About this property

Marius's Retreat - The Merchant's House

  • Come and discover the completely renovated apartment of an authentic Savoy peddler, Marius. This charming F2 of 55m2 located on the ground floor of the authentic "Grange de Marius", is fully equipped, with a small adjoining garden. Simply composed of a single bedroom with its double bed, with bathroom and living room, open kitchen.

    In the heart of the mountain ranges, the famous "Peddler's Accommodation" promises you a timeless escape, for a stay...

    At an altitude of 1600 m, this charming F2 of 55m2 equipped located on the garden level of the authentic chalet "grange à Marius", can accommodate 4 people (a couple with 1 or 2 children). It has:
    - A warm single room with a comfortable king-size bed.
    - A bathroom adjoining the bedroom
    - A lounge area equipped to meet up after a day in the great outdoors and modular which offers two additional beds thanks to the sofa beds
    An open kitchen with everything you need to prepare your mountain meals.

    Outdoors & Environment
    - The little extra: Enjoy an adjoining garden, perfect for getting some fresh air or letting the children play.
    - Exceptional location: At the foot of the Aiguilles d'Arves, you are at the direct start of the trails (hiking, cycling) and 10 minutes from the Col du Mollard lake.
    - The Hamlet: Live to the rhythm of this "little hamlet of diehards", synonymous with absolute calm and fresh air.
    - Amenities: Although nestled in the middle of nature, you are only 15 minutes by car from everything you need (restaurants, bakery, artisanal cheese shop, pharmacy...).


    The little extra for groups: Are you travelling in large numbers? This apartment can be coupled with the apartment "La Grange de Marius" located on the upper floor, allowing to accommodate 4 additional people. (Check out the dedicated ad on my profile).

This place is unbelievably good value for money. Full sized kitchen, really lovely living room to hang out, and huge bedroom with a very comfy bed. The bathroom was also very spacious. The hosts were very accommodating, and the check-in experience was lovely! It is a beautiful little town, and I was delighted to find out that they have snowshoes for guests to use - did a wonderful winter hike throughout the surrounding hills, which was very special. Les Sybelles is very close by for skiing, and it is even in reach of Orelle by car, which was easy enough to get to. Just remember to bring chains in case there is a big snow fall! I would come back here in a heartbeat!

Vraiment sympathique et calme

Un chouette petit deux pièces dans un chouette petit village. L'accueil est chaleureux, le propriétaire communique rapidement et de manière très agréable. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce petit chalet de Savoie et avons fait de belles rencontres et de magnifiques randonnées. Merci beaucoup.

Heerlijke week gehad

Alles was uitstekend voor elkaar,huis was prachtig ingericht,de ontvangst was vriendelijk, het was er schoon en mooier in werkelijkheid dan op de foto's. Enige kleine minpuntje was,het was niet een huis voor jezelf,er zat een verdieping boven die ook verhuurd werd,en dat was soms wat rumoerig. Niet omdat de andere gasten lastig waren,maar door een houten vloer hoor je nu eenmaal meer . Verder was er geen eigen terras of buitenruimte bij waar je fatsoenlijk kon zitten. Maar al met al hebben we een heerlijke week gehad, in een prachtig gedeelte van het huis en in de schitterende Alpen!
