Chalet Epicea in La Plagne has been home to generations of a local family in the Savoie, but it has been recently beautifully renovated, and lends itself to the perfect, relaxing chalet holiday. When we first stepped into Chalet Epicea, we fell in love with its stunning interior, amazing fireplace and fantastic setting. A typical Savoyard building made of stone and wood and with exposed beams, we have worked hard to make the interior contemporary, stylish and comfortable, but still in keeping with its roots.
Located right on the edge of the Vanoise National Park, Chalet Epicea is set in a truly idyllic woodland clearing, but is still only minutes away from the centre of the friendly village of Les Coches. In winter, the more intrepid intermediate guests can ski or board right back to the door, and in the warmer months, hike or bike out through the National Park on signed trails. And as well as views of Mont Blanc as a backdrop, if you’re lucky, you may even spot our resident fox, or perhaps even a chamois or wild boar.
Accommodating up to 13 people in 6 bedrooms arranged over 3 floors, this spacious, detached chalet benefits from cosy, under-floor heating, a terrace and balcony, and has a huge, open plan dining and living area, perfect for chilling out after a hard day on the slopes.
You can choose to settle down with a drink on one of our four comfy sofas before a roaring log fire; opt for a book from our well-stocked library and retire to the comfort of the rocking chair, or chat with your friends at the thick, wooden, handcrafted dining table. And new for Winter 2011/12, we've installed a luxury, 7-seater hot tub for relaxing after a hard day's ski!
Or if you want to keep up with the latest news or movies, you can wile away the hours watching British TV in glorious HD on the 42” widescreen plasma TV, choose from a selection of DVDs, have some gaming fun with the X-box360, or surf the internet with our free wifi and chalet laptop
Bedrooms
Chalet Epicea has six bedrooms arranged over three floors, accommodating up to thirteen people. All our bedrooms have been tastefully decorated with contemporary home furnishings to make guests feel welcomed and comfortable.
On the ground floor, there is a double ensuite shower room; a twin ensuite shower room, and one triple ensuite shower room.
On the first floor is a bright and airy double bedroom with ensuite, and its own access to a large terrace offering outside space to those brave enough to dare it in the height of winter!
The two bedrooms on the top floor (two twins) are partly set into the eaves. They share a large bathroom, so this is the ideal combination for a family. Wherever possible, we only ever rent these rooms out to a family or a group of four, so there's never any untoward bathroom sharing. |
Nowadays, good food and wine are one of the most important parts of any great holiday. Having both been trained in gourmet cuisine, we are passionate about cooking and plating up rich, delicious food that you will remember long after your holiday is over. A week’s holiday with us consists of six fully catered days including breakfast, afternoon tea and a 4-course dinner. We have one day off so that you get the opportunity to sample the local cuisine in the village. Breakfast is plentiful, with a cooked option every day, plus a choice of cereals, croissants and breads, fruit, porridge and yoghurts. For afternoon tea we serve a freshly baked cake and a selection of teas, and filter coffee. On colder days expect mulled wine, or our personal favourite, spiced cider. Dinners are sumptuous 4-course affairs, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Start off the evening with a champagne aperitif, and then sit down to a home cooked dinner, ending with a selection of local cheeses to try, all accompanied by unlimited red and white wine at the table. Then retire to one of our many sofas to sleep it off - or maybe sample a few digestifs at the honesty bar, it's up to you. |
