The luxurious partial refurbishment includes spacious master suites, new bathrooms and a special ‘kids corner’ alcove with cabin-style bunkbeds, promising a sumptuous stay for multigenerational families, friends and corporate groups alike.

Set in its own secluded orchards, Méribel’s Chalet Iona offers unparalleled views across 13 pretty villages and settlements – stretching towards the Vanoise National Park and the magnificent Grand Bec mountain. Wonderfully private and secluded, the property is found at the edge of the rustic mid-17th century hamlet of Le Villard, where the old chapel, bread oven and freshwater well are still very much in evidence. A mere 10–15-minute drive to the main lifts, ski school and après ski activities, it is a true hidden find and a blissful getaway from the crowds.

Luxurious New Master Suites, Bathrooms and Children’s Bunk Room

Chalet Iona’s bedrooms have been luxuriously remodelled for the winter season to provide three sprawling master suites, ensuring every corner of the residence provides a never-ending wow factor with truly magnificent views. The bedrooms have been elegantly appointed in decadent jewel tones complete with the most luxurious of linens and furnishings. One of the master suites includes a bunk niche, providing plenty of room for the whole family to spread out and relax following a day on the slopes. The lower bunk features swish velvet curtains to provide a luxury sleeper train feel, with the beds large enough to comfortably accommodate teens or adults for additional flexibility.

Each master bedroom’s en-suite bathroom has been beautifully remodelled to include a bathtub, double shower and bidet with stylish tiling and carefully considered lighting. Elsewhere, the property features an additional two double bedrooms, including one with balcony access.

The entrance of the property opens into a large, high-ceilinged living dining area featuring a dramatic, suspended fireplace. Ideal for hosting large group celebrations, the space is kitted out with vintage Danish furniture and a huge, handmade oak dining table close to the large East-facing panoramic windows. A second spacious living room on the lower level with board games, large screen TV and an extensive selection of old-school vinyl records are on offer for guests to enjoy along with a sauna and outdoor hot tub.

With an open plan layout that is perfect for large groups and multi-generational families, Iona also has an annexe property for use, the classically alpine Chalet India, offering an additional den for teens, an annexe for friends and extended family or a secluded space for work.
