The apartment had everything we needed and more than we expected - including a washing machine, tumble dryer, oven/grill, 4 ring hob, fondue and raclette sets, and much more!
With 5 of us & ski gear, we were not sure if the apartment would be big enough. However there was plenty of room for us and the equipment. There was a ski locker room downstairs which also meant we didn't need to take our skis up to the apartment.
The owner was super helpful - as bed linens & towels are not provided, I was struggling to work out how to transport them from the UK. Mme Desplanques initially provided me with details of a local laundry service that provides linens, then when I said we'd be arriving after the shop shut, Mme Desplanques arranged the linens to be delivered to the apartment before we arrived. This worked perfectly. Further, M. Desplanques called us part way through the holiday to check that everything was ok.
Depending on how fast you walk (in your ski boots!) you can walk to the nearest lift in 5-10 minutes, or walk part way then ski to a different lift.
There are lots of restaurants near by, including one that does take away pizza. There's also a supermarket and a lovely bakers, both about 3 mins from the apartment.
The décor of the apartment is presumably very much the personal tastes of the owners. Not my personal taste, however that has little or no impact on the accommodation or our enjoyment of the holiday.
One little thing that needs to be fixed - the toilet door lock gets jammed! We had a 16 year old stuck in there for a while in the middle of the night... If you can convince your kids not to use the lock, then there's no problem :-)
All in all, if we go back to Tignes we would definitely use this accommodation again.
