Résidence Plein Soleil
Balconies on the peaks and a kitchen of your own, in mountain-town Avrieux
A place to stay in Avrieux
Résidence Plein Soleil is a 3-star property in Avrieux, France, and it runs more like a block of holiday flats than a classic hotel. Every unit has a private kitchen, most have a balcony with a mountain view, and sizes run from a 33 m² studio for four to a 63 m² apartment for ten. Rates start at €83 for the studio. Breakfast is served and ranks among the property's most popular features, though the kitchens make eating in easy. Free Wifi covers the building, pets are welcome, private parking sits on site, and the residence lists facilities for disabled guests alongside family rooms.
Who it's a good fit for
Expect a practical, self-catering apartment stay — full kitchens, balconies and mountain views at a 3-star price point, with breakfast available if you don't feel like cooking.
Best for
- self-catering families
- groups of six to ten sharing one flat
- pet owners
- drivers exploring the mountains around Avrieux
Less suited to
- travellers who want full hotel service over apartment living
- anyone after luxury finishes at this price
Balconies aimed at the peaks
Most apartments open onto a private balcony with a straight-on mountain view, and the largest unit adds city and landmark views. Soundproofing is built into the rooms, and every apartment has a seating area with a flat-screen TV.
Kitchens that replace eating out
Each unit, studio included, has a working kitchen: stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, toaster, electric kettle, coffee machine and kitchenware, plus a dining table. It is set up for cooking proper meals, not just reheating.
Studios to a ten-bed flat
Five layouts run from a 33 m² studio for four to a 63 m² two-bedroom apartment for ten. Larger units mix full beds, bunk beds and sofa beds across separate bedrooms and a living room.
