Chalet Motta

La posizione della struttura è davvero strategica nel paesino in cui si trova in quanto vicinissima alla piazza centrale e a tutti i servizi come tabacchi, bar, minimarket, parcheggi, ecc. Clara, la proprietaria, è stata disponibilissima malgrado il poco preavviso nella prenotazione.

Tutto perfetto, nulla da migliorare. Anzi consiglio a chiunque la camera al 3° piano perché, malgrado le scale, godi di una vista stupenda di prima mattina

Nothing!

1) Foor on 2nd floor small bedroom collapsed, due to this my daughter stepped into the room & fell hitting the bed. She had heavy bruising across her shin & refused to sleep in the room until repaired. The worst part was the owners acknowledged they knew the floor was in a dangerous condition & did not repair this or warn us in advance. 2) In 2 bedrooms there were nails sticking out the floor. In our room this was approx 10mm high & caused a nasty cut in husband's foot, resulting in losing 0.5 day skiing & the following day being in pain. 3) In the same room as the hole, & after the floor repair, my other daughter caught her foot on another nail, ripping her ski socks. Fortunately her foot was only scratched! 4) On our way we were advised by owner that they would send a map showing how to find the accommodation, this was not received. So at 05:45hrs we spent 1 hour walking round trying to find the apartment & only found it by chance. 5) Keys were not available to lock the apartment. We had to request. 6) As a result of #1, my daughter tried sleeping in top floor small room. Apart from no window, the bed was unstable & came apart! She decided to sleep in kitchen area, but the bed base was bent & so also useless. 7) Kitchen window blind by door fell off. 8) Dishwasher was filthy & had not been emptied for a long time as utensils that had been left in the bottom of the dishwasher were mouldy. 9) Some cupboards were filthy including one had mouldy bread! 10) Shower on 1st floor was unusable as either shower or bath as the shower flooded the kitchen! There was never enough hot water for any kind of bath. General condition of all bathrooms was old & 'tatty'! 11) None of the bedroom doors closed properly, hence very little privacy.

We had a fabulous stay in Chalet Motta. We loved the location in the Italian Alpine town of Valtournenche which has a super ski area and us very well connected to Cervinia too. The accommodation was very clean and well appointed with everything you would need. The kitchen was especially well equipped. There is a dishwasher and washing machine. The beds were comfortable and we liked the fact that all the rooms had dressing gowns and slippers for all guests. The bathrooms had lovely products for washing. The hosts were extremely helpful too.

There wasn't anything we didn't like! We all loved Chalet Motta! We wouldn't hesitate to rebook! The only minor points to mention for future guests are that there are quite a lot of wooden stairs, particularly up to the top floor. They were fine for our group but those with mobility issues may struggle. Also, the photos on Booking.com show some bunk beds but these are no longer in the accommodation. The top floor has 1 x double bed and 1 x single bed. The bunk beds have been removed.

Great location, fantastic characterful property in really quiet spot in the centre of Valtournenche. Wood panelled throughout, so you do hear other guests moving about, but that's to be expected with the age and design of property. Nice modern kitchen with quality appliances. Good communication with owner during stay.
