Hi Mike
I would have thought there should be apartments in the resort for seasonal workers to rent? They certainly won't want to pay the sort of rates us tourists would pay. I'd steer clear of ordinary holiday rents, as they will just charge you the weekly rental rate multiplied by the number of weeks, which for a whole season will be a lot. Have you tried Googling to find estate agents in the area? You might need to speak to agents individually and explain what you're after. They might know someone who would rent to you for the whole season. Also, are you determined to be based in Courchevel itself? You might have more success if you widen your search area?
Good luck

Ah yes - PWS. Add the symptoms of uncontrollable rage, the urge to eat lots of chocolate. Oh wait - that's PMS :lol:

Pabs - I just re-read my post and it sounds like I work for wtss :oops:
I don't, honest. I take your point about Eileen posting her review on here too. It's just handy being able to log on to the 'you know what' website and looking up the resort info and any user reviews. I was frustrated they didn't have any, and Eileen made it sound so nice.

Hi Eileen. How did you get there? If you flew, how long was the transfer from airport to resort? Where did you stay? Did you go with a tour operator or arrange everything yourself? What were prices like in the resort?
Sorry for the long list :lol:
Could I persuade you to do a review for wtss.co.uk? Search for the resort Limone and you can write your own user review.
We're beginners as well, so I'm always interested to hear of other beginners' experiences.

Thanks,
Allie

:shock: LOL :lol:
