Vvf Villages Le Grand Valcenis

We had an excellent stay at the VVF in Val Cenis! The setting is magnificent, in the heart of the mountains, with ideal access to hiking, bike rides, and all the valley's activities. A huge thank you to the entire team for their welcome and professionalism. The staff was particularly responsive and did not hesitate to change our accommodation when we explained that the mezzanine and its ladder were a problem for my husband. This attention and willingness to listen really touched us. Our accommodation was clean, well-equipped, and perfectly met our expectations, which allowed us to have a very pleasant stay. A big bravo also to the entire catering team: the meals were varied, generous, and absolutely delicious. The staff is always smiling, available, and attentive, which makes the stay even more pleasant. We came with our two Golden Retrievers, and everything was perfect for them as well. The numerous walking possibilities starting from the VVF allowed them to fully enjoy the wide-open spaces, just like us. We are leaving with wonderful memories and only one desire: to come back very soon! We recommend this VVF without the slightest hesitation. The only small negative point of our stay? Unfortunately, we did not have time to taste Kader's famous jam… So we will have to come back to fix this mistake! A big thank you to the whole team for these beautiful vacations!

Tips Our apartment had dishwasher so remember to take a few dishwasher tabs with you. It's much cheaper if you have a car to do shop before you get further up mountain so we grabbed loo roll, food and essentials. If I went there again I would take a puppy pad or similar as ski boots don't fit in lockers so need to store in room but nowhere to put them to dry. Pool pictured is NOT onsite- it is public pool you can have access to by showing your room key. Pool was cold but clean- you must have swimming hat and men need close fitting swimming trunks. You can pay extra fee for sauna there. Rooms were basic but clean and warm enough. Not enough storage and slightly awkward design. Would have liked some basic info in room, but if you go into reception there are info sheets. Reception is not manned 24/7. Property aimed at French guests so info mostly in French and TV only had French channels. Still snow on Terres Grasses nursery slope near apartments in March. Skiing was good slopes open and fresh snow. Roads around apartments were well gritted. Ski hire place and souvenir shop on site. Bakery and small shop 5-10 minute walk, you can also do a bakery order through reception. Car parking wasn't a problem plenty of space but no dedicated space for apartments. Ski lockers useful just for skis and poles but no room for boots and unheated. Sofa bed- main bed wood edge made sitting on it impossible and fair few bruises from getting in and out of bed- shelf above bed poorly placed so you hit your head if sat up to watch tv- remote only worked within 3m so had to get up to change channels. Lovely views of mountain from some apartments and useful airer on balcony.

accommodation x2 rented for 1 week more than obsolete.. the window door closes with a kick it seems.. click clac as a bed for parents.. in fact the houses have not been renovated for a few decades.. ( 13 and 14 ) let’s pass....the cleaning had not been done when we arrived (vacuum cleaner and mop).. let’s pass... We did not wish to comment... The worst for us....we understood the principle of the Family Holiday Village... but there all these families montessori (nickname since when there is no one it screams at their child) it’s too much... To flee ... the “dining room” turns into a playground at mealtimes .. children run and scream without the intervention of anyone (parents or staff vvf) the same for the reception hall! should we let the children express themselves? our reservation in full board turned into several meals eaten outside so unbearable and yet parents of 2 children today aged 21 and 16 ... as for the food service... A BIG THANK YOU TO POMONA for all its frozen.... ok it’s cheap VVF Lanslevillard but still.... unfortunately we will not repeat this “experience”  The staff at the front desk was fine When checking out, think of a little word of departure.... did you have a good stay, see you soon.. finally the commercial minimum.. in short a club to recommend for parents of young children who are all allowed ...
