Unbelievable!!! The hospitality from the Retreatia folks was off the charts! And...The unit was fantastic. I visited for a week with my youngest daughter and my two sons (Wife and eldest daughter do not ski or board). The unit was in impeccable condition, and was decorated just to my taste (lots of antique and western paraphernalia while maintaining a modern look). The unit was well stocked with kitchen ware, paper towels, etc. One of the nicest surprises is how close we were to the slopes - 75 yd level walk, and we were strapping on boards! Short run right to the Gondola ski lift. We also got off the slope at the same point when we were done in the afternoon. A five minute walk will put you right in the middle of Gondola square.
The unit was very spacious and well laid out. The only constructive comment that I have is concerning the second bedroom with bunks. I am sure that the consideration was given to sleeping as many folks as possible, but the "bunk room" was a little tight. My two boys stayed in this room and struggled finding enough storage area for their supplies. Still, this is a very small issue. The units in LaCosa do not have a shuttle service, but depend on the city bus route. This was fine as the buses always showed up promptly every 10 minutes. The ride home (from town) could get a little lengthy depending on how many stops were requested, but our longest ride home was only about 20-25 minutes.
I plan to bring my wife back during the summer months, and will request the same unit through Retreatia. Great location and a good value.
Thank you David, for sharing your home!!
