Nous avons passé une excellente semaine de Noël dans le chalet de la Source qui avait été décoré d'un très beau sapin de Noël pour l'occasion.Mr Baldwin est un hôte très accueillant et attentionné, a l'écoute des besoins et disponible pour toute question durant le séjour.Le chalet est très confortable et très bien équipée nous étions 16 participants à ce séjour et tout le monde avait son espace personnel. L'espace salon, salle à manger et très bien aménagé et nous a permis de passer d'excellentes soirée tous ensemble.Je recommande ce chalet

Super séjour
Séjour très agréable dans un très beau chalet, chaleureux et convivial. Idéal pour des grands groupes (nous étions 18).
Michael, notre hôte, nous a merveilleusement accueilli.
Petit point d'attention tout de même : le chalet est à une dizaine de minutes des pistes de ski, rien d'insurmontable tout de même. Il y a une navette (pour 8 personnes).

Superbe chalet dans une ravissante station familiale, reliée au vaste domaine de l'Alpe d'Huez
Superbe chalet, très spacieux. L'espace de vie est chaleureux, donnant sur une terrasse à la vue époustouflante. Cuisine bien équipée, grande buanderie. Chambres à la literie très confortable et nombreuses salles d'eau et de bain.
Notre groupe familial a particulièrement apprécié la station-village de Villard-Reculas, très calme et truffée de charme, beaucoup d'itinéraires de balades et d'espaces de jeu pour les plus petits. Pour les plus grands, accès aux pistes à pied et liaison très rapide au vaste domaine de l'Alpe d'Huez.
Michaël est un hôte très disponible, accueil sans faute.
Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir!

Une Famille à la montagne
Trois générations aiment se retrouver chaque année dans un même lieu choisi ensemble. La montagne l'hiver avec ses activités de grand air et les longues soirées de jeux de discussions et détentes. La mer pour l'été dans le même esprit.
Le choix de Villard-reculas a été parfait, avec ce grand chalet chez Michael, nous avons pu tous vivre d'excellents moments de ski pour grands et petits et de découvertes de ce très joli village accueillant.
Michael a emménagé ce beau chalet de manière telle que nous avons pu y vivre facilement et très agréablement à 20 personnes. L'emplacement est idéal avec une vue magnifique et un calme très apprécié. Bravo

Vacances de Noël en famille au top
Un chalet idéal pour des fêtes de Noël en famille. Chacun avait son espace, dont 4 jeunes adultes qui avaient adopté l’appartement du haut. Nombre de salles de bains hyper appréciable quand on est 18 ! Et ne parlons pas du sauna après le ski, un délice. Super cuisine pro aussi très appréciable avec tout le matériel imaginable (dont Super robot pour la pâtisserie), vaisselle très généreuse... La pièce à vivre est très bien meublée, chaleureuse et spacieuse, Michael avait même pensé au sapin ! Le village est vraiment charmant, loin du trafic et de l’agitation d’une grande station, mais les pistes Seulement à 5 minutes à pied pour rejoindre L’Alpe d’Huez. Michael est Un hôte disponible et hyper accueillant. On ne pouvait pas rêver mieux pour un Noël en famille ! Encore merci !
