Guarantee a white Christmas in a stunning eco-chalet with One Off Places

La Source is an exclusive, luxury self-catered or catered farmhouse just outside Samoens village in the French Alps. This exclusive and unique retreat sleeps 10 + 4 children in 5 bedrooms and has 4 bathrooms alongside a wealth of features inside and out with old beams exposed and offset against white walls. It is a truly unique venue; an eco-conversion of a 19th Century Alpine farm. Visitors will be bathing in mountain source water heated by wood pellets from the local timber yard. There is a traditional Cedar wood-fired hot tub on the 60m2 Larch deck, and there is a big garden with its own stream, a mill ruin and some spectacular South facing views.

And incredibly, they still have availability for this Christmas (up to 28th December) – and there is currently an amazing deal of £300 off the weekly price (making it £2600 for the whole property for the week - £260 a head based on 10 people) – plus they are offering an 8th night for free!

The owners make sure a stay in their property is a truly unique and exciting experience. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for all mountain sports makes them invaluable guides for the area, while there are also opportunities for yoga, tai chi and shiatsu for those that may not want to hit the slopes every day. The property itself features:

· 130m2 open plan living area with huge sliding doors that open to South-facing views of the Giffre Valley
· FSC oak floors and slate bathrooms with Duravit and Hansgrohe fittings
· Rustic-chic furniture with a mix of antiques and 20th Century designer classics alongside contemporary art on the walls
· all mod cons - a laundry room / broadband points in every room / under floor heating / Italian kitchen with breakfast island
· A cosy quirky TV and music den and library with optional cable TV, a DVD player and an I-Pod docking station
