 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking at booking a couple of rooms at Résidence Maeva Horizons d'Huez in January. 629 Euros for a '6 berth' cabin - we'll probably put 4 in each).
Has anyone stayed here or have any other self catering recommendations in ADH?
We've never been to ADH - but it's located in L'Eclose area. Is this OK for getting to and from slopes/shops? It looks to be further down the mountain.
Also, any recommendations on transfers from Grenoble airport?
Thanks!

Josef K, If 629Euros is just for the rental that sounds expensive, assuming your are not including New Year.
L'Eclose is a fairly quiet area and is linked to the main lifts by chairlifts and a shuttlebus. It is a 5 minute walk to the sports centre and a couple of minutes longer to the main town. L'Eclose has a few shops of it's own including breadshop, 2 small supermarkets (although I think only 1 is going to survive eventually), a couple of small restaurants / pizzeria and 2 or 3 ski hire places.
The main drawback, I would say, of the Horizon appartments is that they are on the lower level of Eclose which means you have a 100m walk to a pedestrian lift. ride up the lift, then a further 100m to the shops / chairlifts. Not disastrous but not hyper convenient either.
I would say, apart from car hire, Bens bus is probably the best unless you can strike a good deal for some 8 seater people carrier or something, it is only about 75 mins drive if conditions are good.

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

Josef K, I'd agree with skitow - that's expensive if it's low season especially as the location doesn't sound brilliant. What's the size (square metres) of the apartment. If the advertisement doesn't specify, I'd sent them an email and ask.

Thanks skitow and Pam. 629 Euros is just for accommodation for the week (22nd to 29th Jan) - it works out as 160 Euros each. There's also smaller apartments for 433 Euros and 489 Euros.
Do you have any suggestions for better value/location?
I reckon Bens Bus is the way forward with transfers - cheers.

Josef K, Er..... thats because those are 2009/10 bookings. Have not updated for this season yet. If you are interested in renting privately I have a few contact names of other owners if you want them, let me know.

skitow, Please do - PM me the links/details if possible. We're after 'comfortable' accommodation for 7 or 8 so two 4s would be fine. The Horizons place for 160 Euros had 2 rooms with 2 beds and a living room space - which is ideal.
