About this property

Couple's getaway. Large (70m2) 1 bed in Sainte Foy Station.

A large, beautifully renovated 1 bedroom apartment in an old farmhouse spread over 2 floors. At 70sqm Chalet Susie is as large as some 3 bedroom apartments.

Rates are negotiable for stays of 4+ weeks, especially outside the peak weeks of Xmas, New Year and the school holidays. We can also offer a Friday check-in and Sunday check-out for the price of a standard week during these periods. Contact us for details as it is not always possible to reflect longer term offers.

The property was renovated in a traditional style by local craftsmen using high quality materials and features underfloor heating. The interior is completed with a Nero Victorio antique limestone floor and an extremely comfortable Chesterfield suite.

Whilst the apartment is comfortably large enough to accommodate 4 adults using the Chesterfield sofa bed in the living area we have designed it to primarily appeal to couples or young families who might otherwise find themselves having to rent a two bedroom apartment and compromise on the available living space.

The front door opens to a garden area with beautiful and extensive views of the Tarentaise valley.

Chalet Susie offers great walking, hiking and mountain biking opportunities direct from the front door and is superbly located for exploring the wider Haute Tarentaise and Savoie area with its rich and varied history.

The resort itself shares a 25km border with Italy and several historic fortifications are within an easy drive. These include the Fort de la Platte, Fort du Truc and Fort de la Redoute Ruinee.

There are several nature reserves in the area with the Réserve Naturelle des Hauts de Villaroger being a 15 minute drive away. Please be aware that this area serves as a refuge of the Tetras-Lyre and can only be accessed with an approved guide.

The apartment contains several maps and books detailing local walks for all levels of fitness. The walk to the hamlet of Le Monal is easily achievable whilst the return hike to Lac Noir is likely to take most of the day but is well worth the effort. June is a particularly colourful month as the meadow flowers are in full bloom.

The resort's Grand Plan lift opens for foot passengers and mountain bikers during the Summer holiday period, but outside the peak holiday periods the resort is extremely peaceful.

The Winter season:

Contact us if you are interested in a long term stay.

We operate a Sunday changeover for most of the Winter season. This offers clients the dual benefits of travelling to and from the resort when the roads are quiet (the main changeover day in the wider area is Saturday and traffic can be extremely heavy, especially during the peak weeks) and being able to enjoy a Saturday on the slopes as the final day of their holiday (as most people are either leaving or arriving on a Saturday the slopes are generally very quiet on a Saturday).

St Foy apartment
Location excellent clear address details provided to help find the property with no issues Lots of local information provided. Comfortable and spacious for a couple . Quite well equipped however if staying in the summer time a parasol would have been good when sitting in the garden. A little different on entry to the property to the details provided on the site with regards to lighting in the seating area. However we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the surrounding area is spectacular so many different walks close by to enjoy. We would happily stay again.

Fantastic stay in a beautiful apartment!
We are a family of four (2 Adults and 2 children, age 3 & 7) and had a fantastic stay at this beautifully finished property. Although it's a one bedroom property, that bedroom is huge (as is the bed) with stunning views onto the snow capped mountains of the Tarentaise Valley down towards Bourg St Maurice. There was plenty of room for all of our gear which was easily unloaded from the car just outside. The apartment has everything you need for 4 people and has a really REALLY cosy feel - it's been renovated to a high standard and is very tastefully done (love the illuminated steps). There's a coffee machine, fridge freezer, excellent cooker (induction hob and double oven), dishwasher and reasonable size utility room with a washer dryer. After booking, I read the reviews and panicked a little for a moment but DON'T let talk on the reviews page of a 'transfer shuttle' put you off - It's just a 5 minute uphill stroll to the Lift, Shops and Bars (I'm not fit and found this no problem & neither did the children) we didn't even bother looking for the shuttle. On the way back at the end of the day, the ski run to Batalliette finishes very close to the front door (maybe a 90 second walk?) although I believe it is possible to ski even closer to the door through the trees. It really was perfect for our family of four and we would definitely go again.

Propreté, accueil, photos et descriptif à revoir impérativement
Difficile d'être objectif mais essayons néanmoins : ancienne cave aménagée avec un goût certain et des matériaux de qualité. Si vous aimez les endroits sombres, humides et un peu oppressants, vous y serez comme un poisson dans l'eau...

Beautiful chalet in a fantastic location
This is a beautiful, cosy chalet in an ideal location that offers quick and easy access to the slopes and amenities yet is tucked away in a peaceful corner of the resort. The chalet is small but feels spacious, it's very well equipped and everything has been built and furnished to an exceptional standard. We had a wonderful week here and would definitely recommend it for a couple or small family.

Lovely cosy chalet
Family of two adults and two boys aged 10 and 13 stayed over February half term. Chalet Susie was really cosy with an enormous bed and lots of space upstairs. Downstairs is a little more snug, particularly when the sofa bed is pulled out, however there is still plenty of space to store skis, boots, coats etc. Kitchen is fully equipped and the table and chairs are just the right size for a couple or family of 4.

About the host

Hosted by Lee Copson

Host profile image
Lee first discovered Sainte Foy in 2007 and was taken in by the uniqueness of the resort holidaying their regularly. He introduced Rhiannon to the resort a few years later and it had the same effect. In 2012 they bought a 4-story house in an old farm building on the edge of the resort. The property has been professionally renovated using local craftsmen and traditional materials and now consists of 2 very comfortable duplex apartments. We plan to rent the larger of the 2 apartments - Chalet de l'Ours - on an ongoing basis, while making the smaller apartment our permanent home when circumstances permit.

Why they chose this property

Sainte Foy Tarentaise is a gorgeous little ski resort. In contrast to the its larger neighbours (Val d'Isere, Tignes and Paradiski are all within 20 minutes drive) there is a pronounced lack of large concrete buildings. It retains a lovely village atmosphere. The resort has only 4 lifts but queues are almost unheard of. The lack of crowds and relaxed atmosphere make Sainte Foy an ideal place for beginners or for families. However, the lifts also open up an incredible amount of off-piste terrain and this is the resort that local guides and instructors head for on their days off. The resort has some fantastic restaurants and there are a couple of small but lively bars in the central square but those looking for a party atmosphere will be better served elsewhere.

What makes this property unique

Chalet Susie sits on the northerly edge of the resort in the old hamlet of La Bataillette yet the centre of the village and all amenities are only a 5 minute walk away. The apartment is part of an old traditional farmhouse and has been renovated to retain much of the charm of the original property. La Bataillette borders a national park and as such planning restrictions prevent further development to the north, but it is possible to ski to the front door through this area if you have basic off-piste skills.
