Chalet Citrine Is A Winter Getaway For Those Who Have Income To Accommodate Good Taste.



above: a combination indoor pool and cinema is just one of the indulgent luxuries at Chalet Citrine

Ah, Wintering for the wealthy.
Winter Escape offers luxurious ski chalets in Verbier, Chamonix, Courchevel, Megève, Val d'Isère and Zermatt. Each Chalet is named after a gemstone and all of them are drop dead gorgeous. But the Citrine Chalet (also known as the Chalet L'Hotse) especially caught my eye with its combination indoor swimming pool/cinema (shown above).





This 5 suite chalet sleeps 10 adults and two children and comes with a full professional staff, including a Michelin-trained chef, concierge, chambermaids and beauty therapist.





The Chalet Citrine has a spacious open plan living space, complete with grand piano, bar and a lounge, making it a great place for socializing. The main living area opens out onto various terraces and provides stunning views of the La Face piste. Your dinner is served in the adjacent dining room, which features both contemporary and characteristic cowhide chairs.





The games room is the perfect place to entertain your little ones, while the reading room provides a hideaway that allows you to delve into that much anticipated novel.




In addition to the adult bedrooms (each of which has their own en-suite bath and a balcony), there are two extra beds in a sixth room in the mezzanine for children.








Chalet Citrine’s Master Suite displays a one-of-a-kind double bathtub, which has been cut out of a single piece of granite.





There is also a fully equipped gym, a massage treatment room, an outdoor jacuzzi, steam room and indoor pool with a giant cinema screen.






The Chalet combines a traditional alpine style with contemporary designer pieces and features impressive reclaimed Mongolian furnishings.




Sitting right in the heart of Val d’Isère, Chalet Citrine is just a short stroll to all the action of this buzzing resort and just a five minute chauffeured drive to the Solaise lift, one of the main lifts of the area. Chalet Citrine is the perfect location for a friends’ reunion or your family holiday.

Val d’isère
The legendary ski resort of Val d’Isère sits high up in the Tarentaise Valley, close to the French-Italian border, and showcases traditional Savoyarde architecture. It owes its ‘must-ski’ status to its incredible snow record and easy, extensive access to off-piste terrain. With skiing up to 3,600 metres high, Val d’isere is probably one of the most snow-sure villages in Europe: the Pissaillas Glacier even offers both summer and winter skiing. Sitting at an altitude of 1850 metres, it’s a firm favourite with expert skiers, who gravitate here to ski the infamous Olympic downhill run, La Face. Nevertheless, there is plenty of variety for novice skiers and an almost infinite choice for adventurous intermediates. The Espace Killy ski area, which also includes the neighbouring resort of Tignes, boasts more than 300 kilometres of pistes alone. The attractive resort centre has a great range of stylish bars, boutiques and restaurants. In addition, both in summer and in winter, the Henri Oreiller Centre offers an Olympian setting for scientific conventions and motivational meetings for executives and sales teams.

The Chalet Citrine Experience includes:
• Sleeps 10 adults and 2 children: 5 suites, all with en-suite bathroom and 1 children’s room with 2 beds
• 350m² of rustic alpine luxury, with contemporary furnishings and impressive craftsmanship
• Swimming pool, which also functions as a cinema
• Fully equipped gym, Jacuzzi, steam room and a massage treatment room
• Professional staff, including Michelin-trained chef, concierge, chambermaids and beauty therapist
• Game and entertainment room
• In-resort chauffeur driven 4×4 cars 24/7
• Airport pick-up and drop-off
• VIP night at Club Doudoune for all
• Snowmobile racing for 10 adults
• Ice diving for 4 adults

The Urban Campsite's Coolest Caravan, The Marquis by Eduard Bohtlingk.



Annette van Driel and Francis Nijenhuis are the initiators of The Urban Campsite, a campsite where camping and art come together for six weeks a year. From August 16 to September 30, 2013 Urban Campsite (located on the Vliegenbos campsite in Amsterdam) has one of a kind, artistic, unusual and sometimes just crazy mobile facilities in which you can stay overnight. Several of the mobile structures there have received architectural awards and honors, one of which is the expandable mobile camper designed by Eduard Bohtlingk.

Riet Eeckhout Combines Modern With Victorian in Stanhope Gardens Apartment Restoration.





This extraordinary 3-4 bedroom apartment occupies the top 3 floors of a magnificent Grade-II listed building on one of South Kensington’s most prestigious garden squares (private access granted). It has a dramatic and imaginative interior designed by the architect Riet Eeckhout.



The apartment is the result of two years of planning and listed-building consent, alongside a complete restoration and modernisation of the interior spaces with an artisanal attention to detail. Eeckhout has restored the original Victorian features while making sculptural insertions that bring the spaces to life.



The property is entered on the third floor (there is no lift), and offers almost 1,800 sq ft of internal space. The lower floor contains a wonderful open-plan reception room and kitchen with a double aspect. The middle floor has two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, as well as a study, and there is a further double bedroom and bathroom in the eaves on the top floor.



The centrepiece of the reception room is a storage unit in African Cavazinca, which folds around the space and forms the doors for the kitchen units, providing a visual contrast to the Porfido granite worktops.






The bedrooms have bespoke wardrobes in white oak. The property has been rewired, replumbed and sound-proofed, with electric under-floor heating in the bathrooms and Miele appliances in the kitchen.










The double bedroom and bathroom located in the eaves on the top floor:





Situated in the museum district of South Kensington, Stanhope Gardens is bounded by Gloucester Road and Queensgate to the west and east, Cromwell road to the north and Old Brompton Road to the south. Local transport links include the Piccadilly, Circle and District lines from both Gloucester Road and South Kensington tube stations, and direct buses to the West End and Knightsbridge. The A4/M4 from Heathrow Airport links directly to Cromwell road, off Stanhope Gardens. Both resident-permit and metered parking are available.

This property is being offered through The Modern House for £2,250,000
