About this property

Spacious chalet for those who appreciate the 'great outdoors'. 2-18 persons

  • During these challenging times, La Source is ideal for that get away holiday with friends and family and 'escape' to recharge into the country - clean air, no pollution, minimal traffic, and peaceful village location. Visit for a few days or longer?
    Close to Alpe d’Huez, France. La Source chalet is owned and managed by Michael Baldwin – ski enthusiast, mountaineer, cyclist and hotelier. The chalet is a converted 220 year old traditional Oisans stone and wooden chalet south facing with panoramic views of the surrounding area. It has been renovated to an extremely high standard, keeping the charm and character of the building whilst creating modern facilities. A new extension was completed in 2009 to provide a further 2 modern and stylist bedrooms with Italian shower rooms. Within the extension on the lower ground floor is a modern professional kitchen and spacious storage areas. A large south facing decked area with an attached sauna compliments the interior of the chalet for sun lounging, Al fresco eating and general view gazing! There is plenty of parking close to the chalet and a free village navette bus will take you to the ski lifts - 300 metres away. During the summer months La Source is close to all the famous mountain passes, including the tour de France route up to Alpe d'Huez. We have a secure large cycle shed with plenty of tools and stands for cycle maintenance.
    La Source is available for self catering - up 18 beds available over 9 bedrooms, but we also offer B&B and demi - pension/ half board arrangements for smaller groups. Please make contact and we will advise you on how we can provide the flexibility in our arrangements to maximize your stay with us

A magic place

We spent a week at LaSource and absolutely loved it.A beautiful and very comfortable old chalet with magnificent views over the mountains, right in the middle of a small and authentic village linked to the ski domain of Alpe dHuez without the hussle and bustle of a big resort. Michael's hospitality is great, he is also an amazing cook.He made us feel at home right away.Highly recommended

L'espace salon, salle à manger et très bien aménagé et nous a permis de passer d'excellentes soirée tous ensemble.Je recommande ce chalet

Belles vacances de Noël en famille

Chalet très confortable et parfaitement adapté pour les grands groupes, beaucoup d’espaces différents, cuisine bien équipée et tout ce qu’il faut pour de grandes tablées. Nous avons bien profité de la terrasse ensoleillée avec une belle vue sans vis à vis. Très bon accueil de Michael.

Super séjour

Séjour très agréable dans un très beau chalet, chaleureux et convivial. Idéal pour des grands groupes (nous étions 18). Michael, notre hôte, nous a merveilleusement accueilli. Petit point d'attention tout de même : le chalet est à une dizaine de minutes des pistes de ski, rien d'insurmontable tout de même. Il y a une navette (pour 8 personnes).

Superbe chalet dans une ravissante station familiale, reliée au vaste domaine de l'Alpe d'Huez

Superbe chalet, très spacieux. L'espace de vie est chaleureux, donnant sur une terrasse à la vue époustouflante. Cuisine bien équipée, grande buanderie. Chambres à la literie très confortable et nombreuses salles d'eau et de bain. Notre groupe familial a particulièrement apprécié la station-village de Villard-Reculas, très calme et truffée de charme, beaucoup d'itinéraires de balades et d'espaces de jeu pour les plus petits. Pour les plus grands, accès aux pistes à pied et liaison très rapide au vaste domaine de l'Alpe d'Huez. Michaël est un hôte très disponible, accueil sans faute. Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir!

Une Famille à la montagne

Trois générations aiment se retrouver chaque année dans un même lieu choisi ensemble. La montagne l'hiver avec ses activités de grand air et les longues soirées de jeux de discussions et détentes. La mer pour l'été dans le même esprit. Le choix de Villard-reculas a été parfait, avec ce grand chalet chez Michael, nous avons pu tous vivre d'excellents moments de ski pour grands et petits et de découvertes de ce très joli village accueillant. Michael a emménagé ce beau chalet de manière telle que nous avons pu y vivre facilement et très agréablement à 20 personnes. L'emplacement est idéal avec une vue magnifique et un calme très apprécié. Bravo

Vacances de Noël en famille au top

Un chalet idéal pour des fêtes de Noël en famille. Chacun avait son espace, dont 4 jeunes adultes qui avaient adopté l’appartement du haut. Nombre de salles de bains hyper appréciable quand on est 18 ! Et ne parlons pas du sauna après le ski, un délice. Super cuisine pro aussi très appréciable avec tout le matériel imaginable (dont Super robot pour la pâtisserie), vaisselle très généreuse... La pièce à vivre est très bien meublée, chaleureuse et spacieuse, Michael avait même pensé au sapin ! Le village est vraiment charmant, loin du trafic et de l’agitation d’une grande station, mais les pistes Seulement à 5 minutes à pied pour rejoindre L’Alpe d’Huez. Michael est Un hôte disponible et hyper accueillant. On ne pouvait pas rêver mieux pour un Noël en famille ! Encore merci !

Very homely!

We stayed at the La Source over Christmas - a family group of 13 adults + a baby. It was absolutely perfect! The living room space is super cosy and has direct access to the huge terasse with an astonishing view over the valley. The rooms are nice and tidy - some with access to own bathroom, others share bathrooms. Well-equipped kitchen; we decided to cook everything ourselves, but I am sure Michael can serve some nice food as well, if that option is chosen. Michael is the perfect host - very friendly and helped us with ski-rentals, driving us around etc. We can highly recommend the place! ...only thing is, we hope that not too many hear about it ;-) We will return sometime!

Perfect location for biking tour

Staying 13 adults at Michaels wonderfull chalet for biking Alpe d'Huez was absolutly perfect - the chalet is huge, charming, wonderful atmosphere, best mountain view ever seen and you have all the biking routes at the front door. Michael was a perfect host both before and during our stay - sending all relevant informations, welcoming us and serving SO good local french/english menues. For a large family or a group of 10-14 friends I highly recommend the charlet. Peter Stougaard, Copenhagen September 2017
