Location, location, location? Well this modern duplex has it in spades. Whether you want ski hire, the Super Morzine lift for access to Avoriaz and the extensive Portes du Soleil area, some excellent local produce, or a traditional alpine meal accompanied by some outstanding wine, the best of Morzine is within a five minute walk of Apartment Télébenne 2.
But we wouldn’t blame you if, once ensconced in this elegant hideaway, you never wanted to leave it. After all, it’s been designed with comfort in mind. The large L-shaped sofa is perfectly positioned for views of the mountains, and, if the weather is good, you can even take your après ski G&T onto the wraparound balcony and relax at the al fresco dining table.
Back inside, a small but very well-equipped kitchen has everything you need, whether you’re boiling pasta for the kids on the gas hob, or have a coq au vin cooking in the oven. And once you’ve polished it all off at the generously-proportioned dining table, to a soundtrack of your favourite music, there’s no reason to rush off to do the washing up, thanks to the integrated dishwasher. So why not have another sliver of that terribly more-ish cheese and another glass of wine? Or, if you’re being sensible, a cup of coffee — the Nespresso machine will make it, so it’s really no bother.
If you’re not up for a night on the tiles, curl up on that sofa in front of the HD TV and settle in for a Netflix movie night. And don’t worry about arguments with the kids over screen time: the mezzanine has a separate chill-out games area with its own TV and an Xbox One, so everyone will be happy.
The comfortable bedrooms have ample storage — although there’s a washing machine and tumble dryer if you prefer to pack light — and can be configured as king-sized beds or twins, according to what suits your group best. The two downstairs have en suite facilities, while the bedroom upstairs has exclusive use of the adjacent bathroom.
Finally there’s no need to worry about your kit. As well as private underground parking, in the basement you’ll find secure storage for skis, a drying room for your boots and, in summer, secure bike storage and cleaning facilities.
If you’ve fallen in love with Apartment Télébenne 2 — and who would blame you? — but it’s not available the week you wanted, do take a look at Apartments Télébenne 1 or Télébenne 3 just next door which boasts the same elegant style and very similar amenities and accommodation. And, if you want to make it a bigger trip with even more friends and family, it’s worth knowing that between them, the four Télébenne apartments, which are all in the same building, can sleep a total of 30 people in all.
