We have just had a fantastic week here, we stopped in a one bedroom apartment with Mountain View and it was lovely, usually we stop in the local hotels but this year decided to go self catering, the apartment is spacious and comes with a starter pack of bits to keep you going for a few days ( not food). There is a washing machine, dishwasher and microwave and all kitchen utensils. Soldeu bars and restaurants are a 10 minute walk away, the apartment has its own garage but as other reviews have said the spaces are tight, so if you don’t have parking sensors the get someone to watch you in. I would definitely return we have had a fantastic stop.

“Nice stay in La Pleta De Soldeu”

My sister and I stayed here for 1 week in March (outside any half term). We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment with some mountain views which was a good size for the two of us.

My sister and I stayed here for 1 week in March (outside any half term). We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment with some mountain views which was a good size for the two of us. I would not recommend this apartment size for more than 3 people. The bedroom had 2 twin beds and wardrobes. The living room had a sofabed, dining table and chairs for 4 people and very little storage. The apartments are close to the bus stops that will take you to/ from Pas de la Casa or down to Andorra la Vella. This is also where the Andorra transfer bus picks up and drops off from Barcelona Airport. Check in was easy enough although at the bottom of the hill. Getting our snowboard bags and luggage down from the bus stop was precarious! Thankfully our apartment block was not too far back up the hill :) The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped considering its size, plenty of plates, cups, glasses. Microwave, toaster, small kettle and filter coffee machine. The full sized washing machine and half width dishwasher was a treat as was a full sized oven! The shower size as some others have mentioned was a little on the small size, but that didn't bother us too much. The apartment had plenty of hot water and was very warm once the radiators were turned on! The free shuttle service to the Gondola was very helpful in the mornings and afternoon. It's not a long walk to the main shops and gondola area (15 min walk?) If you want to do après ski (Fat Alberts rib nights recommended!) then its a walk back to the apartments. We were not told if there were any ski locker or storage area in the apartment block available for us to use. We ended up renting a ski locker at the Gondola base which worked out better! The wifi here was a little up and down, but we didn't come here to spend all our time on the internet :) If this is a must for you then perhaps renting a portable mobile wifi device would be useful (given Andorra tends not be on any UK mobile free roaming list - you might as well!) If you are planning on cooking and did not drive to Soldeu, I would recommend the grocery store next to the Delbosc Coffee Shop, they have the best selection of protein/ meats and vegetables out of the 3 shops in town (the supermarkets in town are more like corner shops and don't stock a great deal of meats). You do get a little starter pack with a dishwasher tab, tea towel, washing liquid and a couple of loo rolls. Being quite savvy with self catering, we brought more dishwasher tabs and loo rolls :) Some spices for cooking and various kitchen bits and pieces (cling film/ kitchen foil) Overall a nice stay at a ski resort we'd never been to before. The snow was fantastic as was the ski area! The apartment was basic but comfortable. It would have been useful to have more hooks to hang up coats and other wet ski wear at the end of the day. Other than that no real gripes :)
