<3 "But what truly sets this place apart is its atmosphere~ it’s a live art gallery! Every room bursts with unique, inspiring pieces. I spent the evening sipping on a glass of wine and enjoying the original art. The art here isn’t just decoration; it’s an integral part of the experience. I ended up leaving with a couple of pieces of art to remind me of my stay! I highly recommend this chalet for an experience that’s as enriching as it is comfortable." ~ Sarah, '25
