Dont know what the hotel rooms were like but the apartments where extremely basic and I mean basic only 2 hot rings to cook on and even that was a hit or miss no kettle just as well I packed travel kettle as I like my tea and coffee. Advertised sat tv but pls note this was local sat tv... More

Just back from a fantastic Ski trip to La Thuile in Italy. Stayed at the Planibel Apartments for the forth time, which is a testiment in its own. Theses apartments have everything you could want and are a very short walk away from the Ski lifts.

This is the second time we have stayed here. This time we were in a one bed apartment. Plenty of space for 4 of us although you do need to move the kitchen table around when working in the small kitchen area. The apartments are not 'posh' but they are perfectly adequate and good value for money & the location... More

I stayed at the Planibel Apartments for the second time in Jan 2013 with two friends in a type E apartment with 2 bed, 2 bath and kitchenette. The fabric of the building is quite poor and dilapidated in places and faculties are only just acceptable. Our room was equipped with microwave but unfortunately the flex didn’t reach to socket,...

My family (2 x adults, 2 x kids) stayed at the Planibel from 30th Dec 2012 to 6 Jan 2013 in a one-bedroom apartment (Type C) and found it to be quite spacious and well equipped for the money we paid. As others have mentioned, it is not luxurious, but is by no means as run down as some reviews... More

If you want to go skiing in La thuile, this is the place to stay. Could not be closer to the slopes, just across the road from the gondola and pistes. The rooms are a bit tired but most things work and if anything doesn't, maintenance offer a very efficient service. The self catering factor is not an issue due... More

Stayed at Planibel Apartments over Xmas 2012, 2 adults 1 child (12), booked through Crystal back in June who then reduced the prices as departure approached by £300 so wish we’d not bothered. Early Sunday morning flights from Doncaster to Turin, which is complete chaos particularly if you have equipment carriage, started our holiday with a 2 hour wait at... More

We travelled as a group of 7 and had two apartments - a three room apartment which consisted of two bedrooms and lounge (with two single sofa beds) and kitchen and a two room apartment which consisted of one bedroom and lounge/kitchen with sofabeds (which was a bit on the small side). We found the accommodation to be of a... More

Having had an extremely negative experience of self-catering at Tignes a few years ago we have steered clear of this type of accommodation since then preferring to go to catered chalets. It was with some trepidation therefore that we took advantage of a last minute deal through Crystal at a bargain price. We need not have worried: the Planibel apartments... More
