Chalet Eco Farm, Chamonix Les Houches

10 Guests · 5 Bedrooms · 210 sq. m. · Chamonix Les Houches · France

Eco Farm is a charming retreat offering the best of both worlds; a mountain farmhouse sympathetically restored retaining many original features combined with contemporary elements in a light open-plan space. It is one of only a handful of authentic farmhouses in the Chamonix valley available for rental and also provides an impressive array of eco credentials to satisfy the eco conscious amongst us! Ideally located just minutes walk from the Bellevue ski lifts (and bottom of the Kandahar run) local amenities and restaurants. Eco farm is also just a short 8-10 minute drive from Chamonix town itself.

We spent 5 years renovating chalet Eco Farm, a real labour of love! With a myriad of Chamonix chalets to choose from Eco Farm offers you something special.... and original, the wonderful ambience of a 230yr old mountain farmhouse combined with modern, luxurious facilities, adored by all who stay.

We eschewed much of the modern building finishes and chose instead to up-cycled the weathered wooden panelling, show off the beams and to salvage as much as we could from the original building, to emphasise the farms rustic beginnings. Combining this with modern elements such as underfloor heating, large velux windows, deep Italian sofa's and open-plan kitchen and dining space gives the chalet a wonderful informality and makes it perfect for sharing with friends or family.

In the bedrooms; hotel standard superking (or twin) divan beds, crisp white bed linen, goose feather duvets and beautifully finished bathrooms using Italian limestone tiles give these rooms cosy vintage-appeal.

The main living room is double aspect with exposed beams, velux windows and double balcony doors. These let in lot's of light and offer alluring panoramic views of the valley and Les Houches pistes and forests.
