Offering traditional-style chalet accommodation in Megeve, Les Fermes de Marie has been overhauled and renovated and will re-open as a five star property. The 71 rooms, each with a view of the mountains or the garden, are traditionally comfortable with bare wooden walls and furniture broken up by small paintings and warm furnishings. The low-ceilinged library is a good place for some peace and quiet, while the deep sofas of the vaulted bar are ideal for relaxed drinks. Three different restaurant spaces range from the rough wooden Traditional Restaurant to the very designed Les Enfants Terribles. There are two more mountain restaurants from the same team – one, the Alpage, is only open in summer. The now obligatory spa rounds off this deeply luxurious Megeve hotel with 17 different treatment rooms, outdoor hot tub and extensive range of treatments. Just 10 minutes walk from the centre of town the rooms don’t come cheap with singles starting at €265.
