School Holiday Week … Price Drop By Up To 20%!

We figured that the week from Saturday 17th to Saturday 24th December 2022 would be a super-popular week as it is a School holiday week (for both State and Private Schools) but one that still allows families to get home before Santa arrives and (just) in time for the Mother-in-law’s Brussels sprouts!

It seems, however, that our optimism was perhaps misplaced and, with some wonderful chalets still to sell, we have taken the decision to lower prices for that week … and by as much as 20% in some cases!
