Résidence Pierre & Vacances Premium Les Alpages de Reberty

I would have picked 'Good' but it is not an option, and I don't think the apartment made it in to 'Very Good'. We had a two-bedroom apartment for just 3 of us (me, my husband and our adult daughter) although in theory it would have slept 6 people. It was listed as having a bathroom and a shower room and a separate toilet, which it did, but we made the mistake of assuming that the bathroom would have a toilet, which it didn't. One loo between 3 is fine, but I don't think 1 between 6 would work very well! The furniture was good, and the beds comfortable. As is always the way with these apartments, there is very little extra space - especially in the bedrooms, and there is very little space for preparing food in the kitchenette. There were only 4 proper chairs for the dining table, and a couple of stools, but there were some folding chairs on the balcony so we were able to bring one in when other family members came for a meal. The balcony would have been lovely at a warmer time of year - it had a great view over the piste and also of the Thursday even,ing fireworks lower down the slopes. Very handy for the Reberty supermarket.

Nice appartment with balcony. Be aware you can not drive close to property to unload/load and use small trolley tru snow. We also had to carry up snow covered stairs to entrance, as not doable the staff on way out helped w stairs. Selected app for wellness and pool...but small, unkept and pool closed due to technical defect. No skipass sale at residence. Good bus service to center. Supermarket, skishop and resto close by.

We've just returned from a two-week ski holiday is Les Alpages, and enjoyed an excellent time there. Perhaps the most important thing is that the accommodation was precisely as advertised, so no unpleasant surprises and a few pleasant ones! We were later than average arrivals; it's a long drive from the UK, departing Rotterdam at 10 o'clock. and arriving nearly twelve hours later. We knew the office would be closed, but so did our booking agent, and all arrangements were in place as per the briefing prepared for us. We were soon in our apartment in Les Bluets, getting orientated and unpacking as quickly (and quietly as possible). We were only a couple, so the six-bed apartment was generous for us. For four, it would be perfectly comfortable with its two proper bedrooms one of which is en-suite with a shower and one larger standalone with a bath. For six, hmmm, OK for a family using a sofa bed but I would offer that six adults would need to be very comfortable in each other's company. But that is standard in our experience of French chalet accommodation. The kitchen was well appointed and equipped. Even an multi-use oven (a bit non-standard), with four hot rings and a microwave, just fine for us. Good dishwasher, substantial dining table and lots of storage space. In fact, while on storage space, lots throughout so it was easy to keep the apartment tidy. And a safe for security. On arrival, the apartment was clean, and mid-way though our stay, we had a cleaning service, sheet change and fresh towels. Our apartment had a large balcony, but as temperatures dropped to -23 degrees C, we didn't use it. Facing the mountain, we didn't have much of a view, whereas I assume those on the other side would have had amazing views of La Masse. But we were there to ski, not admire views. Car parking was straightforward; a short drive back down the hill to access secure underground parking, with lift access to a chalet adjacent to reception. Which brings me on the the real positives. The location is superb. For a start, it's in the Three Valleys and access to 600 km of world class skiing. I would assess it as ski-in / ski out. The boot room is adjacent to reception with individual lockers, though without boot heaters (we have our own, so took ours back to our apartment). From there, a side-door, and onto an access slip adjacent to La Ferme de Reberty. With skis on, straight down the Boyes piste; our normal start was up the Sunny Express lift (smaller queue than Les Bruyeres) and straight onto the mountain. At the end of the day, just slip off the Boyes piste and you can glide to the access door (except for the last few steps down). Or enjoy an end of the day drink in La Ferme. More positives. Right outside, a small but superbly stocked Sherpa supermarket. Adjacent to that, ski hire and an ESF office. Oh, and did I mention ESF lessons meet right on the edge of the Boyes piste, as close to the accommodation as possible? Also outside,

The apartment for 6 ppl only has 1 toilet which is completely unacceptable. The shower room had a broken handle and a light out, this was reported on the first day but was not rectified. The dishwasher was broken which was reported and was attempted to be fixed but wasn't really satisfactory. The apartment is a fine size but the lack of a second toilet and broken amenities means it really wasn't worth the money paid. Spa was fine but no one was ever there so I have no idea of you could get a massage or not.

Résidence et personnel très sympas. L'appartement avait une mezzanine (nous l'avions bien demandée à la réservation) et était très bien et propre. Les parties communes l'étaient aussi et la piscine était très bien (bien qu'assez froide un jour). Bien située la résidence permet de partir tout de suite sur les chemins de randonnée. D'autres belles balades sont à proximité. Seul bémol : le prix qui était -même en été et en juillet- un peu élevé selon notre expérience des résidences de montagne l'été.

Nous fréquentons cette résidence depuis plus d'une dizaine d'années. Tant les appartements que les services se sont fortement dégradés au fil des ans (ménage plus que sommaire, vaisselle cassée / manquante, couettes couvrant à peine le lit, petits meubles du séjour supprimés,...). Cette année nous avons eu très peu de chauffage en journée et pas de chauffage la nuit. Pourtant l'air froid s'infiltre toujours autant au niveau des fenêtres. Nous avons eu droit au défilé de techniciens, qui se sont rejeté la balle, et on nous a finalement prêté des chauffages d'appoint. Le plus robuste a tenu à peine plus de 24h. La limitation du chauffage dans les appartements serait une nouvelle politique de Pierre et Vacances pour faire des économies d'électricité, économies qui ne se répercutent bien évidemment pas sur la facture client. Cette résidence n'a plus rien de Premium, à l'exception de ses tarifs. A ne fréquenter que lors des semaines ensoleillées !
