Des Alpes 2

Location was good

No wifi, had to collect and return keys, lots of additional costs added after the up-front cost of the flat. (€130 more for 7 days).

The location is nice, there is sauna inside and one of the sofa seats extends so it is like an armchair. The kitchen is spacey, well equiped and has a great induction stove and a big fridge.

1. The temperature of the apartment is set by the building owner and the time slots in which the heating is on is set by the agency. The temperature was set to circa 20 degrees and could not be changed. The agency told us that that is the recommendation of the region Val di Fassa, but we were not informed about that in advance (we would have surely picked another apartment in that case) - when we returned from our skiing day (-10 degrees outside), there were 19 degrees in the apartment. One important thing on skiing vacation is being at least warm enough, so you do not have to wear 6 layers of clothes to be mildly warm inside. The other thing is that one has to rest well, which brings us to the next point. 2. Beds were, contrary to what is advertised, not bigger than normal (more than 2m). The single beds are 200cm long, but are very narrow. The bed for 2 is 140x190 at best, so you can imagine that two adults can hardly sleep well on such a small bed. 3. The bathroom is very small and the shower drain does not work very well, so you might make a little flood if you are not careful and shower for more than a few minutes. 4. The ski room is not actually a ski room, it is more of a small room in a basement (see the picture) with random things in it. The ski boots will be cold in the morning. 5. There is 50x150cm closet in the living room with "PRIVATE" written on it. You can not access it, it just sits there in the living room taking up important space. 6. They will charge you 100EUR for the final cleaning, which is absurd considering the size of the apartment. 7. You have to bring your own sheets and towels, or you can borrow them for 18EUR per person. To sum up - do not go here on winter vacation, there are dozens better apartments in the region for less money.
