned for limited hours during the day and has become noticeably more helpful and friendly over the past 2 years. Basic wi-fi is free but pretty poor - there is a premium option which costs extra but it's a rip-off as it's not any faster and internet access was very intermittent (a complaint to reception didn't improve matters in this area). Having stayed a few times now we know which rooms we'd prefer to be allocated but Pierre & Vacances in their wisdom will only allow you to select a room in advance if you pay a massive 65€ premium - very poor service for repeat customers in my view!

“convenient skin-in ski-out!”

great location, nice place to stay, all equipped accordingly. staff was friendly, but with limited competencies. e.g. they would not help with a taxi, or with internet problems. in fact the internet was very bad, even the paid one, so beware!
