Location
Chalet Acajuma is located in one of France's most chic and desirable ski resorts, Val d'Isère. This stunning Savoyard village has loads of character and charm, plus one of the most highly regarded ski areas in the world. The connected area of Val d'Isère and Tignes offer over 300km of slopes, with something to suit all abilities, plus one of the best snow records in all of France. The chalet can be found on Le Chemin du Petit Alaska, a tranquil and idyllic part of town, set up on the hillside with stunning views over Val d'Isere. The narrow mountain road leading to Chalet Acajuma can be tricky to climb or drive up, with limited lighting and is not best suited for people with pushchairs or mobility issues. The chalet is situated in a pretty and peaceful street just a few minutes' walk to the main high street of Val d'Isère, where you'll find a fantastic selection of bars, shops and restaurants and approximately 10 minutes' walk from the Solaise and Bellevarde lifts. This location give fast access to the whole of the Val d'Isere-Tignes area
The Chalet
Chalet Acajuma is a stylish and high quality property, with a finish that blends chic modern furnishings with traditional Savoyard architecture. With five bedrooms spread across four floors and space to accommodate up to twelve guests, this beautiful property would make the perfect home-from-home for your family or friends. One feature we particularly love about this chalet is the underfloor heating throughout, which can be controlled by individual thermostats for each room.
Entrance to the chalet is on the ground floor, where you'll find a ski and boot store where you can store your equipment, which is also equipped with heated boot driers, to ensure you've got lovely warm toes each morning before hitting the slopes. For added luxury that will set this chalet apart from the crowd, on the ground floor there is a wellness space, with indoor hot tub and sauna, perfect for easing the aches and pains that can come after a long day of attacking the slopes. There is also a separate WC on this floor, so those using the wellness area don't have to dash all the way back upstairs.
Most of the communal living spaces are located on the second floor, where you'll find a beautiful open plan living/kitchen/dining room which has a lovely fireplace, perfect for keeping you toasty and warm on a cold winters night and large picture windows and a sizeable terrace from which you can enjoy the stunning views that Val d'Isère has to offer. The dining table has enough space to seat up to twelve guests, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family that has been prepared in the full equipped kitchen, complete with an oven, four-ring hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, nespresso machine and coffee percolator.
The living room sofas are deep and comfortable and the perfect spot in which to unwind with a glass of wine or hot chocolate by the roaring fire, whilst reading a book or playing a board game with friends, which you'll find a selection of at your disposal in the chalet. If the group can't agree on evening activities, Chalet Acajuma offers an additional TV/sitting room on the first floor with a large flat screen smart TV, so there's no problem if you want to chill out and watch your favourite film or series on Netflix using the chalet's free wifi, whilst others sit and chat or play games by the fireplace upstairs.
There are five comfortable bedrooms in the chalet each with its own flat screen television, so if you fancy a quiet night to yourself one evening, you can curl up in your bed and catch up on your favourite series or just get an early night. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, each with a king size double bed (160cm x 200cm) and en-suite bathrooms, one of which has a shower, the other a bath. The remaining three bedrooms have twin beds (90cm x 200cm), one with a balcony and the others both with en-suite bathrooms, one of which has a bath and the other a shower. These five bedrooms sleep up to ten guests, but if you're looking to squeeze in a couple more, there are two sofa beds that can be made in the television lounge on the first floor. All of the beds have the finest 30cm spring mattresses, as well as memory foam toppers providing the ultimate comfort, although perhaps this may make it a little tricky to get up each morning.
