Chalet Chatel, Megeve

Description

Leave all the cool, glossy steel and glass interiors to the post-modernists. Chalet Chatel is the real deal: an 18th century farmhouse whose ancient beams and nooks have been embellished to create 250sq m of luxurious, cosy interiors. Standing alone amid magnificent alpine scenery, it is five minutes from the glitzy resort of Megeve. Utterly peaceful, yet fully serviced.

Chalet Chatel is owned by a luxury five star hotel, which is just a five minute drive away. And that’s what gives this gorgeous farmhouse style chalet its flexibility. Whether you wish to revel in all the hotel’s services such as private dining, in-chalet massages, childcare and concierge services, or prefer to lock yourself away in your private mountain retreat, the choice is yours.

Whatever arrangements you make, you will have daily housekeeping, and the hotel’s services. This idyllic mountain hideaway is a wonderful escape from daily life, whether you are here in winter or summer. Life at Chalet Chatel has changed dramatically since it was built. You no longer have to rise at the crack of dawn to milk the cows and fetch kindling for the fire. Nowadays it’s all about luxuriating in the private spa with its Swedish bath, massage table and fitness machines, and being completely pampered.

When you fancy a change of scenery, the upmarket facilities of the hotel are just a short drive away. As a guest at Chalet Chatel you can make use of the hotel’s Pure Altitude spa with its pool and experienced therapists. You can dine in either of the three restaurants, make use of the concierge service, make transport arrangements and hire ski equipment. There is even a children’s club. And of course, you can always drive in to Megeve with its glamorous shops, bars and restaurants.

Best of all, the five star hotel, a short drive away, offers plenty of entertainment and facilities for children. And as Chalet Chatel is owned by the hotel, you can use the spa and swimming pool, the three restaurants and the concierge service as often as you like. As an added bonus, the hotel also has its own ski shop where you can get the kids kitted out for snow sports.

Little ones will love the Hameau Des Enfants at the hotel too. This is an area dedicated to children, run as a kids’ club with video games, cookery sessions and even a mini stage for budding performers. Just ask the concierge for whatever you need, whether it is cots and highchairs in your chalet, booking activities and transport, or booking places at the kids’ club.
