“Beyond our expectations”
If you are looking for a luxurious place to stay in the French Alps, without breaking the bank, then this is it. The ultimate in both accommodations and food. Nikki and Hugh are the hosts, and speak both English and French. Nikki is a gourmet cook - each meal is Michelin three star quality. As well, there is a fully-equipped kitchen if you wish to prepare your own meals. There are plenty of activities in the area, some within walking distance, in all seasons, so that you are ready to once again relax and enjoy the evening fire with your companions. We stayed here for a week with our family at Christmas, and for several days with friends in the fall - everyone was truly blown away by the experience. We will definitely return. Having stayed at many B&B's, hotels, and resorts on many continents, this one is one of the very best.

“My two sons of 7 and 4 now want me to build a luxurious house and learn how to cook like aunty Nikki!!!”
Amazing experience in a luxurious, relaxing and down to earth atmosphere.. With two very active boys we kept busy and there is so much to do in such a quaint village. We cycled up to the top where we enjoyed the incredible views of the Alps and tucked into a very tasty picnic…..The boys loved the rock climbing in the village which was great for all levels. I thoroughly enjoyed the fab shopping in the valley. Spoilt again in the evening to a delicious meal and good wine…!! I would recommend the Chalet Savoie Faire to EVERYONE…
