Chalet Cretaz

Chalet molto curato, molto pulito, accogliente e situato nel borgo storico del Paese.

Nulla.

Klein, kompakt 2 Bäder Feeling eines traditionellen Hauses

Idyllic cabin in a good location, everything was clean. Works well with 4 people.

It came a bit as a surprise that you need to leave the car in 100m away from the cabin.

The location is in very calm and authentic area. Parking is reached by 1-2 min walk. Chalet is nicely equiped with all you need, a lot of dishes, glasses, cups, big table and some extra chairs. Very comfortable beds, very cozy living zone near fireplace. The host was very helpful and quick to respond to any question or issue.

Really small trash bin. No instructions how to recycle, or how to use fireplace. You have to bring your toilet paper.

Lovely location, in nice cobbled area of village. Charming and cosy

The chalet is very olde worlde (in a good way!) - it is is in a beautiful old part of Valtournenche and was so incredibly peaceful, we looked forward to wandering back down to it at the end of our day's skiing. The car is parked only a minute's walk away, so it really is very easy. Massimo, the owner, was waiting for us and showed us around the chalet. He was always on hand to answer any questions - he really could not have been nicer nor more helpful. He recommended lots of great restaurants, the best places to park for skiing and was quick to offer advice and help when the chalet was a bit cold on our first night. He was also able to recommend a taxi when we got stuck due to bad weather in Cervinia after they closed the lift back to Valtourneche - A brilliant host. The chalet was incredibly conveniently located for everything in Valtournenche. There is loads of crockery and cutlery, a Nespresso machine as well as a traditional stove top coffee maker, and a dishwasher which was fantastic. We loved relaxing in the chalet so much that we chose to eat in most evenings and play card games. The chalet is really well-equipped, a great shower, super cosy and loads of space for a family of 4.

The only thing that could have improved our stay at beautiful Chalet Cretaz would be better beds/mattresses and perhaps more than one pillow per person (not sure if that is a British thing?). Very minor niggles - there were no tea towels/dish cloths provided for drying up and the kitchen lacked smaller sharp knives, egg cups (me being British again?!), an oven proof dish that would be large enough for 4 people would have been very useful. Otherwise I really could not fault Chalet Cretaz.

amazing chalet, cosy and charming, with fireplace, located into the old burg of Valtournanche. The typical mountain house all around here remind me the village of Harry Potter. I can alsi imaging how beautiful can be during summer time. Host very friendly and professional, always ready to give me information about restarunt and nice place. Absolutely one of the best house I’ve ever been. Recommended!
