This gorgeous 18th century Savoyard farmhouse has got the lot — ancient beams, open log fire, chandeliers, old wood everywhere, rustic walls, plus sauna and outdoor hot tub. It’s also within walking distance of buzzing Morzine and is self-catered, meaning you can stay somewhere stunning and centrally located without it breaking the bank.
La Ferme a Mamy combines ancient with modern. It has been beautifully reclaimed from its 18th century farmhouse roots and has been fully refurbished to retain all of its original features – slate floors, ancient beams, open log fire, rustic walls, and spacious rooms. It has a wonderful ambience that reflects its history, plus a real sense of comfort, space and luxury. There is also a separate TV lounge from the main living area, adding to the space.
The bedrooms at La Ferme a Mamy are stylish, elegant and have heaps of space. The chalet has three doubles/twins with ensuite showers, two ensuite triple rooms (one of which has a bath), plus a spacious family room sleeping 4 adults with an ensuite shower. Each room is supplied with bathrobes, slippers, flannels plus lovely complimentary T London toiletries.
La Ferme a Mamy is a luxury self-catered chalet, but they have a network of chefs they can recommend so you can combine dining out in Morzine’s superb range of restaurants with cooking for yourselves or hiring in a chef.
La Ferme a Mamy has both a sauna and a steaming hot tub which is located on the terrace and which can be reached through the patio doors on the first floor of the chalet.
This child-friendly chalet really looks after little ones. It provides a cot, high chair, car seat and a baby welcome pack including nappies/wipes etc to get you started on your holiday. For the older children it has Netflix and a Wii to keep them entertained. There is also a separate TV snug/second living room where children can play away from the adults.
The real sense of history in the chalet plus all the lovely dark wood and its charming, spacious rooms.
If cutting edge contemporary is your thing, then this isn’t the chalet for you. It oozes ancient chalet charm.

GUESTBOOK
‘I wanted to keep this a secret but at the same time, this chalet is so worthy of an honest review, and we all thought it was brilliant from start to finish. This is our first catered chalet experience as a family of four skiing. We will definitely return — no need to look anywhere else as this has it all.’
‘We had a fantastic stay at La Ferme a Mamy and it was, without a doubt, the best chalet holiday we have ever had (and there have been many!). By the end of the week we all agreed that there was not a single thing that could have been better.’
‘We have just returned from a week in the wonderful La Ferme a Mamy. We have stayed here before and thought that it could not be any better than our first visit. How wrong could we be!’

Remember, I have visited all the chalets we feature so can give you totally unbiased, independent advice on all of them. The prices I quote are also the list prices quoted by the chalets themselves, so there is no advantage in going to the chalets direct.
