Chalet Ellis Serre-Chevalier, France
This country house is an old farmhouse that has just been renovated and can comfortably accommodate 14 people. Fully south facing, the large glazed opening of the old barn floods the living space with sunlight facing the snow-capped peaks. It is located 10 meters from the shuttle stop to take you to the slopes or enjoy our free daily shuttle.
Created with old wood and stainless steel, stone and lime plaster, Afghan rugs and Tartan wools. It features 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, each with a theme taking you to the Tibetan plateaus, to the shores of Swiss lakes, along the Alaskan fjords or through the valleys of the Hindu Kush.
The house is located in the hamlet of La Chirouze in La Salle les Alpes, slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the slopes (1 min by car or by shuttle - bus stop 10 meters from the house), with a view of the summits of Briançon and facing Mont Prorel. You can enjoy the Sun, well installed on a deckchair in the garden, the deck or the large balcony on the top floor.
On three levels, the house can accommodate 14 people in its 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms (3 baths and 4 showers).
On the garden level, the old vaulted barn has been transformed into a Native American living room. Facing the 70s stove, inspired by a trip to the Easter Islands.
On this floor, two suites with their own bathroom and WC.
On the ground floor, a beautiful entrance in old Austrian wood leads to 4 double bedrooms each with its own bathroom.
In the attic, the large bay window illuminates the main room which includes a living room, the dining room, a kitchen designed by designer Stéphane Barbier Bouvet and a central fireplace. The top floor also includes the master bedroom of 30 M2 with bathroom with bathtub.
This house has been refurbished in respect of the environment with noble materials and old techniques. The heated floors are powered by solar panels.
