Property description

Firstly, this is a very spacious property at approximately 117 square metres of internal floor space. Secondly, on a price per square metre basis, this apartment represents exception value, approaching that of new build cost today. Thirdly, this is an extremely simple but chic property in what could easily be described as a boutique-type development nestled into the ski slopes. This is a comparatively small ski development and this apartment is located on the upper floors, thus it has the best of both worlds. In terms of the interior specification, it is simply superb; ultra-modern fitted  kitchen, fully-tiled bathroom and extremely pleasant decor, plus all rooms are good-sized. The combination of dark wooden kicthen cabinets and furniture trim including window frames, with the light and natural wall colourings, makes for a clean look and spacious ambience. This is certainly not typical of ski properties, which tend to lean towards the compact and bijou style. This apartment breaks that mold. The modern flat panel wall radiators also add to the ambience, suggesting a very cosy property and is more in keeping with western European style. Finally, the bedrooms are quite sumptuous with high specification detailing, notably the dark wooden headboards and matching cabinets/wardrobes, as well as the large windows with heavy drapes - bright during the day and sufficiently dark at night, so perfect for a restful vacation. This is an excellent all-round property, ideal for those seeking a large ski property, at the same time, it doubles nicely as a superb rental proposition.
