Hôtel Village Montana by les Etincelles

Guests praise the accommodating staff, comfortable and spacious rooms, and fantastic ski-in/ski-out location near the slopes and town center. However, no disadvantages were mentioned in the reviews.

Lovely staff. Great location. Appartments: spacious living area, but bedrooms very pokey. Cupboards out on landings and needed torchee to see in. Tired decor. Restaurant food improved over week but usually lukewarm warm at best. I would say it’s 3 star posing as 4 star.

Stayed in an apartment in the hotel but on half board basis. The hotel is very nice with a large relaxing bar with comfy sofas and a log fire in one part. Drinks pricey though but so are all hotels. Staff very helpful and moved us to this hotel from Aigle du Montana as it was far from 4* (will review that hotel separately). Breakfast has extensive choice of hot, cold, pastries, cheese, meat, breads, juices. Dinner can be taken at 3 restaurants in the Montana area that are included in the half board option. Chaumiere is traditional fondu, pierrade, tartiflette etc and portions are large with desert after too ( 2 courses for half board and you won’t be hungry!). Chanterelles in the hotel itself is 5 courses every night with meat and fish choice for mains, soup followed by starter, large cheese buffet and then the equally large desert buffet - you won’t go hungry here either. Only criticism of Chanterelles is their service is a bit fast to eat 5 courses so could be slowed down a bit. La Place is the other restaurant and just pizzas and some fondu type things for half board - tried it one night and not great so wouldnt go back. There is a fourth restaurant, Gourmet, which you pay €15 extra for but we didn’t try that one. You have to book all restaurants in advance so we did this before arriving in Tignes. Would stay again but would prefer a room in the hotel which we think comes with access to the spa and open air heated pool.
