We returned for I think the ninth year. The service is fabulous and really friendly and helpful. The location is superb, as the village of 1650 is in my opinion is the best in the Courchevel area, as you defintley get the quietest ski-ing on the slopes in peak season. The hotel offers wonderful food, and if you really don't... more

As other posts have mentioned the hotel has just been refurbished. The hotel looks great (fairly traditional with a contemporary touches) and is in a good location just by the piste in 1650, one minute walk to the lifts and you can ski in/out. We had a valley room without a balcony on the second floor, it was fairly small... more

The renovation of the hotel is done with the up most taste,the location is perfect and so is the service. The rooms are small but perfectly finished,with beautiful bathrooms. It also has a great spa,we will be going back. more

My boyfriend and I just returned from a 7 night stay at the Portetta. We could not have been happier with every aspect of the hotel.

Second time we've stayed at the Portetta in 1650 for a family ski holiday and we'll definitely be back. We're a party of 10 (6 adults, 4 children) and the Portetta has something for everyone. It's close to the slopes - you can ski right back to the terrace bar at the end of the day. There's a pool to... more

December 2006 was our second visit. We had such a great ski holiday there in February that we went back and we are now planning our 3rd visit. The hotel is comfortable, clean, homely and convenient - the ski lifts and ski school are right outside the door. Guests gather each evening around the open fire enjoying a drink from... more
