“SOOO Nice.”

I cannot rave enough about this cozy, clean, family-owned/run establishment. Gorgeous views, quiet, HUGE room, super-sweet staff and great price sums it up. Beds were so comfy, kitchen, dining area and living room perfectly sized and stocked. Huge bathtub to relax in. Great, long balcony to dine on. Their restaurant is nonsmoking which is refreshing if you've been through the rest of Europe as a nonsmoker. Internet is iffy on a Mac but you'll spend your entire time outside anyway admiring this amazingly pristine town. It's undiscovered as far as average tourist destinations go and I'd like to see it stay that way! Close to other towns by train and bus, it was a break midway through our hectic and full European tour. I wish I could have stayed at least 4 more days. Before September, there are great activities like bicycle tours and hikes. The food was delicious and the people were SO kind they made Paris look like a bunch of unevolved neanderthals. Did I say it was clean? Environmentalists will shake their heads in disbelief of how far behind the U.S. is in that respect.

  • Liked — Quiet, kind and GORGEOUS.
  • Disliked — Zero complaints.

“Great accommodations for the price.”

Stayed at Ecureuil for a ski trip this winter. The proprietor offers a clean, comfortable room for a good price.

A few things to note: 1) Yes, the B&B has Internet access, but you can't get it from your room. You have to use an older Mac in the lobby, and the connection is slow. Expect to pay by the minute and to use a French-language keyboard and browser. 2) The rooms have double beds, but mine was two singles pushed together, rather than the typical queen. 3) Americans may find the rooms small; I thought they were decent for Europe.

Pros: 1) Ecureuil is within walking distance of the train and bus stops -- although you're walking away from the town center, not toward it. 2) The rooms have private bathrooms with super hot water -- nice after a long day on the slopes. 3) The operator is fantastic and speaks English well. 4) The breakfast that comes with the room fee is delicious. 5) There's a mud room for skis and boots that's locked every night, so your equipment doesn't take up valuable room space.

  • Liked — The service and cleanliness.
  • Disliked — The so-called Internet access.
  • Stayed March 2007, travelled with friends
