Chalet très agréable comme s'il venait d'être rénové, au calme dans un petit lotissement excentré. Le salon est spacieux et la cuisine bien équipée. L'histoire de la belle rénovation de ce chalet nous a particulièrement touché.La vue du salon sur la montagne est très jolie.

#### Chalet agréable et bien équipé
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable dans ce chalet rénové avec goût et bien agencé. Les équipements sont complets, le poêle à bois est particulièrement agréable au retour du ski.Le hameau est petit et calme, avec une navette à 100m qui permet de rejoindre facilement la station. Endroit idéal pour se ressourcer, tout en étant proche des grandes stations.

#### Chalet magnifique et très confortable
Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine de vacances, mes 3 enfants, leurs amis et moi (8 personnes). Le chalet est magnifique et très bien situé, dans un charmant hameau juste en dessous de la station. La navette à 2 pas est parfaite pour ne pas toucher la voiture et partir en tenue de ski ! La station est formidable, et idéale pour les amateurs de hors-pistes. Merci à Benjamin pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité. Le chalet est très bien équipé et fonctionnel... Nous reviendrons !

#### Ski + balades en famille
Le chalet est super Cosi et bien chauffé. Les étages permettent de s'échauffer avant d'aller skier ou randonner. Tout est propre et moderne a l'intérieur. Petit plus, le chauffe chaussures de ski avant le départ sur les pistes. Il est dans un petit hameau près de ste foy station, super petite station familiale et peu fréquentée et a 20 min d'une liaison pour les arcs (pour ceux qui aiment les grands domaines et plus de monde) et 20 min de tigne / val d'Isère. Bref, voiture conseillée, mais bien placé et a portée de tout rapidement. Nous avons adoré.

#### Beautiful mountain home
We enjoyed a wonderful week staying in Benjamin’s home. Conveniently located by car for many different ski areas ( Tignes, La Rosiere, Les Arc’s as well as Ste Foy itself). House itself is beautifully renovated, comfortable and well equipped and the views across the valley are spectacular. Overall a lovely place to relax and we would highly recommend. Be aware there is no WjFi at present.

#### Une bonne adresse à recommander aussi l‘été
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour début août à Maisons Dessous. Nous avons vraiment apprécié de résider dans un chalet dans un petit hameau avec de charmants voisins qui nous ont donné plein de bons conseils, plutôt que dans un appartement impersonnel à la station de Sainte Foy. La semaine est passée trop vite entre les très belles randos à faire (entre autres le lac du Retour et le magnifique vallon de la Louïe Blanche) et la descente de l’Isère en rafting, un grand moment ! La description du chalet est conforme en tout point. Seuls bémols, l’absence de wifi pour les ados et de terrasse pour profiter de l‘extérieur (il n‘y a qu‘un tout petit balcon), mais le propriétaire nous a dit qu’il y réfléchissait pour l‘avenir.

#### Très charmant en agréable maison
Décoré avec goût, moderne et au même temps montagnard. les chambres sont sur trois niveaux qui donne un peu de espace privée . la région est super , on peut aller skier a ste foy, mais aussi très facile, aller à Villaroger pour le ski Les Arcs. à Villaroger on a plein de parking gratuit. le propriétaire est très gentil, et répond à toutes les questions. Seul point: il n'y a qu'un petit supermarché à st foy, et sinon, il faut descendre à Seez, pour trouver un bon boucher.

#### New Year at Cristal Dark
This chalet has everything that you could wish for. It is charming and traditional and at the same time has every modern convenience to make your stay easy and comfortable. It can easily cater for 6+ guests as it is very well planned with good storage, lovely space to cook, eat and relax and lots of hot water. The hamlet is quiet but we found the neighbours very friendly and helpful. The ski back might not suit beginners but the bus service was convenient and reliable and no distance to walk. The information provided was fantastic - saved us a lot of time as we wanted to book guides etc. It was perfect in every way and we will definitely re book Thank you + the photos of the children were very cute !!!
