 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Have recently booked apartment for 6 people in Hameau Du Borsat in Tignes with Leisure Diection, who have now advertised the same apartment, but now for 4/5 people. Have been reassured from them that we have been allocated the apartment for 6, but feel a little uneasy, especially as our friends have 4 children..... oops, I know bad move to fill French apartment to capacity. Has anyone stayed at this accommodation, is it the usual French compact box? Any reassurances would be welcomed.

I haven't stayed there for many years (probably about 5), so things may have changed since I was there but I would have said that putting 6 in a 6 person apartment in that building may be very cosy indeed. We put three in a six person apartment and were tripping over one another! However, apartment design in that building varies quite a bit, IIRC, so you may be luckier than we were last time - on previous visits we had better apartments, also rated for six. Simple accomodation, well positioned - but yes, the usual French compact box.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

BeckyBB, Dont expect a penthouse suite. I think Alastair's, last line sums it up well.

First time we visited French Alps in 2000 we were given accomodation exactly in Hameau de Borsat - we got that appartment for 6 people and we survived there despite the fact there was 6 of us  Despite being from former communist country we were bit shocked however we got used to it somehow. Anyway since then I have visited few other destinations in same price range - La Plagne, Val Thorens,Val Cenis, Chamonix - and can say that apparmtents in Hameau de borsat are the "most compact" - especially those removable beds in narow corridor.
Since then I always look at square meters of floor area when searching for accomodation in France and always book bigger appartment for less people. I am really curious how the appartments in Arc1950 will look like cause they claim about double floor area than usual.
So to sum it up, you have surely became standard Tignes appartment however the standard can be also higher in other resorts.
