I have just got back from a week at Chalet Chappelle in Morzine and I was blown away by the MTB Beds experience and their team. It is insane value for money when you consider the quality of accommodation, food and facilities. Everybody there was super friendly and full of useful local knowledge and positive energy. The whole holiday was very slick and well run and it helped us all to have an awesome time. I will certainly be coming back to MTB Beds for my next trip. Ben

The second apartment has a large kitchen-diner and living room at the entrance followed by two large bedrooms, a twin and a double. A separate large shower and mezzanine style bathroom are at the end of the property. This section of Al Tre Palmo does not have sea views.

Apartment Al Tre Palmo is complete with ultra-secure bike storage within the property itself, accessed by a private entrance and complete with a bike stand, pump, tool kit and work table. You will have access to washing facilities and our mechanic in our flagship Finale Ligure Villa which is a one minute ride from the apartment.

BOOKING YOUR FLIGHTS

Please check your flight times with us before you book them to avoid long wait times at the airport, sometimes this is inevitable but we try to minimise it as much as possible with prior information from you. Some flights from Ireland and Scotland have late arrival times so please do check before booking them. 

From experience of late arrival times in resort, after 22h, we strongly advise looking into flights that arrive the day before the Riders Week package starts (Arrive Saturday and check in to the villa on the Sunday) and either transferring to a hotel in Finale Ligure on the Saturday, or using an airport hotel in Nice. Something many clients have done and found it greatly reduced fatigue and stress of getting yourself together for 9h uplifts on the Monday morning after a late arrival.

TOURIST TAX

There is a €5 per person per week Tourist tax which has been introduced from 2019, this will be collected at the end of your stay in cash and is paid directly to the local council town hall.
