"I've lived in the apartment in Chalet Tarine since December and I think it is the most wonderful place I have ever lived in wish I could be here all year round" . R.C March 2010

This lovely one bedroom apartment was converted from the living accommodation on the ground floor of the original old stone farmhouse, 'Chalet Tarine'. It is extremely spacious and has a bright south facing aspect with a sunny terrace. There are pleasant views of the village to the mountains beyond from both the bedroom and the living room windows. There's a lovely south facing patio-terrace with views.

The kitchen has a hand made table, big enough to entertain several guests and there is a very unusual working stone fireplace in the living room. There's a sofa and comfy chair, TV/Satellite and DVD. The kitchen area is well fitted out with modern oven/hob and dishwasher.

The bedroom has a hand crafted double bed along with a single bed, there is also a camp bed available. The bedroom has a mellow old wooden ceiling with beams, and the bathroom is a particular feature with an extraordinary bath set in large alpine stone. There is a separate shower, basin and WC.

The apartment is accessed by its own external front door, the original front door from this charming old village home, the apartment stays beautifully cool during hot summer months. Very sunny garden area by front door facing south with bench. Wondeful summer location , 10 minutes from Bourg St Maurice with its funicular to Les Arcs and numerous summer mountain activities.
