This is the 4th time I've been to Vars for a winter holiday, for my partner it's his 8th or 9th. We love Vars, he boards, I ski. However, this year, our holiday was so much better than any we've been on before and the main reason for that was the amazing apartment we stayed in.
Communication with the owners was clear, accurate and very timely. They speak and write impeccable English, for me a non French speaker this was really useful.
The apartment itself is a new build in a really well designed and stylish 'complex'. It's furnished to a high standard and very comfortable. The sofa has plenty of cushions, the bed is large and really comfortable and you're provided with everything you could possibly need - good quality kitchen equipment (all new) and this is followed through with everything else in the apartment. It has a homely and spacious feel, rather than a place just kitted out for renting. There wasn't anything we needed, it's all there.
We weren't sure how far 'out' of town it would be - however, again due to clever design it's only a few mins walk. We walked in and out of town whenever required, carrying shopping back - and we had a car with us that we just didn't use.
Two of the most amazing things about this place:
The view from the balcony and the inside of the apartment - you look onto the mountains, it's very peaceful and you feel you are away from it all.
The ski in / out. Basically, you go to the ski locker, walk 5 meters pop on your skis and off you go down a gentle little slope and there's the chair lift. This is true ski in / out. We had lunch back at the apartment almost every day, it's that easy and quick.
We're already in conversation about booking for next year.
Ps the wifi was excellent, I had to work for a day and had no problems at all with it - and during the rest of the stay it was perfect.
Stayed for 10 days.
