Pierre & Vacances Premium Residence Les Fermes de Méribel, Méribel, Savoie, French Alps

Pierre & Vacances Premium Residence Les Fermes de Méribel, in the popular family ski resort of the same name, is a hidden gem. Set slightly outside the resort in a wooded area, these authentic log-cabin style apartments carry an enormous charm. Life is a little quieter here, so will suit families who are looking for the pace to slow down a bit but who still want to be able to reach civilisation in the guise of shops and restaurants on foot when they want to. 

This is all about spending time together in the slow lane; guests have free access to the indoor pool and saunas and the pampering can continue with shopping and continental breakfast deliveries on the doorstep. There are rustic log fires to cosy up in front of, an inviting children’s play area and games room, a gorgeous foyer operating a loan service for books and games and a gym should you feel inspired. There’s also a restaurant and bakery (order your goodies the day before) at reception. 

The recently refurbished accommodation is traditional with carved wooden panelling and furniture, cosy furnishings and comfy sofas with options sleeping up to 9 people.
