Chalet Matsuzaka - Chambres d'hôtes de Luxe

We stayed at the Hotel Matsuzaka for four nights in March 2023. What a gem of a place this is. Firstly we had to change our booking at short notice and Faye and Mike, the owners, could not have been more flexible in accommodating us. When we eventually arrived we received a genuinely warm welcome. The friendliness and warmth from this lovely couple continued throughout our stay. Our spacious room and en-suite bathroom were Japanese themed with lovely furnishings. The view from our balcony was breath-taking. We used the Japanese spa after skiing. A wonderful experience - more calming and relaxing than other spas/hot tubs we have used. There is a garage where we were able to park our car at no extra charge. Ski storage facilities are good and the hotel is in a great location. Then there's the food - the best we have experienced whilst on a skiing holiday. The 3-course evening meals were a fusion of western-style dishes using Japanese ingredients, with amazing presentation. We felt as if we were eating in a Michelin starred restaurant every night. Breakfasts were amazing too, a huge selection of food and beverages to choose from, including a good old pot of English breakfast tea (Yorkshire tea to be precise). This hotel is extremely good value for money and we can't thank Faye and Mike enough for making our stay so enjoyable. They provided us with tips on the best areas to ski and places to visit. We highly recommend this wonderful hotel and will definitely be back. Thank you Faye and Mike!
