Ski holidays in Andorra
Our initial wishes for a vacation in Andorra were simple - not far from the ski lift uphill, modest accommodation (considered apartments or a hotel), snow on the slopes, silence and mountains. Initially, our choice was on a different hotel. But at the last moment we were offered apartments Solana de Ransol in El Tarter (from the hotel Segle XX). What to tell you friends. This hotel with apartments is not just a good choice, but a super offer! Firstly, you can say next to the ski lifts - a telecabin from Tarter, you can walk about 1 km on foot, or you can use the transfer service from the hotel (free of charge). You need to sign up for a transfer today for tomorrow - at the same time, you choose a time convenient for you. Near the place where the minibus is served for transfer from the hotel, there are storage rooms for ski equipment. That is, you came, put on helmets / boots / took skis and went up the hill, they met you from the hill and took you home. We did not expect such high service from a 3 star hotel. We lived in an apartment (apartment). What can I say. . some compliments. . The apartment is equipped with everything necessary for life: iron, ironing board, TV (although we didn’t watch it), Wi-Fi (although it was slow, but it was !! ), kitchen utensils - from a coffee spoon to a juicer for oranges, pressure cookers, saucepans, toaster, electric kettle, electric coffee maker, cups, saucers, plates, knives, forks, etc. . We stayed there for 11 nights. After 5 days, we replaced bed linen and towels with clean ones. And since the apartments had to be cleaned by ourselves - this condition is often encountered when renting apartments, unlike many other apart hotels, here we had a pantry where we stored all the devices necessary for cleaning - new sponges for washing dishes of various types, matches ( although there was an electric stove), dishwashing liquid, a sweeper brush, a dustpan, a basin, a bucket with a wringer and a mop. The windows of the apartment overlooked the mountain with the forest! An indescribable feeling of beauty in the morning drinking aromatic coffee and watching the colors of the morning sky. And in the evenings it seemed to us that lanterns were burning on the mountain, and these were stars - So low they were. The place is simply chic for people who want to take a break from the bustle of the city! The hotel is a little away (1km) from the central square of Tarter and fortunately there was no noise and fuss. We arrived on the last two days of the Carnival. When there are carnival processions, then all the youth are walking. And I must say the youth there is very noisy, they love and know how to have fun, but we did not hear this noise. We slept well and no one bothered us. Below (go down the hill on which Solana de Ransol apartments are located) there is the only tasting supermarket in Andorra Caves Manacor - which offers a wide selection of locally produced delicacies from wild animals (wild boar, deer, hare, ducks) - the widest selection of sausages, jamons , cheeses, alcohol, etc. of local production. Which offer to taste first. Many vacationers go to this store exclusively for tastingsJ) portions of tastings are generously laid out and pouredJ. You can write a lot more about Andorra. But it is better to see once and find something of your own in this mountainous principality. We are very grateful to the host operator ITRAVEX for their attentive and sensitive attitude. They offer discounted ski passes, give various coupons for gifts and worry about how we settled down and whether we need something. . We were very surprised by this. Because everyone writes just that they were deceived there, they cheated there. Everything turned out just the opposite! Great service, great snow, well-equipped Grandvalira pistes. Some thanks and compliments! Thank you all for organizing a great holiday!
