Set amid pretty gardens, this elegant, charming 19th-century chalet has grand common areas with gleaming wood floors, carpets and period furnishings. The main house is especially attractive: sumptuously decorated rooms with big plush beds, tall French windows, and a downstairs self-serve bar with billiard table. There’s also a whitewashed modern annexe with suites and a small spa complex.
