Why Go Self-Catering?
It's a big choice to make when booking your holiday - hotel or apartment? Whilst it can be nice to go on holiday and not think about cooking for the week, there are many great benefits of booking self-catering accommodation for your ski holiday to Soldeu or El Tarter.
The first consideration is choice of food. If you have small children travelling with you or dietary requirements to consider, then self-catering gives you the ultimate flexibility to ensure everyone is satisfied. There are a couple of small supermarkets in the village so you'll have enough to choose from to make sure it's not just pasta & sauce for the week! Alternatively you can take the bus to Andorra la Vella or Pas de la Casa to stock up at the larger supermarkets.
The fact that you have kitchen facilities doesn't actually mean you have to use them though, Soldeu has a great selection of restaurants to choose from which means you can combine self-catering and eating out to get the best of both worlds.
If you're coming skiing on a budget then being able to go to the supermarket and pick up a few beers and keep them in a fridge ready for apres ski can be a bonus, or even if you just want a few drinks whilst getting ready for your night out. If you are feeding a large family then of course self-catering will save you a substantial amount of money compared to eating out.
The other great benefit of self-catering is the extra space. Generally you'll find that booking an apartment means you'll have more space than if you book just a hotel room, so you'll be able to relax more in your accommodation and make it feel a little more like home. Having the space to properly unpack and also get your skiing clothes dry after a day in the snow can make your holiday more relaxing.
So that's a few of the benefits of self-catering, but ultimately it's just down to personal preference. If you'd like to take a look at the self-catering options available in Soldeu and El Tarter just enter your dates in the search tools above.
