Vacancéole - Appart'Vacances Pyrénées 2000

The Appart Vacances is a modern, well-designed, apartment block in a convenient location offering good value in the Pyrenees 2000 part of Font Romeu. The building is attractive and modern, built with natural stone cladding. Each room has a balcony, well-equipped kitchenette, bathroom WC. Our room was a suite with a sofabed, separate double bedroom and bunkbed alcove. In the basement is a ski-hire centre and allocated private ski lockers with direct access to the street. It is very much self service - make your own beds (cotton bedding supplied) and clean at the end. Some basic supplies might have been useful. Arrival day was chaotic (busiest day of the year, I expect, but completely predictable so not sure why they needed to close reception for the afternoon!) but after that the staff team coped well and were helpful and friendly. The Apartment is 5-10 minutes' walk from the Pyrenees 2000 lift area - a bit of a struggle with kids. Font Romeu is a small resort. It claims to be the sunniest ski resort in France and we weren't disappointed. Limited snowfall is managed by laying down artificial snow over a period of months so that the pistes are always reliably skiable. There are nursery slopes at the base level, some easy greens, graduating upward gently through blues, reds and blacks. Something for everyone although by the end of 6 days we had done it all! Queues for lifts were generally very short and skiers were polite and considerate. Font Romeu town is beautiful old skiing village with a single cable car to the pistes. Pyrenees 2000 is better served by lifts but very limited in terms of a village centre and restaurants.

Yeah it’s near enough to the lifts as are many many places there. The staff are also very nice and as helpful as possible (when you actually see them) but basically unless you like cleaning and fussing over finickty details like dishwashers, bed making, vacuum cleaners and putting the rubbish out when you’re on holiday then why ever stay here. The detailed list of what you must do to have your deposit returned comes with a little box with some sponges etc just to show they mean it. If you happen to be less then 5ft tall then you might just get a decent nights rest after the slopes but we are both average height and our feet were hanging out of the ‘single’ beds which were also very narrow compared to a standard single. We laughed it off as was only a very short stay but will make a note note to bother again.

Superbe semaine on a tout eu vent neige pluie et soleil!!!! c'est un endroit magique autour de toutes ses montagnes. Merci

Le bain bouillonnant n'a jamais bouillonné malgré la bonne volonté du personnel... Appartement qui mériterait une rénovation car le coin cuisine est trop petit avec un lave vaisselle riquiqui pour un logement pour 6 personnes.. heureusement nous n'étions que deux ! La literie est moyenne aussi. La vue sur les montagnes est splendide mais il est préférable d être en étage élevé à cause de la piscine en construction. Il est aussi regrettable qu'il n'y ait pas de chambre avec deux lits simples. Point positif est l'ouverture en avril car il. 'n'y a plus rien après la fermeture de la station.

Personne à l'accueil très aimable (séjour du 30 mars au 06 avril). La chambre mériterait un lit en 160 cm. Canapé trop rigide. Très bon emplacement. Nous pouvons prendre les petits déjeuners (un plus). Sauna, hammam, spa hammam. Très bon séjour

Séjour ait été globalement très agréable. La propreté était satisfaisante dans l'ensemble, ce qui est un point positif. Cependant, il est vrai que certains aspects, comme les fenêtres, pourraient nécessiter un peu plus d'attention.
