Decently poised on the edge of happening Megève, this ski recluse sits well off the everyman radar in the French Alps. Conceived as a chalet retreat away from the maddened crowd, the place adopts chocolate box Amor redesigned for the modern urbanite seeking privacy - a taste of France.

Subtle in every sense, tonal grained woods mirror the earthy shades that cast the frame in which a particular softness envelopes, void of the twee, filled rather with ever so clever indices of local cultural. Expect here the luxury spec interior with huge deep linen sofas around the fire with small corners to escape and spacey lounges form the focal point to mingle over a drink before alpine supper, but only if you wish. This is a hub that caters equally to the adrenalin socialite as it does to those seeking a little solace.

An edgy little number set in peaceful natural surrounds.
