Exuding an air of distinction, this luxurious alpine haven offers an unparalleled retreat that seamlessly marries tradition with modern indulgence.

Drawing inspiration from the timeless allure of the Belleville Valley, the chalet's design pays homage to classic alpine architecture. The resplendent Chalet Darcy spans a generous expanse of 315 square metres, featuring three levels and a captivating mezzanine. Boasting a total of five ensuite bedrooms, including a lavish master suite, three double bedrooms, and a children's haven, the chalet effortlessly accommodates guests with the utmost comfort and privacy.

Ascending to the zenith of the chalet, one discovers the pinnacle of communal living. A sprawling open-plan layout melds a lavish living room, an elegant dining space, a well-stocked bar, and an avant-garde open kitchen, all cocooned around a central fireplace resounding with warmth. Wood and stone intermingle to evoke the essence of a quintessential mountain lodge, while the mezzanine, home to a playful games room and a cosy TV lounge, extends the conviviality.

Beyond the lavish living spaces, the chalet unveils an oasis of leisure that beckons for repose. An indoor pool invites languid dips, while a rejuvenating sauna promises solace. The outdoor Nordic bath, an epitome of lavishness, offers panoramic views as you immerse yourself in warm, bubbling waters. A private chef is available to guests to masterfully craft delectable dishes, a dedicated housekeeper ensures seamless living and a skilled driver stands ready to whisk you away to nearby attractions.

Stepping outside, a charming cobblestone lane meanders toward the heart of Saint Martin de Belleville. In a mere five-minute jaunt, the village square unfurls its Baroque church, charming shops, and enticing restaurants. From here, the gateway to the boundless expanse of the 3 Valleys opens, beckoning skiers to the world's largest ski domain. As the sun sets over the alpine wonderland, Chalet Darcy stands as a sanctuary of indulgence, a luxurious cocoon where cherished memories unfurl against the backdrop of starlit peaks.
