Description

From a humble farmhouse, this spectacular luxury ski chalet in Morzine was born. Designed and decorated with an enormous sense of imagination and fun, this is a chalet that truly broke the mould. Secret rooms, clever design features, fun luxury additions and bespoke furniture pieces make this a magical place to stay.

As you enter, you walk straight into the main living spaces: a cosy dining area with a rough-hewn, chunky wood table where you and your friends will relax long into the evenings; a top-of-the-range kitchen for you or your chef to enjoy using, custom-made and with every thoughtful detail you could think of, including a teppanyaki plate; and an intimate living area, with armchairs and a stove to gather around on chilly nights. There’s even a section of toughened glass in the ceiling so you can keep an eye on any smaller guests who have retired for the evening, while you’re downstairs.

On lazy post-ski afternoons, there’s plenty to keep everyone busy. If you must work, a secret study makes catching up on the emails just a little more enticing a chore. Then there’s a superb cinema room, with jewel-coloured seating that’s so comfy you might just have a snooze in front of your movie matinee. Finally, there’s a beautiful spa treatment room with its own shower, where you can enjoy a massage, facial or another relaxing treatment to soothe slopes-weary limbs and calm body and mind. And of course, there are TVs with Sky, an outdoor deck with loungers and a hot tub and a myriad of other places to hide out, chill out and generally make the most of this unique property.

Unusually for a luxury ski chalet, perhaps the jewel in this property’s crown is the bedrooms. So often forgotten, at The Old Macaroni, the bedrooms are a central part of the experience. Each is themed to the title of one of the owners’ favourite books, beautifully decorated and with lots of thoughtful details and a definite air of the boutique hotel. Luxury Egyptian cotton linens, gowns and slippers and professional hairdryers and straighteners come as standard… the velvet bed, private balcony and lit shower are simply fun extras. The big kid in us particularly loves the children’s Harry Potter room, with its oh-so-cosy bespoke bunks, perfect for any child with secret boarding school or wizarding yearnings.

As if you could ever want for anything here, a 24hr resort manager, concierge and in-resort driver are on hand to ensure everything is to your liking. This is a property that is never disappointing, with everything you would expect on tap. What takes it to the next level is those little surprises… the grand piano, the professional barista coffees, the doors that lead to secret rooms. We think all luxury ski holidays should work out like this one.

Bedroom two
This double room is themed along the story of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, in regal colours with a stunning burgundy velvet bed. The room includes floor-to-ceiling windows leading onto a private balcony and a mezzanine floor with a stone roll-top bath on it with views of the Pleney slopes.

Bedroom five
Massage room on ground which can also be configured as a double bedroom with shower, basin and separate WC.

Mezzanine floor
Known as the Harry Potter room, this room is perfect for children in the four individually curtained built-in cabin beds. Each bed is a double size so would sleep adults comfortably too. As this is a mezzanine room, please note that there is no bedroom door and there is a separate shower room on the first floor.

Please note that all beds are fixed doubles and cannot be split into twins.

Rates are based on occupancy of up to 12 guests (additional guests carries a supplement charge).

A list of carefully selected complimentary house wines accompanies dinner that will appeal to every palate. Throughout your stay, complimentary French champagne, Italian prosecco and a full bar stocked with spirits are available on tap and there’s also an upgrade list of wines and other drinks.

Kids

Children will love this magical chalet, particularly the fabulous Harry Potter room, designed to be their very own den while they are here. Its large open-plan play space on the mezzanine floor can be easily seen from the main rooms so parents can keep an eye on their little ones. The room is stocked with children’s books, and huge bean bags and rugs give everyone somewhere to sprawl with a story. At the end of the day, kids can hide away in their own built-in cabin beds and shut the curtains on the world, creating their own private hideaway.

There’s plenty of space to play and lots of secret spots perfect for hide-and-seek. Young visitors are always wowed by the grand piano and enjoy spending time in the cinema room, catching a movie, while their parents catch up with each other.

Early children’s meals can be prepared and the in-resort driver service means getting the kids off to ski lessons, or back to the chalet after a day’s adventures, is a breeze.

Childcare as well as cots and highchairs can be arranged on request.
