In the heart of the French Alps, lies this very special farmhouse, perched above the idyllic town of Bourg Saint Maurice (7 mins drive), sleeping 4 and ideally located a short distance from 6 major ski areas including;
Sainte Foy - La Plagne - La Roserie - Les Arcs - Val d'isere-Tignes
The rustic farmhouse has been transformed into an enchanting mountain hideaway full of charm and understated luxury and decorated with beautiful vintage pieces throughout. Dogs very welcome.
Enjoy amazing views of the snow-capped mountains from the hot tub or curl up with a favourite book by the cosy log burner or firepit. The farmhouse maintains many original features, yet the property is extremely comfortable, offering super king sized beds each with luxury v-spring mattresses and each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom (the master with a roll top bath). There are two double bedrooms, the second of which has an additional sofa bed. There is underfloor heating, electric heaters, a separate loo for guests on the ground floor, high speed 5G internet and a large flat screen TV in the master bedroom. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine/ tumble dryer and dishwasher.
Younger children may be accommodated, but please mention this before your stay and be aware that there are very steep steps which may be problematic for young children or the elderly.
Toiletries, linen and towels provided.
The property has its own private entrance and small garden. The parking area is a short walk from the house and has an electric charging point. A car is highly recommended.
Please note: when using the free standing bath in the master bedroom, you cannot fill the bath to the top, as it will be too heavy for the floor. Please fill to the marker. There is also a shower in the second bedroom; please note - this is an OPEN SHOWER and has no glass. Please also be aware that this is a 120 very old house with lots of wood and wood panels. The house is thoroughly cleaned after each stay, but cannot avoid small dust and occasional insects from outside, due to the altitude.
