Chalet Brickell, Megeve, France
It sounds ridiculous, but the thing that initially caught our eye about Chalet Bricknel (main image), was the underground car park. It’s not because we’re easily pleased either, just look at it! It looks more like a contemporary art space than somewhere to park your SUV. A pop art version of Steve McQueen presides over space for jeeps, limos or even a number of hummers (hummi?).
Found in the Rhones-Alpes region of southeastern France, the commune of Megeve is utterly stunning, and the chalet (as you would imagine, you’ve seen the car park right?) is catered to your every need. Designed by at team of Italian artisans, the oak floors add real elegance when combined with the modern, often custom-made, furniture.
When it comes to entertainment off the slopes, you’re spoiled for choice, with a cinema, gym, wine cellar, and nightclub. You would hope it’s one that you’re guaranteed to get lucky in. Your house, your rules, can’t argue with that.
Finally, if you’re still struggling, just have a quiet word with one of you members of staff. A driver, fitness instructor, chef, and concierge are on hand as and when you need them.
