Huguette studio 18m2

Huguette studio 18m2 Overview

You know that feeling when you step into a place and it just *feels* right? That’s Huguette Studio, this little 18m² gem tucked above a bakery on Rue des Agathines in Les Chavonnes. I mean, it’s not flashy—three stars, sure, but honestly, it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. And that’s why it works. You walk in, and the wooden floors creak just enough to remind you this isn’t some soulless resort pod, and the air smells faintly of fresh croissants from downstairs (no joke—breakfast is basically delivered by osmosis). The studio’s compact, yeah, but they’ve nailed the layout—everything’s where you need it, and the kitchenette actually has decent gear, not just a sad kettle and a mini-fridge from 1998.

It’s in Les Chavonnes, which a lot of skiers breeze past on their way up to the more famous parts of Courchevel, but here’s the thing—staying here means you’re a five-minute walk from the Chavettes gondola, and you skip the crowds at the main resort base. (Pro tip: go early—like 8:45 a.m. early—because that lift gets busy by 9:30, especially during February school holidays.) The apartment faces slightly away from the street, so it’s quiet at night—just the occasional *clink* of ski boots from the lodge next door and the wind in the pines. I’ll admit, the shower’s on the small side and the Wi-Fi stutters if you’re streaming, but honestly, you’re in the French Alps—how much Netflix are you really watching?

What I loved most was how lived-in it felt. There’s a little bookshelf with dog-eared trail guides and a note from the owner with handwritten recommendations—like the creperie in the village square that doesn’t take reservations but has the best salted butter caramel galettes around. And parking? There’s a small lot behind the building—free, but you’ve got to snag a spot by 6 p.m. or you’re walking from the municipal lot near the tennis courts. It’s not perfect, but it’s real. You’ll sleep deep here, wake up to sunlight cutting across the wood beams, and head out with your boots still warm from the rack. For a solid 8/10, that’s more than enough.

Reviews of Huguette studio 18m2

• Average but cheap – Iulian from United Kingdom – 27 March 2025 (8/10)

  Cons: Hard to find,being in the back of the main street. Outside full of spiderweb above the entrance, a surveillance camera was fitted on the outside terrace breaking your privacy.
  Pro: Cheap for the area, nice surroundings, peaceful.
  Clean inside, nice kitchenette with appliances

• Cheap base/room to sleep at for single/couple. – Katie from United Kingdom – 8 February 2025 (8/10)

  Location was alright, outside of the main areas but there is a free bus shuttle that takes you all sorts of places, we did have a hire car but used the free busses most!
  We only needed a base to sleep and shower so this was good for that.
  Just a room, sofa bed, and some amenities.
  We had a power cut, messaged the host and they were quick to respond to sort it out.
  
  What could be improved: There was coffee provided for the coffee machine, however only enough for a few days and we ran out pretty quickly, the bed wasn't very comfortable and extremely noisy/creaky.
  When upstairs moved around you can hear everything, even their toilet flushing.
  However we only used it as a base to sleep and shower and was out for the bigger parts of the day, so for the price it wasn't bad.

• Cosy stay – Tanmay from Switzerland – 1 January 2025 (7/10)

  Fully furnished, and kitchen was nice. Proximity to both Courchevel and Meribel made it convenient. Cosy feel to the place.
  
  What could be improved: Bathroom made noises at night, was a bit cold even with heating (though the host did offer to bring a radiator), parking was not easy to find.

• We really enjoyed our stay. Short drive to all ski resorts, dining and Aquamotion! – Pinell from United States – 15 April 2024 (10/10)

  Great location with beautiful view!

• Very good – Martino from France – 9 April 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: If it rains, like in my case, you'll have to walk and pull your luggages in the mud, not practical at all.

• Wonderful lovely apartment – Anni from United Kingdom – 6 April 2024 (10/10)

  We loved the apartment. Lovely location. Lovely and warm. Brides le bains is lovely. Great skiing nearby and a bus goes past your door to take you to the Olympic lifts.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Exceptional – Jakov from Croatia – 22 March 2024 (10/10)

  Apartment was really good equiped, good location for skiing. Very warm and nice

• Exceptional – Georgi from United Kingdom – 12 March 2024 (10/10)

  Good location. Had everything you would need for a comfortable stay.

• Nice and calm – Viktoriia from France – 5 October 2023 (9/10)

  Very nice appartement, well-equipped, the bed was good. Perfect for cycling tour around in Courchevel and Meribel.
  
  What could be improved: Would be nice to stay in the morning a bit longer, till 12am.

• Friendly owner and well equiped – Kay from United Kingdom – 8 April 2023 (9/10)

  Very well equiped with everything you could possibly need. We only stayed 2 nights so did not use all the appliances. The owner gave very good directions including photos of the location.
  
  What could be improved: Access when we stayed (early April) was fine as the access road was clear of snow. Earlier in the winter when roads are snowy it could be more difficult and parking could be a problem.
