Les Fermes de Marie

163 Chemin de la Riante Colline, 74120 Megève, France.

OVERVIEW

Les Fermes de Marie

In 1989, Les Fermes de Marie began paving the way for a new genre of hotel management, and a style that has since then become a standard throughout the world.

With its strong link to traditional housing, this completely new concept offers travellers the chance to enjoy a particular mountain lifestyle, all year round, and to spend a holiday in a high quality, comfortable, family-oriented setting.

The hotel is laid out as a small hamlet of high mountain pasture farms several centuries old, lying in a 4-acre park in the heart of Megève.

The nine interlinked chalets form a haven.

Each of the farms was dismantled, and every piece of wood was numbered, and then reassembled on concrete frames in line with the heritage and the traditions of the area. In this timeless retreat away from it all, the charm of the decoration is only equaled by the soul of every piece of furniture and the patina of every object.

The comfort of the 70 highly individual rooms and suites is based on traditional simplicity and subtle refinement, but incorporates modern life as well. The warmth of the old wood is matched by that of an attentive and ever-personal staff.

The impeccable quality and range of services on offer mark the personality of a hotel like no other. Here the notion of service takes on its full meaning. Elegant and comfortable, the bar is extremely cosy, with its deep armchairs and huge sofas covered in leather and Bonneval fabric.

Warm materials and muted grey and tobacco shades all blend admirably with the atmosphere and colours that give the place its character. Combining harmony and calm, this space offers a special menu for those who work up a little appetite in the afternoon. It guarantees all the pleasures of a restaurant, even between meals.

In this five-star luxury hotel in Megève, authenticity meets with the exceptional, offering elegance, calm and distinction. Les Fermes de Marie is made up of authentic alpine farmhouses, rescued from ruin high up in the hills of the French Alps.

These buildings, were taken apart beam by beam, numbered and put back together piece by piece in a 3 acre park in the heart of Megève. Enjoy a getaway in a place full of history where every stone, every beam, every object tells a story…

The Chef’s Table

At the turn of a flight of stairs, in the heart of this luxury family pension, one discovers, like a well-kept secret, a few privileged tables overlooking the large room. An exceptional address orchestrated by Nicolas Sintes, chef of Les Fermes de Marie, who has created a 7-course menu based on the market and his inspirations.

A true experience for the eyes and the palate. In the mouth, finely crafted combinations of flavors and a sublimated terroir: mountain caviar with a light taste of capers, cauliflower and smoked eel jelly, truffle polenta ravioli with Taleggio and Italian cold cuts from the cellar, a platter of extraordinary cheeses, sorbet with aromatic forest herbs and “summer harvest” syrup. A delicious gastronomic stroll in the open air.

La Salle à Manger

La Salle à Manger, in turn, spotlights the truffle. Its powerful, unforgettable perfume gives a special magic to our Seine Bay Scallop baked with a fine truffle purée, Brittany turbot studded with truffles, artichokes and anchovies, or suckling calf sweetbreads with shallots reduced in yellow wine dusted with poppy seed… and as a dessert, who can resist the chilled polenta with truffles served with a quince compote?

The “Vitality programmes” play an important role both in this well-being and in revitalisation: sports activities with a coach, delicious and balanced cuisine, Pure Altitude Spa treatments. In summer, gardens and vegetable plots caress the terraces illuminated of lights and shadows.

To sublimate the unique experiences feelings inhere in Les Fermes de Marie, La Salle à manger, which overlooks the Traditionnal restaurant, is simply gorgeous. Intimate, the smoker room, away from smells and eyes, opens on club chairs, old spirits.

Finally, stopping in one of the rooms or suites, is like plucking the pages of a picture book, awaking the senses, so that the concept of hotel is not just sleeping in anonymity.

Furniture, antiqued tastefully, sign the identity of places that are recognisable but not alike any others.

It is rare to find places where the art of living is cultivated with passion, where granting one’s wishes is no longer a pious vow, where every moment impacts memory of an indelible Alpine lyricism.
