General information: Chalet C12 is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood just 200 meters from the gondola that takes you to the Arinsal Pal ski resort. The Ordino-Arcalis resort is 20 minutes away by car. The entrance to the Coma Pedrosa Natural Park is within walking distance and Andorra-la-Vella is 8km away. The South facing chalet is surrounded by 1000 square meters of private garden. It is not luxurious but very welcoming, clean and warm.

Enjoy home-made bread and jam, yogurts and cakes, international dishes and special desserts. Special menus and baby food on demand. Drinks are not included: |

The chalet has been decorated in an original way, with strong contrasts between the mountain style construction of the chalet and its interior. Ranging from Baroque to Romanesque via Africa and the El Hambra, each room has been decorated differently. | |

This chalet is a wonderful solution if you do not mind meeting people. Many evenings are spent around the fire place in winter or in the garden around the pool during the summer months, with guests comparing their daily adventures, mishaps and achievements on the mountain. The owners do their upmost to ensure each guest's privacy.
The owners:
Marie-Pascale is French a very nice lady indeed. Her English needs some practice but she makes a big effort to understand and compensates her limited vocabulary with sign language and an international big smile.
Alexis makes sure the open fire in the living room does not go out and that nobody needs anything.
They are neither slaves nor servants, they are there to make your holiday as pleasant and comfortable as they can. You can perfect your French during your holiday and they can improve their English. Basically, they are a very pleasant, somewhat eccentric and original couple. Their age is difficult to determine but somewhere between 40 and 60 would be about right!
