Bright and spacious apartment with beautiful view and large balcony

One of our favourite apartments in the Alps. Spacious. Quiet. Well fitted out with all you need. And lovely hosts. We hope to visit again.

For the second year we've been there for three weeks and for the second yeareverything was perfect.what could we say more ?

We stayed with Tijmen and Karin with our 2 children of 8 and 11 years and an excellent week. The apartment is very comfortable, clean and has everything you need. The owners live in the same building and are there when you need them (advice about walks etc) but give you all privacy. We really appreciated their hospitality The environment is beautiful: many different walks from the apartment or with short drive. Even in peak season mainly Italian tourism. We consider coming back, eventhough we never goon holiday to the same place Thank you Karin and Tijmenfor this wonderful stay!

Super stay ..accommodation was super..lots of space and Karin could not have been more helpful..C

The apartment is spacious and well furnished ...... a little bit of luxury in a skiing apartment. Karin and Tijmen could not have been better hosts ..... very welcoming, answering all queries but never intruding. They even bought our daughter a birthday present! Great place to stay and we will be back

We had a wonderful weeks stay - the apartment was very roomy and light and equipped with everything we needed. Karin and Simon were extremely helpful and the apartment was spotless. A perfect base for our family holiday. Thank you!

Lovely apartment, contemporary in style and even more spacious than the photos suggest - recently refurbished, so all nearly new. Great kitchen, useful room downstairs for skis and boots, extremely helpful owners who live onsite. Parking was easy. The village is less than a mile away and has easy parking, enough of a selection of shops and restaurants and a good bar. The Valtournenche ski lift is only a few hundred metres up from the village and has a decent hire shop with onsite lockers, bar and an efficient bubble lift. Wi-fi worked well enough and the boys liked Netflix subscription that the apartment has. Will return!

Rooms of the apartment are large, including the children's bedroom and living room. Nicely renovated to a high standard, ski boot warmer in basement, fire worked nicely, lots of lovely clean towels and bed linen to high standard. Kitchen equipment of a high and modern standard. If renting in winter and hire car from an Italian airport and forecast to snow during your stay or just before than you should insist request winter [mountain and snow - M&S] tyres from the hire car agency, it is not standard in Italy (unlike all of Switzerland) but the road to the apartment - if snowy - is not that well treated and all the locals have winter tyres fitted. We walked into town one day but generally drove as during our stay loads of snow. Chains will get you up and down but are a (unnecessary) hassle. Only a short drive to Salette lift with ski hire and storage at the bottom. The apartment is far better than normal ski accommodation and Valtournenche is a lovely, quite and unspoilt village - actually the original village where the first attempts to climb the Matterhorn were made from, although this hasn't been exploited for tourism. Google Whymper (posh English gent) vs Jean-Antoine Carrel (a hunter and mountain guide from Valtournenche) - 4 died on Whymper's ascent from Zermatt vs no deaths or injuries from Carrel's team a few days later from the harder Italian side. A lovely town square with memorial plaques to various mountain guides through the ages. Wonderful Xmas lights in general. The village has enough restaurants and pizza places and cafes to suffice. We didn't need any ski school for any of our children as they all ski well {ages 9 and 11}, I think perhaps available but more limited than Cervinia. All in all highly recommended for a ski touring holiday into Cervinia or Zermatt :)

Property and hosts were both better than we expected. Tijmen and Karin were wonderful hosts. They were fast to respond to questions leading up to our trip, were attentive during the stay and accommodating with our departure. They were were quick to offer suggestions for hikes and restaurants in the area and also provided hiking maps (serious plus for us!). The property is accurate to the listing and is very bright and spacious. We cannot say enough positive things about the hosts. They love the area and they were excited to share their love of it with us on our vacation. You will be hard-pressed to find better hosts or a better value than this place Thank you Tijmen and Karin for making our stay as great as it was. We hope to return some day!

We had an amazing time in Paquier. It was the very best accommodation, hosts, scenery and hikes. The apartment was large and bright with a spectacular view of the valley and nearby glaciers. All the necessities were there when we arrived and it is located very close to the small town where we enjoyed a nice coffee and croissant every morning. The hosts were very friendly and recommended us several beautiful hikes. Our biggest recommendations to this place - we miss it already.
