Description

Once a beautiful old farmhouse, Chalet Bonami has been carefully and thoughtfully renovated to become a luxury ski chalet for up to 14 people.

A combination of the old – rustic woods, Savoyard style and classic design – are combined with the contemporary – floor-to-ceiling glass, top-of-the-range gadgetry and urban artwork. The main living spaces in this luxury ski chalet have been designed with sociable gatherings in mind, with huge, squashy sofas gathered around a roaring fire, and leather deckchair-style seating from where you can take in the amazing views. There are two TV areas and plenty more quiet corners in which to curl up with a book, should you need a little time to yourself.

A stylish and modern dining area for 10 is the ideal backdrop for a gourmet meal, and there’s a table nearby for four, too, so the kids can have their very own dinner parties. Don’t forget to take time to explore the wonderful cellar at some point. It’s stocked with some very special wines, selected specially for the chalet. You’re sure to find a bottle or five to accompany dinner.

On snowy afternoons, once you’ve come in from the cold and kicked off your ski gear, there’s plenty to keep you entertained at Chalet Bonami: relax in the cinema room with a movie, hold an XBox championship, or wrap up warm and sit out on the balcony with a drink and a book while the children are busy in the playroom on the mezzanine level.

The spa area, with sauna and Hammam, as well as an outdoor Jacuzzi, is the ideal spot in which to relax and feel pampered after an energetic morning on the slopes. For those still in need of burning off any left over energy, there’s also a small private gym.

At the end of each adventure-filled day here in Chamonix, we recommend a moment to yourself out on the balcony under the stars to breathe in the mountain air, before you retire to the boutique-style bedrooms, each designed to exude a calm, pared-back feel and guaranteed to bring you sweet dreams.
