Smart Choices, Endless Options: Self-Catered

October 30, 2024  · 
Smart Choices, Endless Options: Self-Catered

Opting for a luxury self-catered property in the Alps is a smart way to make your budget go further without compromising on quality. These properties offer the same stunning interiors and amenities as catered chalets, but removing services like a private chef or butler can significantly reduce costs. You can enjoy flexible dining options—whether it’s using food delivery services, dining out in the resort, or cooking together in a fully equipped kitchen. Many self-catered options also offer additional services like daily housekeeping or bed and breakfast, blending the privacy of a chalet with the conveniences of a hotel.

Whether you're looking for purely self-catered, serviced, or bed and breakfast, there is a huge range from high-end opulence to more accessible luxury. 

With our extensive portfolio and the growing demand for this flexible style of accommodation, our team is ready to help you find the perfect match for your ski holiday.
