Mona Lisa - accommodation in Méribel

La Grange de Marie was a perfect place to stay for the week. The 5 ensuite rooms are all excellent, with great balconies to enjoy a beer after the day's skiing, watching the sun go down over the mountains. The location is very good, just a short walk to the free shuttle bus and the closest lift and run, with the village centre only 10 minutes walk away down the hill. The place was very clean, and one minor issue with the gas supply was sorted out within half an hour, very impressive!

Where do I start?! The Chalet is perfect for 8 adults - plenty of space, 4 bathrooms, a large kitchen that was well appointed for the evenings we decided to cook in, and a nice cozy basement living/family room with comfy couches for lounging. There is a dedicated ski room with boot dryers and ski racks with tile floor so you can come in and out from your days on the slopes without making a mess! The beds were comfortable, and the washer & dryer made freshening up towels and clothes a breeze. The chalet is situated further from La Chaudanne (the main base area in Meribel) but is a 5-7 minute walk in ski boots (definitely uphill, but a good warmup to your ski day!) to a free shuttle (Line A) that runs every 15 minutes in the mornings & evenings and every 30 minutes midday and later at night. This made getting to the base area so easy every day.The hosts provide plenty of resort maps, which were so helpful in planning our days. Les 3 Valleés is obviously massive, but traversing the mountain takes quite a bit of planning if you've never been!Jean Noël personally greeted us at the Chalet upon our arrival, and walked us through the home and made himself available if we needed anything during our week's stay. You're a 5-minute walk to the SPAR grocery store, which has everything you'll need for your stay (we needed to buy handsoap, toilet paper/paper towels, etc) and is not overly expensive.Cannot say enough great things about this property and would love to return!!

Nice small hotel, friendly staff. Very good breakfast. Excellent location. I wish they had an outdoor hot tub but would go back in a flash.
