About this property

Luxury five * restored Swiss chalet, air conditioned, hidden above Lago Maggoire

The last four years have been lovingly spent restoring this wonderful chalet to its former glory. What was once a shabby three-bedroom chalet with no bathroom or kitchen was stripped back to the bare walls, fully insulated and then tastefully rebuilt to the splendour you see today, complete with all modern amenities.
Chalet floor now offers open plan space flowing from the antique wood panelled lounge with comfortable leather sofas and tub chairs, the separate dining area with (Amanda Holden's) large recycled teak dining table and a fully equipped, extravagant and fully equipped kitchen to please any chef becomes ability.
The restored panelled staircase takes you to two very comfortable, large double bedrooms with super king size beds, both with AIR CONDITIONING, ensuite bathrooms and both with balconies. Outdoor seating is available on all three sides and there is a large charcoal grill and a table and chairs for alfresco dining or simply enjoying a platter of freshly cut charcuterie and a delicious bottle from the well-stocked supermarket down the hill enjoy. The property is tastefully decorated throughout and super comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Jill

Host profile image
My husband and I have been hosting guests at our farm in Kent UK for over 15 years here in Kent UK. When we found Chalet Boden five years ago, a historic needing total restoration we rolled up our sleeves and started there and then. Covid got in the way and slowed us down but we finally got her totally restored from foundations to new roof and everything in between ready for letting last April (23). With a few more luxuries added such as Air Conditioning in both luxury bedrooms she is ready for 2024!

Why they chose this property

Chalet Boden sits in an area of Outstanding natural beauty, as we restored her the history unfolded, to the local people she stands as a monument of the resistance. Hidden up in the wooded mountains above Lago Maggoire, with beautiful lake swimming in the summer, gorgeous mountain walks all about, skiing in the winter, fabulous food and delightful undiscovered (to us) wines. A project irresistible

What makes this property unique

A fully restored traditional luxury wooden chalet, hidden in chestnut wooded mountains. Now with all modern amenities and access to the fabulous Italian lakes in 20 minutes, Up, down or crossway mountain walking from the door, cafes and restaurants abound, homemade pasta (as close as bottom of garden) famous and secret wines and cheeses all over, just taste the glorious water flowing from our kitchen tap, people come from all over just to bottle the very same from the church fountain you can see from our balcony.
Chalet Boden is too nice to keep to ourselves so we are sharing her with you!
