About this property

Beautifully Restored Large Historical Chalet With All Modern Amenities

A historically significant building in the village which has been recently renovated to very high standards and modern specification.

With total living space of 380m2, sleeping 12, it features stylish entertaining spaces as well as traditional chalet cosiness.

Divisible into two parts: a main chalet with, at ground level, a stunning vaulted reception room with two fire places and stone floors, exceptional views and access to a large garden, two dining areas ideal for large gatherings, a master bedroom floor with media entertainment room, and further bedrooms on the top floor (total number of beds sleeping six people). Large garden and beautiful terrace for summer barbeques and many balconies for winter sun.

The second part, the lower ground floor has a spacious two bedroom apartment with beds to accommodate up to six people, two bathrooms (one en-suite) as well as a beautiful custom made sauna, living room with a fireplace and open plan kitchen and access to its own terrace and garden. Depending on availability, it may be possible to rent just one of these two parts of the chalet. Please contact the owner for relevant rates.

The village has an unrivalled position in the Alps being located close to the pleasant rolling pastures and forests whilst enjoying breathtaking views due south on to the highest mountains of the Mont Blanc area which receive magnificent plays of light at both sunrise and sunset. Winter is beautiful, as is the Summer. The autumn colours are special too.

July 2023 Holiday
We had a wonderful stay at Paivi’s chalet and could not recommend it more highly. The location in Chesieres is terrific, offering excellent elevated views and walkability into town. There’s a really terrific grocer and butcher less than one block away, which was a terrific amenity! As for the chalet itself, it’s really beautiful and spacious. The chalet is extremely well equipped, and we had everything we need to cook for 8 people over the course of two weeks. The beds are comfortable, the furniture is very high quality, and it generally feels like a luxury property! The historic construction and attention to detail are really special, and the feeling of the property is warm, cozy, and classically Swiss. We will absolutely return for future vacations!

Great NY break
Lovely spacious chalet, easily enough space for 2 families (9 people in all). The chalet has everything you need to have a fun time. It’s a drive to the lift but we had a great last minute break.

About the host

Why they chose this property

The chalet is a real original chalet with charming carvings throughout and inscriptions commemorating the Great War in 1916.

Villars is an enlightened mountain resort which has always been open to international visitors and hosts several long established high end international boarding schools ensuring that there is activity in the village in all seasons.

Its general sunny aspect and the array of views - from the chain of mountains to the east bathed in pink sunsets from the last rays of the setting sun - to the Argentiere - Trient peaks of the Mont Blanc area, due South - to the Dents du Midi - takes some beating.

What makes this property unique

The Chalet was sensitively renovated and furnished as a family home in 2010. It was designed for all year round occupation and has a range of spaces for gathering together or for relaxing in privacy. It is constructed out of wood (rather than being made of concrete clad with wood panels). For sauna connoisseurs, there is an original Finnish sauna, commissioned by the Finnish owner. Baker, grocer, butcher and ski hire shop are 2 minutes away.
