Chalet Aralia St-Martin-de-Belleville, France
Located on a quiet, private road just above St Martin de Belleville, Chalet Aralia offers a tranquil retreat with beautiful views over the village and surrounding meadows. Just a few minutes' drive from the village centre and the pistes, this modern chalet is perfectly located for a serene mountain escape.
Set across three floors, Chalet Aralia comfortably accommodates 8 to 10 guests in its four en-suite bedrooms and an additional cosy bunk room. The open- plan living and dining areas are designed to maximise the views, with large windows looking out towards the village and alpine countryside. Make the most of the terrace, where deckchairs invite you to relax and soak up the sunshine, making it an ideal spot for a morning coffee or enjoy the afternoon tea. Decorated in soft, neutral tones with a nod to traditional alpine style, the chalet exudes warmth and comfort. Natural woods, sumptuous faux fur throws, and elegant lighting create a cosy, inviting atmosphere throughout. The living spaces are designed for both relaxation and entertainment, providing a welcoming atmosphere after a day on the slopes.
On the ground floor, there's ample space for your ski gear and clothing in the spacious boot room and entrance hall. After a day of adventure, retreat to the wooden sauna or take a dip in the outdoor hot tub on the terrace. Facing the sunset, this spot offers an idyllic setting to enjoy sundowners as the dusky glow of the evening settles over the mountains.
I am looking forward to building on the sourcing of local produce and our relationships with local suppliers. This is to help the chefs get the most out of what is available.
The ability to pick and choose the best produce that is right for you and your guests is every chef’s dream - and something that makes the food prepared in the chalets stand out from others.
I’m also keen to maximise the sharing of knowledge among the chefs.
Good chefs are always learning and refining their methods and it is a unique situation that the chalet chefs find themselves in.
They are individually in charge of their own menus, and they are the ones who get to know their guests preferences and tailor the food to meet them.
With good relationships and some healthy competition, good practice gets shared around.
I am looking forward to having the perspective of an overall view of the chalets, and therefore spot and act upon what needs to be done to maintain consistently excellent food across the company.
Food is our great passion, and in our opinion one of the most important aspects of a winter sports holiday in a catered chalet.
Our food is something that we feel sets us apart from the rest and we are continually striving to come up with new ideas to create perfect balanced menus for our guests.
We recognise that many of our guests will have their own particular dietary requirements and we are constantly looking for new and exciting menu ideas to cater for such needs. To help us give you the best service possible we would ask that you give us as much information as possible about any dietary requirements and/or food allergies at the time of booking your chalet holiday.
At breakfast you will be offered a wide selection of cereals and porridge, fresh fruit salad, organic fruit juices, yoghurts, local artisan breads and freshly baked croissants. On 5 mornings of your holiday (our chef and host will have two days off) we offer a cooked daily special such as bacon and eggs, American style pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup, Eggs Benedict or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon – these cooked options can be tailored to your preferences.
On your return from skiing each day you will find our mouthwatering afternoon tea set up for you in the dining area, with freshly baked cakes, breads and jams, teas, coffee and hot chocolate.
Your evening will start with a choice of canapés and aperitifs around the fire before dinner. We are passionate about using the freshest locally-sourced seasonal ingredients in all our dishes and our evening menus are designed to be beautifully balanced whilst delivering great flavours.
Our food is not over complicated and our ethos is to prepare stunningly presented and truly mouth-watering dishes. A selection of local French cheeses is always offered after dinner, followed by coffee and petit fours. Your dinner will be accompanied by a great selection of carefully selected premium wines.
