Property Description

This chalet has been a labour of love for the current owners who have renovated it over the last 15 years and run it as a lifestyle catered chalet operation. The original building is some 150 years old and now provides just under 200 sq. m of habitable accommodation (197 to be precise) retaining many original features such as stone walls, wooden doors and beams.

The chalet offers 6 or 7 all en suite bedrooms, a huge open plan living area, family sized kitchen, balcony, hot tub and amazing views of the mountains.

Situated just a couple of bends down from Sainte Foy-Tarentaise, 2 minutes by car or free shuttle bus, in a peaceful hamlet some amazing skiing is within easy reach: as well as Sainte Foy station, Villaroger, for access to Les Arcs, is 12 minutes by car, Tignes Le Breviere 15 minutes and La Rosiere 25 minutes whilst the busy tourist town of Bourg St Maurice is only 20 minutes away.

In the owners’ own words the chalet is  “ in the middle of nowhere in the middle of everywhere” which sums things up nicely.

GREAT LARGE FAMILY CHALET OR SELF-CATERED/CATERED CHALET: ALL MOD CONS YET FULL OF CHARACTER. VERY SENSIBLY PRICED.

PLEASE NOTE; it would be a relatively straightforward  to create fewer, more spacious bedrooms for those who do not require 7 bedrooms.

Entering the chalet there is a very spacious hallway with plenty of storage space, boot rack and ski rack as well as an additional WC and shower room; plenty of room for all the “stuff” that comes with a skiing/mountain holiday. There are 4, spacious, double/twin bedrooms on this level all with modern shower rooms, WC and washbasin.

Moving downstairs there are a further 3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms and a study as one is a little bit smaller. Again they all have en suite showers, WC and washbasin. One of the rooms is especially large and has a small kitchenette; the owners use this as their own accommodation when the chalet is full and enjoy access to an outside terrace..

There is also a boiler room/utility room (a 42 kw oil fired boiler I am told!!) which houses the hot water tanks. The oil tanks are in an outside cave.

The main living accommodation is upstairs from the entrance hall though first of all you come into a nice landing area with, off this, a spacious larder/freezer space/dry storage area under the eaves .

The living area is extremely spacious with a full height ceiling under the eaves and BIG wooden beams giving the room a lovely feel. Indeed, lovingly restored features such as wooden doors are to be found throughout the chalet.

There is a cosy lounge area with wood burner, a TV area and a dining area with plenty of room for everybody in the chalet. A separate family sized kitchen is well equipped with range style cooker with 5 gas rings, breakfast bar, two dishwashers and a serving hatch through to the dining area that is both pretty and convenient.

Big windows in the living area make the most of the amazing views whilst doors open onto the balcony, which wraps around the lounge facing south and west. The views are simply stunning.

Finally an outside hot tub is the ideal place to relax tired muscles, enjoy a Gin and Tonic and marvel at those views..

QUITE SIMPLY, A VERY NICE CHALET INDEED.

Sainte Foy –Tarentaise has only been developed over the last 10 years or so ans is well known as an off-piste skier’s paradise whilst the wide open and often uncrowded pistes offer excellent family skiing. The village itself has been developed in a tasteful style and offers a choice of restaurants, bars and shops.. For many the easy access to the resorts of La Rosiere, Les Arcs, Paradiski and Tignes/Val d’Isère is a major attraction as there is so much world class skiing to enjoy.

The original village of Sainte Foy with the very popular Le Monal restaurant and bar is only 7 minutes from the chalet by car.

In summer the peaceful hamlet location offers an idyllic spot from which to enjoy the walking, cycling, mountain biking and other activities that the area has to offer—or sit on the balcony with a book and a glass of wine and soak up that stunning view.
