This property is a renovated 170 year old country farmhouse constructed from valley stone and ancient timbers. It has been lovingly converted by the owner into a charming, traditionally decorated ski lodge. The unique character of the building has been preserved and the use of natural materials and country decor reflects the spirit of a bygone age. The property enjoys 6 comfortable bedrooms, 4 bath or shower rooms and 6 x wc whilst there is a outdoor hot tub for après ski relaxing.
The chalet is decorated in the traditional French style so lots of pretty gingham fabrics and decoration create a wonderful ski chalet ambience. Most bedrooms have ample cupboard space. Duvets, soft pillows and crisp bed linen included.
The heart of the house is an enormous and well equipped farmhouse kitchen with hand-built cupboards and a traditional terracotta stone floor. The old pine dressers, blue crockery and dried flowers draw inspiration from Country Living and it is the ideal place for cosy aprés ski hot chocolate. There is a large 'Aga' style range cooker (that can also be wood fired) 5 gas burners, microwave, fridge freezer and electric oven offer aspiring chefs the best facilities in which to create delicious meals.
