Chez Savoy

Built especially for us a decade ago, Chez Savoy is in many ways the ideal chalet. Nothing too flash. No gold taps or heated loo seats.

The chalet is on four floors, with underfloor heating throughout. The boot warmer is on the ground floor, in the boot room shared with our adjoining Chalet La Moraine.

It is a local tradition to get planning permission for three floors and squeeze in a fourth. This may explain why although the top floor of Chez Savoy is perfectly high enough, you’ll knock yourself out on the low ceiling over the stairs. Or perhaps it’s the owner’s trademark: he also built Les Gnellets, next door, where you knock yourself out twice.

You can see the first-floor sitting room on our photos. It’s a good room, with its log fire and mural showing how the site once looked, and views up Solaise.

There are five comfortable bedrooms, one rather larger than the others, one slightly smaller, one with a double bed on a sort of platform, round the corner from an extra single bed that can be taken at half price (flight seats may be limited), and five decent bathrooms (three showers, two baths, three en-suite wcs, two extra wcs).

Rooms in order of preference (in our opinion):

Bedroom 1: Twin (14’ x 9’) on second floor, with en-suite bathroom with wc. French window onto balcony.
Bedroom 2: Double (11’2” x 8’6”) on second floor, with en-suite shower and wc and french window to balcony.
Bedroom 3: Twin/double (17’3” x 11’ 2”). A large, L-shaped room on the second floor with a double bed up a few steps, away from the single. En-suite shower with wc.
Bedroom 4: Large twin (11’4” x 10’6” plus more under eaves) on third floor with own little balcony, en-suite bath and basin.
Bedroom 5: Twin (12’7” x 9’6”) on third floor, much of it very low, being tucked under the eaves. En-suite shower and basin. The window in this room does not open.
Sitting-Dining Room: (21’ x 14’) Occupies whole first floor, with open-plan kitchen, log fire and doors to wide balcony.WiFi.
Extra Wcs: Two – one outside living room, one on third floor.
Extra Bed: Double/single combination in Bedroom 3.

Chez Savoy’s position is excellent: in the little farming hamlet of Le Joseray, next to our chalets La Moraine and Les Gnellets, three minutes from the edge of the piste and Solaise cable car, six from the village centre.
