About this property
"Alps of light", Clarée Valley, on the border between France and Italy.
Close (11kms) to the ski resorts of Mont-Genèvre and Serre Chevalier, the "Béouriou" is however at the crossroads of cross-country ski trails which run all along the Clarée valley (from La Vachette to Nevache) and even beyond ... So much for winter.
But beyond winter - and for its light (blessed!) , - summer for its freshness (too long desired!) , but in all seasons, because the Clarée valley really deserves its "international" reputation for being one of the valleys that has known better than others (this in the whole of the Alpine arc!), keep its authenticity, this base point in Val des Près will come to you as a "haven". The village is nearby: it is beautiful, it is intact; it is in the middle of the valley, that of Clarée: intact, too. The apartment is functional: it will leave you there; you will be at the forefront, forgotten about the rest. It offers enough space for 4 beds, in the sense of 4 adults; but it can accommodate 6 beds, depending on occasional or family configurations. It is part of a collective residence, while being a little detached from it, reserving privileged access to the river (see attached photos). Bathroom (with bathtub), microwave, "cable TV", Hi Fi system, offer a good "base camp" for gaining strength, going on an adventure ... and changing one's mind. The mountain is there, all around, and who knows how to take it! On the border between France and Italy, Val des Près is at the same time far from the world - it is simply above! - but it also belongs to it: the museum of "Castello de Rivoli", one of the five museums of contemporary art which counts in Europe, is just an hour and ten away away, and likewise all the Italian foothills. How to resist? Pass the mountains, breathe the change of air, this is one of the pleasures that this place will offer you ... but from its own air! That of its untouched valley, caught between the Oisans massif (and its majestic Meije) and the slow descent, via the Val de Susa, to neighboring Italy, its plains.

The place is quite nice but one has to understand that although not mentioned in the listing, you need to take towels and linen with you to stay at this place.
Hôte disponible et à l'écoute. Location très bien située.

Nous avons séjourné 1 semaine et étions un couple avec 1 enfant de 8 ans. Tout était parfait. L’emplacement, les activités à proximité, le logement, le propriétaire et ses indications. Nous avons adoré notre séjour et reviendrons avec grand plaisir. Un grand merci pour ce petit bout de paradis.
Trois jours de détente et petites randos dans le secteur loin du bruit et de la foule . Très bien situé pour les Amoureux de la nature à 5mn de Briançon . J y reviendrai
Lieu de repos idéal, dans un petit havre de paix, fonctionnel, tres bien situé, avec un hôte très sympathique qui prend soigneusement le temps de nous préparer à notre arrivée.Départs de sentiers de promenades et randonnées à proximité, accès à un jardin incroyable au bord de la rivière, parfait pour une retraite en famille au calme. Un grand merci pour cette belle découverte automnale à Val des Près, nous reviendrons !
nous étions trois amis pêcheurs et nous avons passés un très agréable séjour ce gite, le propriétaire très charmant nous a bien renseigné, notamment sur le magasin d'articles de pêche.Nous recommandons ce gite à tout ceux qui aiment la montagne en toutes saisons
J'ai passé un très bon séjour au bord de la Clarée, bercée par le son du cours d'eau. JS s'est montré attentionné, à l'écoute et de bons conseils afin d'apprécier au mieux ma semaine de vacances. Le logement est idéalement situé pour les amoureux de la nature et de la randonnée. Je recommande
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.L'appartement est très confortable et très bien situé au bord de la rivière.Le propriétaire communique parfaitement toutes les informations nécessaires .Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
La vallata è meravigliosa! Un luogo incantevole, isolato, poco costruito, con piccoli ed autentici villaggi, pur essendo a quindici minuti di auto da Briancon. Consigliatissimo agli appassionati di sci di fondo, delle passeggiate, ed anche a chi voglia raggiungere le piste di Monginevro in soli 20 minuti. La casa è accogliente ed ospita senza alcun problema 4 ospiti, anche 5 stringendosi... La vista sul fiume è poetica! L'unico consiglio è quello di trovare il modo di avere maggiore controllo sulle pulizie, che ora sono eccessivamente affidate all'educazione degli ospiti. L'host è una persona gentilissima, che spero di conoscere di persona. Torneremo senza dubbioin questo piccolo angolo di paradiso tra le montagne. Grazie.

Evidentemente siamo stati sfortunati
La casa è in un luogo bellissimo e la comunicazione è stata buona ma..la casa era sporca , le sedie quasi tutte rotte e i materassi sopra macchiati e senza sotto materassi.
