Chalet Brio

Chalet Brio in Flaine is situated on the edge of a small hamlet called L'Etelley, just across the river from Samoens. The main lifts of Samoens, Morillon and Vercland are a very short drive away. Newly finished, Chalet Brio has been designed and built with lots of light, space and comfort in mind, filled with favourite old pieces and paintings mixed with contemporary furnishings, so that it feels both lived in and comfortable.

There are four lovely en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor, all with French windows opening into the gardens, and a large fifth bedroom in the eaves. This room is linked to an annexe ideal for children or additional family members, allowing the chalet to comfortably take up to 16 guests. Upstairs on the first floor you'll find a spacious open plan living room and dining room with two large east and west facing balconies looking out over the meadows and woods on one side and a pretty view over the rooftops towards Mont Criou on the other. Inside, the wood burning stove keeps you warm when the temperature drops, and you can flop into the large comfy sofas or find a quiet space to read. There is also satellite TV, DVD, Bose music system with iPod connection, a separate games area with a Wii and Wi-Fi throughout.

All the heating and hot water comes from a ground geothermal system so there is lots of hot water available. Outside the large garden extends up the hillside which is perfect for tobogganing, and there is plenty of space for parking.

Chalet Brio can be taken together with La Terrasse (the separate apartment) which means large groups of 22 people can stay in eight bedrooms, with seven bathrooms, two large living areas and a separate kitchen. This is ideal when you all want to stay together but appreciate some separate space.

All of the bedrooms are individually decorated, the beds have good quality mattresses, down duvets and smooth cotton sheets, all the bathrooms have decent size towels, heated towel rails, underfloor heating and a selection of toiletries.

Please note that you are highly recommended to bring your own vehicle(s) to access the nearby lifts.
