Description

Nestled in the ancient hamlet of Le Cret is this gem of a property. You’d never guess today that this luxury ski chalet near Val d’Isere was once a cheese farm run by the local monks, but the property still retains original features, which have been painstakingly preserved and restored to life. From the rustic wooden beams and stone walls to the stunning chapel, nestled in the private garden.

The chalet may have its roots in 1632 but it’s been brought bang up to date with works of contemporary art and all the latest gadgets, to make it the ideal snowy retreat for a luxury ski holiday.

At the heart of the chalet is the inviting double-height living room with mezzanine looking over it. This large open-plan space comprises a cosy dining area, fabulous seating area with bar and an open fire, ideal for gathering around with friends and catching up on the day’s events over drinks and canapés.

Each of the double bedrooms is beautifully designed with unique touches that make each room a retreat of its own and luxury bathrooms so that every morning is like a spa trip.

Talking of which, there’s no better place to while away an afternoon after a morning’s skiing than in the wellness suite, relaxing in the hot tub or enjoying the steam room.

The property is ideally located, close to some of the area’s best skiing as well as the fashionable bars and boutiques of Val d’Isere. But placed just a little outside the hustle and bustle, up here on one of Le Cret’s beautiful balconies, admiring the mountain views, it’s simply stunning.
