Luxury Studio With Easy Access To The 3 Valleys In A Beautiful Spa Town.

My second home and ski base is a luxuriously furnished studio apartment, measuring approximately 28m2, that sleeps four via a double sofa bed and two single bunk beds in an alcove (separated with a curtain), that has been fully fitted with furniture and appliances. The kitchenette is fully equipped with dishwasher, kettle, toaster, microwave and mini oven (big enough to cook Christmas dinner!). I am happy for you to stay in my home but please do not touch any of my personal possessions that are not on show and are clearly for my personal use. I have suffered a burglary recently which is very upsetting and ruined my first ski trip for three years, please respect my property. Towels and linen or not provided but these can be ordered and paid for in advance. Red blankets and pillows are provided for your use. The quilt is my personal property and is not for the use of guests as this cannot be laundered between stays.

The full address is:-

59 Rue Aristide Briande

There is a widescreen TV which shows a number of English channels and I have gone through all 700 channels to save these as favourites for your convenience. The TV and digibox need to be switched on and the correct hdmi2 source selected via the TV remote. There is also free WiFi throughout the residence. The property has a balcony with access to a shared garden and has a lovely view of the Vanoise mountain peak. There are half-board dining options at local restaurants and a local bakery comes to reception each morning. Other useful services include a laundry and a ski locker which is accessible with the apartment key. Based in the beautiful town of Brides les Bains, with its river and bridges, it offers easy and quick access to the vast 3 Vallees skiing but is also a lovely place to stay in the summer with the beautiful river, many bridges, park, many picturesque walks and the lakeside Bozel not far away. Slightly further afield is Annecy which is always worth a visit.

During the ski season, my contact in France is able to offer the following services:-

• Discounted ski passes delivered to the accommodation.
• Wine packs delivered
• Oven ready meal deliveries from delivered at a time to suit. Options such as a sausage casserole.
• Linen, Towels, Cot and high chair rental.
• Food shopping deliveries.
• Discounts on shared transfer prices.

Residence Cybele was originally built to accommodate athletes during the 1992 Winter Olympics and has undergone extensive refurbishment. The residence comprises 132 apartments in a seven story building (with lift), conveniently located just 300m from the centre of town and 600m from the Olympic Gondola to Meribel. There are many bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. There is access to the property, via the night entrance, at all times, so you can arrive as late as you like and you will always get in! Upon arrival in the apartment, you will pick up a fob for access through the main reception door and the exit from the car park. Please note that end of stay cleaning is included in the prices quoted, which is passed in its entirety to a cleaning company. There is a compulsory damage deposit of £150 or 150 euros which may be sent by cheque or left in the apartment if a last minute booking but that is 100% refundable (we can destroy or return your cheque) after the apartment is checked over at the end of your stay. There is a bathroom with WC and shower above the bath. The adjoining kitchenette is equipped with a ceramic hob, a microwave/grill, a dishwasher, a coffee maker, and the necessary crockery, cutlery and utensils. There is also a mini oven that I have purchased for your use. There is a free local bus that goes from just outside the Residence to the Olympic gondola and back in the evening or, otherwise, it's about a 5 minute walk and there are ski lockers in Meribel (at the top of the gondola) if you don't want to do this in ski boots! Staying in Brides les Bains offers you a cost-effective way of skiing the whole of the extensive 3 Vallees area and, on occasion, you can even ski all the way back! Brides-les-Bains offers access to an impressive 600km of slopes for skiers of all abilities and energy levels! The Meribel Valley itself boasts 140km of slopes, as well as two snowparks. Cross-country skiing The Meribel ski area offers 33km of cross-country trails, which are suitable for skiers of all abilities. In Meribel Centre, the "Les Saturins" nursery offers childcare to children aged between 18 months to 3 years and is located in the centre of the Olympic Park, offering both indoor and outdoor activities. The "Les Petits Loups" kindergarten located in Meribel Centre and Meribel Mottaret welcomes slightly older children aged from 3 to 5 years. There are a number of restaurants and pubs in Brides les Bains so you can choose to apres ski within walking distance of your apartment. There are also several shops providing day to day groceries and ski equipment/clothing. Breakfast (croissants etc) can also be purchased in the reception area every morning. .Lift pass prices for skiers staying in Brides-les-Bains include access to the gondola and these can be purchased in-resort or in advance. Bed linen and towels are not included automatically but can be booked and paid for in advance via my cleaning company. There is free, secure, underground parking although with a height restriction of 1.9m.

In the summer, this is a great location for hill walking, cycling, tennis (facilities in the town and in nearby Moutiers) and river-rafting. Brides les Bains is a genuine dual season resort so is as busy in summer as in winter. It is known for its spa facilities and, in the summer, local restaurants offer calorie controlled menus! The local water is free and comes highly recommended! Other activities in Brides les Bains include a fitness/spa centre with hammam, saunas, treatments and whirlpool, cinema, night clubs, a casino, bars and restaurants...

