Property Description
This recently renovated house with has been thoughtfully finished in wood and retains lots of character and features. As you approach down the narrow road, just wide enough to drive to the door, you feel as though you’re going back through time. The row of houses of which this house is part has a higgledy piggledy feel whilst all looking well loved and inviting.
You walk up a few steps onto the tiny terrace with its little table at which to dine whilst enjoying the summer lunchtime sun. Enter the house into the kitchen/diner with a fitted kitchen and dining table which has been finished in wood and has a welcoming, cosy atmosphere.
From here there are stairs down to the lower ground floor where there is a small room that could be used as a second bedroom with a toilet and basin next door and further storage space where they currently house the washing machine.
Heading back up the stairs back past the kitchen/diner and up to the middle floor where there is a charming lounge, also finished in wood with a few nooks and crannies which keep an authentic feel of the space. Then finally up to the top floor which is a cozy light double room with shower room.
This beautiful village is a great base for all mountain activities; the ski lifts of St Martin de Belleville are just 5 minutes away and from there you can link into the vast Three Valleys ski area with its 600kms of pistes. In the summer there are plenty of stunning mountain walks and mountain bike trails to enjoy plus a whole range of summer activities on offer. The village is mostly French but also has an international community which makes it a very friendly and interesting place to live with plenty of life all year round.

Saint Martin de Belleville
Resort Ratings
Resort Description
Based at 1400m and directly linked into the vast Three Valleys network by an 8 person gondola, St Martin de Belleville offers unlimited, world-class skiing. The village is picture perfect, unspoiled and authentic making St Martin de Belleville the perfect ski resort if you are looking for a taste of authentic France combined with state of the art skiing. Clusters of traditional chalets and original Savoyard farmhouses are dominated by the close mountains with chamois and wild boars roaming free in the surrounding forests. St Martin was voted a “Top Ten Picture Postcard resort” for its pretty, traditional architecture and stunning Alpine scenery, it’s interesting to note that the commune have had the foresight to bury all the electric and phone cabling which means that not only does it have a clean uncluttered look, but you are unlikely to lose power when the snow hits! As an added bonus Val Thorens, officially the highest resort in Europe is situated at the top of the valley offering great skiing from mid-November to mid-May. St Martin also has some of the best and clearest runs in the Three Valleys; with skiing for all levels back down to the village and red run Jerusalem a firm favourite with many, and the confidence inspiring off-piste powder fields have to be experienced to be believed. In the height of summer during July and August the valley is host to walkers, nature lovers and adventure seekers who arrive to enjoy the traditional and less traditional mountain activities along with the colourful mountain meadows and beauty of the contrasting vibrant green against snow capped mountains. It is also a near neighbour to the Vanoise Park, a protected area of outstanding natural beauty. St Martin de Belleville has a lower key nightlife than its glitzy neighbours. Having said that, the valley boasts two Michelin starred restaurants, one being situated three minutes from the village, the other in Val Thorens. St Martin itself has several friendly bars and restaurants which retain a mountain village atmosphere with prices to match. It seems ideal for ski and mountain lovers looking for an authentic atmosphere a little apart from the crowds, and out of season it still has life and enough year round residents to stop it feeling like a ghost town.
