should check out a few of the best holiday homes in Europe for winter fun...
Chalet in Sainte Foy, France
This luxury chalet is in a truly wonderful setting. The large open fireplace
will welcome you after skiing right to your front door. Sainte Foy has its own
largely uncrowded ski area and is a perfect base to visit some of France's best
ski slopes. It sleeps a maximum of 12 people and is ideal for a group of
friends, as each bedroom has an en suite bathroom with under-floor heating. The
chalet itself is located in a small village which has been created
sympathetically to nestle amongst mountains and blend with the local
architecture.
Chalet Miro in Nendaz, Swiss Alps
Situated in Haute Nendez with awe-inspiring views across the Rhone Valley
this chalet sleeps 10, and is ideal for families. It offers a hot tub, terraces,
an open fireplace and under-floor heating through-out. The view isn't the only
benefit from its location as it's only a few minutes' walk from all the local
bars and restaurants, perfect for après ski. Nendaz is in the Four Valleys ski
region which also includes Verbier, Veysonnaz, La Tsoumaz and Thyon. This region
has a total of 412km of pistes and is famous for its children's facilities.
Nendaz literally offers everything a family could ever need - from child-minding
to toy hire.
Luxnachmuhle Castle in East Tyrol, Austria
As holiday homes go this is
spectacular: this famous former monastery dates back to 1200 and was lovingly
restored to its former glory in 1998. This is more a luxury hotel than a holiday
home - all rooms have mini bars, television and CD players. It sleeps 30 guests
comfortably, however, and you can book individual rooms if you wish. Some rooms
even have their own fireplace and more than one bathroom! This is luxury as you
could only ever wish for, with four poster beds, separate living rooms adjoining
some bedrooms, a spa and their own natural spring water! Yes, the grounds
surrounding the castle actually have their own spring among a swimming pool and
landscaped gardens. The area of East Tyrol has more than 60 mountains and
includes the regions of Matrei and Kals. This area is famed for its off-piste
opportunities as well as having 3000 metres of slopes.
Chalet Hyberna's in Courchevel, France
Chic, modern, elegant and luxurious describes this chalet with magnificent
views. This is one of the most perfectly styled and located holiday homes and
with the option to ski in and ski out of this property who would want more?
Chalet Hyberna sleeps ten in five bedrooms which all benefit from their own
bathrooms and televisions. Throughout the chalet the Alps can be seen just to
tease you back onto the slopes. Courchevel has a history of very good snow fall
and excellent terrain for all levels. If you get bored of the immediate slopes
around the chalet you can venture into the other areas of The Three Valleys
which make up one of the biggest linked resorts in the world.