Great location. Conscientious owner.
The apartments offers many features that are conducive to a successful stay. The owner is easily contactable and wants people to enjoy their stay. The apartment is roomy and offers facilities that allow for a homely experience. However, the system for maintainable and cleaning offers opportunities for people to take advantage of the situation as it stands. My daughter and her boyfriend arrived after a difficult journey and found pillows that were badly stained and a quilt that shouldn’t have been used that was also stained. To her credit the owner quickly rectified this problem. From then on my daughter had a good stay, though they would have preferred having a quilt rather than blankets as one of them suffered from asthma and reacted to the blankets.

Nice studio with great access to the cable lift
Everything you need in a studio apartment. Only five to 10 mins walk max to the cable lift to meribel. Great having your own parking space as we drove up to meribel and parked there everyday and just jumped in the car with very tired legs at the end of the day and just drove back to the studio. Good value for the cost.

Spacious apartment in good location
Great apartment, bigger than many similar style apartments with a nice balcony. Nicely furnished and great to have private wifi and UK TV channels. Good location, 5 mins walk to restaurants in town and 10 mins to the gondola. Ski hire shop in the building is an added bonus, no long walk to and from the hire shop at the beginning and end of the week! Super helpful owner who provided great info in advance and answered all queries quickly.

Comfortable and well priced accommodation
Overall i'd say this accommodation is very good. 10 or 15 minute walk from the town centre and L'Olympe gondola. Common areas look a little tired but this didn't effect our stay.

Fantastic value for money
Great apartment with home comforts of British tv and wifi, with the added bonus of access to a pool and sauna (8 euros for exclusive use of sauna). Very dog friendly - there is an exit at the end of the corridor that you can use to safely let your dog out. We drove up the mountain each day (20 minutes) and had a great tip from the owner to park for free in Meribel Village - we could literally ski back to the carpark. Added bonus of carparking under the building. Would definitely recommend and are booking for next year.

Excellent value and kids loved the pool!
Nicki accurately describes the accommodation and location. Brides Les Bains is a quiet village and provides easy access to the slopes; we drove each day to Meribel Centre so that we could ski straight back to our car after a long day skiing. the pool is open until 6:30 each day. The studio was exactly as described, its compact but we managed 1 adult and 3 kids. car parking in the basement underground car park was very convenient too. We would definitely go to Nicki's apartment again and recommend it for affordable accommodation within the 3 valleys resort

Acceptable mais pourrait faire mieux !
ACCUEIL LAMENTABLE A vrai dire, il n'y en a pas (!) et toutes les portes de l'immeuble étaient closes à 20h. A la lecture des avis des locataires précédents nous avons fait tout notre possible pour arriver vers 20h. Il pleuvait très fort et faisait nuit noire. Le groupe d'immeuble n'est pas éclairé à l'extérieur et nous avons cherché "le main bulding" suivant les indications de la propriétaire. Au hasard, nous nous sommes engouffrés dans un puis un second immeuble, longé tous les couloirs, monté dans les étages... et c'est le dernier qui était le bon ! 1/2h de pérégrination !! SACHEZ QU'IL S'AGIT DU PREMIER IMMEUBLE A DROITE (dans lequel se trouve Intersport) AU SOMMET DE LA RAMPE D'ACCES; - L'immeuble trouvé : toutes les portes étaient verrouillées : un pass était nécessaire pour pénétrer (même pour la porte dite entrée de nuit). Par bonheur, un jeune-homme faisant sa gym dans le vestibule de l'immeuble nous a ouvert. Je n'ose imaginer la situation d'une famille venant de faire 600km et arrivant tard dans la nuit ?? aucun hôtel ouvert, aucune main amie pour lui ouvrir !!! EQUIPEMENT ET PROPRETE Le matériel de cuisine est au minima. Pas de robot broyeur (soupes) ou batteur. Pas de ciseaux (si non de minuscules ciseaux à ongle !), pas de couteaux de cuisine QUI COUPENT, pas de balance de cuisine, pas...bref, 3 fourchettes seulement mais 6 cuillères. 3 verres à eau seulement. Le studio est fait, nous dit-on pour 4 personnes ! - La literie est douteuse (tous les oreillers sont a jeter). VUE On nous annonce une belle vue. Si l'on pense que deux façades qui vous cachent la montagne est ce qu'il y a de mieux : alors, je suis d'accord ! Certes, on peut voir un petit bout de sommet derrière l'une d'entre elle et si l'on se tord le cou vers la gauche, on peut réaliser que l'on est en montagne. - Enfin, il faut savoir que le canapé du salon est en réalité, en position nuit, 2 lits d'une personnes cote à cote et qu'il faut les refaire tous les soir et les défaire tous les matins. Cela fait de l'exercice !! C'est vrai que l'on est à Brides pour cela. Hormis ces remarques le studio est correctement situé. Assez loin (à pied) de la source (800m environ). Mieux vaut de le savoir car beaucoup de curistes ont du mal a marcher. Mes réflexion que je ne voudrai pas agressives devraient, je l'espère améliorer l'accueil des locataire et permettre de faire un peu de propreté dans la literie. Merci d'avance. Bien cordialement.

Problème à l’arrivee
La procédure d’arrivée est un calvaire. La porte de l’immeuble se situe juste à la gauche du magasin intersport. Mais il faut un badge pour entrée (se trouvant dans la boîte à clef, elle-même à la porte de l’appartement dans l’immeuble). De plus, l’eau n’est pas très chaude dans la salle de bain
