Chalet Edmee in La Clusaz, France

At first glance this farm built in 1900 has all the hallmarks of a traditional chalet. But as soon as you step inside you’ll see that the owners have done an amazing job of bringing it right up to date, with the modern comforts and conveniences you need for an unforgettable holiday – including an indoor pool with a counter current and jacuzzi!

There is plenty of space at this luxury property which is in a peaceful location just 1.2km from the pistes. The centre of La Clusaz, with all its shops, restaurants and bars, is 1.6km away – a 20-minute walk.

The spacious accommodation at this beautiful home is set over four floors and is bathed in sunlight throughout, thanks to the large windows.

You might have to flip a coin to see who gets the fabulous master suite, which takes up the whole of the top floor. It has a small lounge area, a large open plan corner bath and a double shower, as well as a separate toilet.

The main entrance to the chalet has been totally renovated and leads into a spacious hall on the first floor. This is where you will find the main living areas. There’s a large open plan lounge with an extensive library, and sofas and armchairs facing the suspended fireplace, plus a second lounge area with TV. These are great spaces in which to chat with friends, plan the next day or simply relax with a drink in the evenings. There’s also a balcony enclosed by glass – perfect for taking in the magnificent view, whatever the weather.

There’s a separate TV room with more sofas and an area with table football, which is a great place for teenagers to hang out. The dining table is big enough for everyone to eat together, and there’s also a central island with a breakfast bar in the kitchen.

There are four more en suite bedrooms on the ground floor – one double, two twin bedrooms which can be made up as doubles and a children’s room, which has two twin beds with two bunk beds over – a great place for sleepovers! Children of all ages will also love the games room on this floor, which can accommodate two adults on a sofa bed.

The lower ground floor is where you will find the garage with a ski store and boot warmer, and the fabulous swim spa which has a counter-current at one end and a jacuzzi at the other! There are also two double bedrooms on this floor, one with a bath and shower room and the other has a bathroom.
