Sowell Résidences Pierre Blanche

Well appointed and furnished apartments, close to the slopes and main lifts, it fulfilled all of our needs and expectations on all levels and I would definitely recommend as an affordable ski option, in a premium location.

Location is awesome. Les Menuires is one of the best places to ski in the world, and Sowell is very well placed, you can simply ski to the center of the village and take any cabin from there and buy your ski passes. Regarding the apartments, you feel like being in the Soviet Union. No interest in making you feel like you are in holidays or in a charming place. It is simply horrible, no decoration at all, really looks like Soviet Union. It is shameful that no investments are made to hire a person with taste and make the apartments cozy. You need to bring your sheets and towels to the reception yourself, and clean the bathroom and kitchen. There is a nice swimming pool, great for kids. We won't come back because we don't like the attitude of being offered a place where there is nothing made for you to like it. Maybe fine for young people used to party and not caring about the place they sleep, but families and couples should find better. Not much is needed to have some taste, but willingness to do so is necessary. Staff is very nice. Cheers !

HORRIBLE!! Spent hours waiting outside in the cold (together with numerous other guests) to be able to checkin due lack of staff. Building is next to the piste but getting there takes quite a while. Ski room can only host two people at the time but only one can sit down. So everybody takes their skis/boots into their room. Noise on the corridor in the morning...... Apartment itself is small (as expected) with a sleeping couch (NOT a real bed!) that is soooooo uncomfortable that we had to put the matrass on the floor. However because of an airdraft through the leaking windows we had to make some modifications in the room layout. That helped. Other users complained about cleanliness.. In our case it was somewhat acceptable. (not excellent..) Anyway.. i won't go there again.. Parking lot seems big but is still too small for all cars. Result is a nice walk if you come too late to find a spot for your car. (Police removes non correct parked cars.)
