Hotel Eliova l'Eau Vive, Шатель, Франция

The staff were very friendly, some spoke less English than others but with my limited French we managed to get by without any issues. The rooms were simple but clean with small balconies outside. The hotel itself was spotless. Morning buffet breakfast was more than adequate for a day on the slopes. Evening meals were a set 3 course menu of generously portioned local dishes and all were amazing. The bar was quiet and closed at around 10pm (we were too tired to stay up much later than this most nights) but Linga itself is generally quiet so would suggest the short 2.5KM walk into Chatel if nightlife is required. The hotel has a snow-equipment room also with direct access onto the street which was convenient upon returning or leaving. Linga Gondola is maybe 100M up the street. It was a great week and I would definitely stay there again.

The Hotel Eliova was fantastic - especially the food. Big selection for breakfast of top quality foods. The 3 course evening meal was also great. It was a set menu in the evening but what we had was very good quality. All the staff were friendly and helpful. It was nice to relax in the bar with a drink and free nibbles and just go into supper when we chose. All super. :)
