Chardon is not a traditional chalet but is actually a large comfortable apartment with 8 guest bedrooms and 1 staff bedroom. This is a unique apartment which was once a private residence (of Robert Maxwell!) and the bedrooms and living space reflect this. The furnishings and decoration give it a feeling of warmth and luxury.
The spacious and comfortable lounge and the adjoining terrace face south and have spectacular picture postcard views of the lake with the mountains beyond (the panorama above is taken from the terrace).
Bedrooms
As you might expect from such a residence, the bedrooms vary in size, style and facilities.
Some of the bedrooms are large enough to accommodate an extra bed and we can use bunk beds in some rooms. Using the extra beds and depending on the make up of the group we can fit up to 21 in the chalet. However we will only do this if either one party books the whole chalet or it will not inconvenience the other parties staying in the chalet.
Bedroom 1
The master bedroom has floor to ceiling windows facing South and West with views that surpass those of the lounge. It also has a king sized bed, and an equally magnificent en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath and separate shower. For families this room has enough space to fit an additional 2 single beds if required. We charge a small premium for this room because it enjoys such facilities.
Bedroom 2 and 3
Bedrooms 2 and 3 are a twin and a double respectively with west facing windows. These are not en-suite and share a bathroom that has separate bath and walk-in shower. With the agreement of the guests in room 1, room 2 can use room 1's bathroom as an en-suite. This makes rooms 1 and 2 an ideal combination for families or friends.
Bedroom 4
Bedroom 4 - Is an internal twin room with no windows to the outside. However it does have high level windows which allow some natural light into the room, is mechanically ventilated and has a portable air conditioning unit. This room has an en-suite bathroom.
Bedroom 5 and 6
Bedroom 5 is a triple room which we offer as a twin or triple. Bedroom 6 is a double but can be made into a twin. Bedrooms 5 & 6 share a bathroom in what is essentially a separate area within the chalet. This can be treated as a family apartment and is ideal for a family or group of friends. We have recently refurbished this bathroom and it now includes a bath and seperate shower cubicle.
Bedroom 7
Bedroom 7 - This is a double room with en-suite bathroom. It has large south facing windows opening on to the terrace. We charge a small premium for this room because it is en-suite.
Bedroom 8
Bedroom 8 - This is an internal twin room with no windows to the outside. However it does have high level windows that allow natural light in from the outside and it is mechanically ventilated. This room shares the shower room and WC across the hall with the 2 staff members that live in. This room has a price reduction.
