Petrichor & Pine

Petrichor & Pine: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

If you're craving an invigorating mountain getaway in an idyllic location, look no further than this charming home in the French Alps. You'll find this tucked away in the picturesque Méribel Village, surrounded by a cluster of chalets and evergreens. Boasting a private hot tub and spa, this home beckons you to relax in the splendour of its enchanting surroundings.

Here, the snow-capped slopes of Les Trois Vallées are yours for the taking. The nearest pistes and chairlifts are just five minutes away on foot, while restaurants, shops and ample après-ski opportunities are within walking distance. If you're visiting during the warmer months, the verdant landscape boasts ample hiking and cycling routes. Spend your days exploring the sublime, untouched beauty of Vanoise National Park, the Tueda Nature Reserve is a thirty-minute drive away.

From the offset, this home oozes chalet charm. Inside, it's all timber cladding and cosy textiles, while large windows usher sunlight to flood the spacious rooms. The lavish bedrooms promise dreamy mountain views after a restful slumber. We love the open-plan living area, with its two snug lounges and large balcony. After hitting the slopes, spend your downtime here, gathered around the majestic dining table for hearty home-cooked meals, or curled up in the lounge beside the warm glow of the wood-burning fireplace.
