The Ferme de Marco Polo was completed in 2007 after a 3 year extensive renovation procedure. Originally built between the 1st and 2nd W

Booking Chalet Marco Polo gives you exclusive use of the top two floors of the building. This comprises on the first floor a large comfortable lounge and dining area with a wood burner and access to the large south east facing balcony. On this level there is also a seperate TV room with large screen LCD TV, a cloakroom, the laundry room with washing machine and tumble drier, the well equiped kitchen and the first and largest of the 6 bedrooms. This double bedroom is large enough to take an extra bed and has an en-suite bathroom with integral shower. It is planned to install a spa bath before the coming winter season.

orld wars the farm followed a pattern found widely in this part of the Haute Savoie. In the renovation much of the existing timber was reused to offer a pleasant blend of new and old. In order to achieve a high level of comfort and to comply with todays eco-friendly requirements two of the levels are equiped with underfloor central heating, all the windows are double glazed and the timber clad walls are insulated with 30cms of rockwool.

The open plan staircase leads you to the balcony and mezzanine where you will find a cosy area reserved for reading. There are two large bookcases full of classic books and reference works about the alps. Here you will also find the 5 remaining bedrooms. 3 of these are again large enough to take an extra bed and have their own bathrooms. The 4th double/twin bedded room and 5th room containing Bunk beds are connected by their own corridor and share a bathroom. We call this the family suite. All the double beds can be split into singles to make twin bedded rooms.

All the ensuite bathrooms are fully tiled and have 170cm baths with integral showers. We plan to install spa baths in two of these before the coming winter season.
