Saint-Mard-de-Vaux Vacations from ￥208,208

Basic, be prepared to make your own beds (linen provided but double bed’s flat sheet was too small), and clean the apartment. Limited toilet paper and no toiletries. Ski locker corridor, cold swimming pool. Good location, next to Flaine Forêt ski lifts. There is a spar and ski rental, esf ski lesson shop within 5 mins walk.

Ski slope in front of Hotel. Staff is just wonderful and kind.

No mention of the cleaning pack you are entitled to at check in - we had to ask (and only knew about it as we had stayed before). Would be good if bread/croissants could be delivered to the apartments rather than collecting at reception. Despite being told we could park anywhere in the covered parking we still had a note left on our car asking us to remove it - some better organisation would be good

I stayed 7 nights at the hotel on a room only basis, which had en suite facilities and a nice balcony. I had the buffet breakfast each day and an evening meal on 3 evenings. The hotel is a 15 min drive from Sallanches and 20 min from Domancy. The staff were friendly and food on offer was good, albeit eveing meals were extremely limited in choice, so if you're a vegan / vegetarian please check with the hotel before booking. There is a farm next door and the cow bells provided a nice jingle. Overall I would recommend the hotel based on it being a 2/3 start rating as it was value for money, albeit the evening meals were expensive @ 25 Euros a head for the choice available..
