A group of us, 6 adults and 2 dogs rented "Дубльдом Париж №19" from Friday-Sunday and were really satisfied with the level of comfort. Great, spacious communal area, bbq facilities, robes, slippers, Natura Sibirica cosmetics are all provided. It is way above average of the standard that you come to expect in Russia in terms of moernity and cleanliness. We called to reception and they brought us more firewood, games, they provided probably 20 bottles of water, plenty of towels etc. We rented the snowmobiles for an hour which was an excellent albeit terrifying experience to drive in the blizzard. An instructor was with us, this gave me some comfort. The instructor was careful and very understanding when I didn't want to sit as passenger on my boyfriends snowmobile anymore, as his driving was too fast for my nerves. The instructor let me sit as passenger on his mobile instead. Prior to the snow-mobile experience we visited the rental shop where they provided the full equipment necessarry for no extra charge. Including the thickest winter trousers I have ever worn and a helmet. Definitely, feeling cold was not going to be a problem! The man in the rental shop was also really great, super friendly, chatty and professional. Honestly all the staff we interracted with were very pleasant. We also visited the Russian banya. The location of this place is a little hidden. It's not in the spa, or in any building on the main territory. You have to walk down a side path which is pretty hidden and in the darkness it wasn't that intuitive to get to. But we arrived and the banya was great, 8 of us stayed for 3 hours. On our last day the blizzard had stopped, we walked around the territory. Guys were working hard to clear the snow from the main paths. Sadly the ice rink was covered, my skates returned to my bag unused. After check-out we went for a late lunch at the restaurant, and unanimously agreed that the food was excellent, and very reasonably priced since there is no alternative place to eat out. Our waiter Victor was wonderful, really professional and diligent, he took care of us, paced the dishes out nicely for us so we received everything in the order that we wanted it and nothing was getting cold on the table. Please pass on to Victor that we appreciated his attention to detail. Side point but I really appreicated that I could have soya milk in my coffee. This is not a usual find outside of Moscow. The only annoyance was that only one car could be parked next to the chalet, despite the fact that there was space for more. We had 3 cars in our group, so two had to go to the main car park. I'm sure they have a reason for this, but it was generally inconvenient. Long story short, we want to come back in the summer so that we can see more of the territory and try the floating banya. It's definitely worth the drive from Moscow to come here.
