Penthouse Axel in Les Gets, France

Smart, contemporary and always welcoming. Sounds like you? Then you’ll be perfectly suited to this luxury ski penthouse in Les Gets.

This wonderful penthouse is in a great location right in the heart of Les Gets. It’s a 150m stroll to the Mont Chery cable car and the Chavannes ski lift is close by, but you’re also right in the thick of all the boutiques, bars and restaurants of the town.

Inside the apartment, a huge open-plan living space makes this a really sociable holiday home for a group. A contemporary dining area makes for happy, chatty dinners, the bar at the edge of the spacious and well-equipped kitchen means whoever is cooking can talk to the rest of the party, and around the impressive feature fireplace there’s a huge u-shaped sofa so that everyone has a nice warm seat by the fire. The living spaces and indeed the rest of the apartment are beautifully decorated in warm, rustic woods and a palette of greys and neutrals for a really restful feel.

Entertainment space is carefully thought out, with a games and TV room for the kids to make their own as well as a separate TV snug, so there will never be a disagreement about what to watch. And if you should feel the call of a little me time, the study with Apple Mac computer is the perfect place to escape to.

For those who like their ski holiday with plenty of pampering, there’s a lovely wellness suite complete with sauna and treatment rooms with heated massage bed. The spa manager will pop by at the start of your stay to talk you through the treatments available, from facials to massages and more, all accompanied by herbal teas and fresh fruit platters.

Before you slope off to your luxury en-suite bedroom and the comfort of high-quality cotton sheets, make sure you make time for a nightcap out on the balcony. With views over both the mountain and the town, there’s no finer spot to round off the evening.
