Chalet Vanda in Breuil-Cervinia, Italy

This sleek and sophisticated chalet sits in a breath-taking spot beneath Mount Cervino. The chalet takes the bones of a traditional ski chalet experience – a sustainable wooden building, snowy mountain views and wonderfully warm hospitality – and adds its own modern stamp of style. It’s cosy in a contemporary way, with floor-to-ceiling windows always putting you right in the heart of the Alps. No décor detail is overlooked, and guests will admire the floating fires, opulent pendant lighting and floor lamps that are works of art.

The stand-out feature here is the private spa; unwind in the 12-person indoor Jacuzzi or Finnish sauna and refresh in the invigorating chromotherapy showers. For the ultimate sense of place, this ski chalet has a solarium where you can sit out and let the snow fall around you beside the roaring open fire.

With a lift accessing all floors, the property has been designed to be a fully accessible luxury ski chalet in Italy. Sociable spaces include two inviting lounges and a fully equipped kitchen with a handy snack counter if you get hungry between meals.

Bedrooms all come with a minibar and Nespresso machine, TV and ensuite bathroom featuring Acqua di Parma products. Each room also has a private balcony so you can throw open the doors and enjoy coffee in bed, taking in the fresh mountain air and snowy scenes.
