Our apartment in Megeve

Measuring at just over a whisker by a snippet, our apartment in Megève is the picture of spacious grandeur. With a handy basement location, it means that the lack of windows avoids pesky natural light and the need to be constantly opening and closing curtains (The saved time allowing for one more push of the snooze button). The Lockwood pine finish on not one but two feature walls (plus a feature wall insert, and the bathroom) really gives the room it’s own ‘natural glow’, as does the lack of smoke alarms…

The opulent kitchen has not one but two electric hobs, although the fact that turning the front hob on trips the electrics for the entire apartment means our cooking has taken a spartan, one pot turn. (Not that we cook here much, I think two dinners over a month have been eaten here – it’s hard to turn down three cooked meals a day at the chalet – even though you do have to do more dishes!)

The storage facilities are also excellent, just check out this purpose made snowboard space in between the shower and the toilet...

However, the piece de resistance is clearly the fold out double sofa bed in a stunning shade of faded red. It is available to all and sundry to come and visit (thanks to Dom and Nicky for being our inaugural guests) and we will ply you with chalet leftovers until you’re too fat to even zip up those snow pants or do up that jacket (a state that Amelia is not far from reaching, hence the new rule of croissants only once a week…).

So, roll up, roll up to casa Megève and pay us a visit. Available weeknights, weekdays, weekends and every conceivable time in between until 16 April 2008!
