The Chalet Angelus was warm, comfortable, quite, with amazing views. The chalet was one of the original chalets built in Meribel, it has character but it is tired and needs upgrading. It can sleep 12, I would not want to stay with 12 but it would be excellent value if you have lots of kids. Ideally 7 adults or 4 adults with 5 children would work well. It has nice double, a single, a funny twin room and a 4 bedded bunk room. The hot water worked well and the shower and baths were good but tired. The kitchen is functional, no oven but a microwave, hob, big fridge and dishwasher. A downside for us was the amount of tut around the chalet belonging to probably very elderly owners but some may say it was charming. Obviously a much loved family chalet.

To access the chalet with you bags you need to walk across the piste by the Helios Hotel and negotiate some steps, which can be icy so not suitable for those infirm or unfit. A good walk to the shops and taking out the rubbish bags is a 400m round trip, (but do it when you go out to the shop also you can get groceries delivered) We did not find this a problem, the up side being it is virtually ski in, ski out.

Communication with the owner was excellent.

In summary, this is a good value, comfortable but basic chalet with great views and easy access to skiing. If you want luxury and all mod cons and easy access on foot this is not for you.

Would I book this chalet again? Yes.
