During a cycling tour of the Alps, I stayed at Le Chateau for two nights. It is an amazing place to stay. The bedroom I was in was a great size and the en suite seemed brand new and was spotless. French windows opened out to an amazing view down the valley. I had access to a large private day room with sofas and chairs and TV. Large dining room table to spread out maps on. Secure garage for bike.
Just cross the road and the river and you're on the edge of the town with a short walk up to the centre which had 3 great value restaurants.
Hosts could not have done anymore for me and I even got my cycling kit washed!

We have just come back from a ski trip and stayed with 'The Ingles' in their fabulous house. Every day we visited a different ski field all within about 40mins.

It was great to have a new adventure every day and Phil has excellent knowledge about all the fields and what they have to offer for different abilities.

We really enjoyed staying at 'Le Chateau' and found it a much nicer, roomier option rather than going back to a pokey chalet for the same money.

I know the owners so cannot pretend to be a total stranger. The rooms are huge, comfortable and spotless with lovely en suite and wonderful views. Other guests also appreciated the freedom to use the garden all day and the market in Guillestre provided delicious picnics. The lounge and dining area is very user friendly and there is plenty of information on the recources in the area. The walking in the Queyras is delightful and Phil and Emma are full of useful information about where to go, for all standards of skier, walker, climber or cyclist. The weather is also just what you need on holiday. The Tour de France goes past the front door some years and is a very exciting time. Go and see for yourself.

After years of riding in the same spots in the Alpes (mainly the Portes du Soleil) what a find! Some of the best cross-country riding we've ever done (thanks to Phil's local knowledge and GPS assisted trail finding) and plenty to do besides (climbing, hiking, via ferrata, etc). Phil and Emma were the perfect hosts and we'll be back next summer if not before!
