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.

Pedimos un apartamento en planta baja con terraza, porque llevábamos perro, nos lo dieron, pero la terraza una miniatura, no nos sirvió de nada, Para poder entrar en el apartamento antes, ya que la entrada es a las 17h y la salida a las 10h, nos hicieron pagar 75€ para poder entrar a las 11h, una barbaridad!!. ni que decir que en el apartamento no había ni un triste trapo de cocina, ni ningún producto de limpieza para hacer la limpieza final de la cocina que se exige porque sino no te devuelven los 300€ de fianza. Destacar que el parking está muy bien. Pero mi experiencia no ha sido muy buena y no lo recomendaría.

Tres bon sejour en mars 2025. Le mix entre un appartement et une chambre d'hotel avec les services correspondants. Tres bon point concernant le partenariat avec un loueur de ski dans l'etablissement et qui offre la possibilité de laisser le materiel en gardiennage dans le magasin du front de neige: Genial. Petit bemol sur la vue montagne à cause de la construction d'un batiment (piscine?) perturbant la vue. cela devrait etre signalé lors de la prise de reservation, la vue montagne étant plus chére. Cela m'incite a retirer un point à la note globale de l'établissement et au rapport qualite/prix.

Résidence très bien située à 5 min du front de neige. Possibilité de louer les skis sur place. Parking couvert.

Nous avons passé un bon séjour, mis à part la propreté du logement qui devrait être amélioré. La résidence est bien placée, nous sommes à moins de 10mn à pied des pistes de skis.
