Apartment Beneteau | 4-Bedroom Chalet with Spa in Les Belleville

A four-bedroom chalet apartment in Les Belleville that sleeps eight guests sits 150 metres from the village chairlift, offering direct access to the three interconnected ski domains of Les Menuires, Courchevel, and Val Thorens. Apartment Beneteau combines traditional Alpine architecture with contemporary Scandinavian design, creating a space where mountain heritage meets modern comfort. This is the kind of base where families and larger groups trade cramped hotel rooms for genuine living space.

Inside Apartment Beneteau

Apartment Beneteau sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, distributed across a thoughtfully planned layout that gives everyone their own retreat. The open-plan living area connects the lounge, kitchen, and dining space beneath a cathedral-height ceiling, with multiple windows flooding the interior with daylight and mountain views. A working wood fireplace dominates the living zone—the kind that makes guests genuinely want to gather rather than scatter to separate rooms.

The four bedrooms come in two configurations: two rooms feature a double bed with en-suite bathroom access, while the other two offer twin single beds. Each bedroom includes its own mezzanine area, functioning as a reading nook or overflow sleeping space for children. This vertical layout is typical of Alpine architecture and maximises usable floor area without sprawling horizontally across the mountainside.

Beyond the bedrooms, you’ll find a dedicated office with mezzanine—useful for guests who can’t fully disconnect from work, though the panoramic views make focusing surprisingly difficult. A separate laundry room, cloakroom, and independent shower bathroom ensure the main en-suites don’t become bottlenecks during busy mornings. The ski room keeps equipment organised and accessible, while the garage and two outdoor parking spaces handle vehicle storage securely.

The kitchen comes equipped with induction hobs, a full-sized fridge, and a fondue appliance—a nod to the region’s gastronomic traditions. You’ll find an electric juice squeezer, ironing board, and SONOS speaker system. For families travelling with infants, a baby cot and high chair are available on request, removing the stress of arranging specialist equipment before arrival.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

A generous sheltered terrace extends from the living area, positioned to capture southern views across the valley. This is where morning coffee tastes better and evening aperitifs linger longer. The covered design means you can use the space during shoulder seasons when unshielded terraces become uncomfortable. A balcony provides an additional vantage point for mountain-gazing or simply breathing Alpine air between activities.

The exposed wooden beams, stone details, and the proportions of the terrace communicate the quality of construction—this isn’t a property where you’ll spot cost-cutting corners or finished materials that looked appealing in a brochure but feel cheap in person.

Location: Les Belleville and the Surrounding Area

Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, commonly called Les Belleville, occupies a distinctive position within the Savoie region of the French Alps. The village splits into two distinct zones: the historic centre with its cobblestone streets, wooden chalets, and central church, and the quieter residential areas like Proche Centre where Apartment Beneteau is situated. This placement gives you proximity to village amenities without noise from the bustling core.

The chairlift 150 metres away connects directly to Les Menuires, the largest of the three linked ski areas. From there, you access 600 kilometres of interconnected slopes across Courchevel (12km by road), Méribel (18km), and Val Thorens (24km)—the world’s most extensive lift-linked ski terrain. In summer, these same slopes transform into hiking trails and mountain-biking routes. The Doron river, which flows through the valley below, offers a different kind of Alpine recreation: picnicking by flowing water with views up toward the peaks.

The village itself contains a dozen restaurants ranging from casual mountain bistros serving Savoyard fondue and raclette to more refined establishments. Local shops sell cheese from nearby producers, cured meats from regional suppliers, and fresh produce from the weekly market. The atmosphere in winter genuinely does resemble an extended Christmas celebration—decorations, the sound of ski boots on cobblestones, mulled wine, and an underlying sense of festive anticipation.

Grenoble, the nearest major city, sits 80km away (approximately 90 minutes by car) and provides access to broader Alp culture, museums, and urban amenities. Geneva airport, 180km north, connects to international flights and takes roughly two and a half hours to reach by road.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Families with children find genuine advantages here. The four bedrooms prevent the compressed feeling of shared hotel suites; kids can settle into their own spaces while parents maintain oversight from common areas. The mezzanines entertain older children with cosy reading spots. High chairs and cots (on request) support families with toddlers. The proximity to chairlifts makes ski school logistics straightforward—you’re not managing a 20-minute commute before lessons start.

Groups of eight adults—whether three couples plus friends or an extended family spanning three generations—benefit from shared living space that doesn’t demand constant interaction. The office and gaming mezzanine give people options for solitude. The dining table seats everyone simultaneously, fostering group meals without restaurant queues.

Couples seeking a dual-purpose retreat (part relaxation, part skiing) appreciate the fireplace, terrace, and village location, which allows non-skiing partners to explore markets and restaurants while skiers tackle the slopes. The SONOS system and TV provide evening entertainment when weather confines you indoors.
