Ideal for families or groups of friends, this apartment is warm and welcoming. It’s just five minutes from Arties, where you’ll find plenty of top-notch restaurants, and is also a great base for hiking in the Aran Valley. Skiers will love being close to Baqueira-Beret, and will also appreciate the ski locker. We love the private garden space, where you can admire beautiful mountain views. To really push the boat out, ask your host to book a private chef for a celebratory dinner. 

Changes of Seasons

Made almost entirely of stone and wood, this natural cabin is tucked away in Arties, only a short drive from three different ski lifts. It's homely and cosy, especially with the working fireplace, but the living space might feel a little cramped at capacity. Luckily, a peaceful walk leads right into town, where you can stretch your legs. The twin rooms are ideal for kids who can more easily manoeuvre around the sloped ceilings, and there is a ski locker available for storing your gear after a day on the snow.

This home in Salardú is the ideal base for large families or groups of friends eager to spend time in the great outdoors. A quick drive will whisk you to Baqueira station, where experienced skiers and newbies can enjoy the slopes. In the summer months, this area is popular with hikers, who don their boots to explore the rugged peaks of the Pyrenees. After a day in the fresh air, return home and curl up on the sofa to read or watch a movie. Light the fire for extra cosiness, and enjoy home-cooked meals from the slick kitchen. Children will love the garden for playing or building snowmen, and adults can sip a glass of wine outside while enjoying the breeze. When it’s bedtime, tuck the kids into their bunk beds before getting comfy in the master bedroom, complete with views of the mountains.

Nice to haves

Located in Arties, an epicentre of the Naut Aran activity and aprés-ski. We love the pale tones throughout and the wood elements that add to the homely feel, tempting you to cosy up around the fireplace in the wintertime, but ultimately, we imagine you'll spend a lot of time relaxing on the balcony with your cup of coffee and croissant for a lovely start to the day, admiring the views over the church of Santa Mara and Montarto in the background.

This picturesque alpine town is known for its broad and high-quality cuisine. In the winter, take a fifteen-minute drive to the Baqueira-Beret ski resort for a day of gliding down the snowy slopes, and in the summer, grab a bike and pedal through the lush hills and along the rivers. After all that activity, take a break for a bite to re-energize yourself before returning for another short stroll.

To sit and savour a morning cup of coffee on the terrace of this Aranese-style home is to indulge in one of life’s true luxuries: blissful silence.

Located in the little village of Arties, this ski chalet-inspired home is a charming base from which to explore the outstanding natural beauty of the Aigüestortes National Park. Inside, you'll enjoy the velvety soft furnishings, rainfall showers and marble top bathrooms. After a day of hiking or skiing, wander down to the thermal pools just over five minutes away, before settling down for a film around the open stone fireplace.

Nestled high in the Pyrenees, Mountainside Sanctuary promises relaxation, fresh air and breathtaking vistas. With its stone façade, wooden trims and lush creepers, the home blends seamlessly into the quaint village streets of Garós. Inside, it continues its love letter to timber, from wood-panelled bathrooms to beautifully buffed floors and exposed ceiling beams. While the atmosphere is steeped in rustic charm, you’ll find a host of modern amenities for a comfortable stay and a fireplace that beckons you to curl up with a book and glass of Rioja. Just a short drive from your doorstep lies Baqueira-Beret, one of Spain’s premier ski resorts where you can while away your days on the slopes. In the evenings, enjoy dinner in the cosy kitchen or head to a local eatery to tuck into delicious Aranese cuisine.

Set in Arties, a picturesque town in the Pyrenees, this charming wood, slate and stone house is the perfect mountain retreat. The interiors are cosy and chic – wooden beamed ceilings, cream sofas, and an original stone fireplace give the living space that quintessential chalet feel, while the snug bedrooms upstairs have skylights that frame the view of the mountains beyond. Draw the blinds in the morning to let that crisp mountain light in before heading downstairs for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat at the breakfast bar. 

Arties is one of the most beautiful villages in the Aran Valley. There are several family run restaurants and bars within easy walking distance of the house. In the summertime there’s plenty of fun to be had in the surrounding area. Follow one of the hiking trails taking you through breathtaking mountain scenery, either on foot, by mountain bike, or on horseback. For a spot of culture, the magnificent eleventh century Santa Maria Church is a six-minute walk from the house.

In the winter months, the Baqueira/Beret ski resort is seven kilometres away. It’s widely acknowledged to be Spain’s best ski resort, with 167km of pistes. After hitting the slopes, head to one of the lively apres-ski spots in the area, or come home to Arties for tapas and wine, before taking a relaxing bubble bath and curling up by the fire. 

Valley Slate

Lift Access

This traditional Aranese building is big enough to host extended families or big groups of friends eager to explore the Pyrenees mountain range. It’s the perfect base for active holidays all year round – in the winter, skiers and snowboarders take to the pistes of Baqueira Beret ski resort. In the summer months, there are plenty of hiking opportunities. Walking through Vall de Boí will take you past ancient churches and idyllic scenery. Back at home, there are utensils for making fondue and raclette, and plenty of space to lounge and relax. Or, if you’d like to head out into the small city of Vielha, you’ll find restaurants and bars serving hearty local food around the Garona River. There are also plenty of shops, where you can pick up outdoor kit or handcrafted souvenirs – this area is famous for its wool.

Luxury Bedding

Nestled in Spain's Naut Aran mountains, this bucolic abode is the perfect pad for keen hikers and those seeking stolen moments in the countryside. Expect miles of rich landscape in every direction and a quaint village on your doorstep. Inside the apartment, exposed stone walls and raw-edged wooden furniture create a suitably rustic feel. Seeking a down-to-earth getaway? Your search is over.

In between walks and trips to the local taberna, recline on the L-shaped sofa and admire your homely surroundings. Original details juxtapose with modern decor – we particularly love the statement light fixtures. With plush seating and soft furnishings aplenty, this place is the epitome of cosy. It'll be worth your while to hire a car so you can explore the surrounding area. In just half an hour, you'll reach the French border. Perhaps a day trip to Toulouse is on the cards?

Salardú Solace

Located right near where the border separates Spain from France, this rough-stone home stands tall in all its rustic charm – and if you think the facade is attractive, just wait until you take a look inside. Continuing on with the mix of natural stone and timber, this modernised living space exemplifies comfort with a wood-burning stove, soft lighting, and a sofa you can sink into. Curl up here after you’ve kindled a fire and let time be the last thing on your mind as you finally get to the book of poetry you’ve been meaning to read for the longest time. Get lost in the pages until lunch where you can take to the compact kitchenette to prepare light bites, or head out to one of the local eateries if you’re not in the mood to cook. 

On the upper floor you’ll find generous bedrooms and a bathroom, but it’s the room that opens out on the balcony that you’ll want to call your own for the duration of your stay. It not only has ample space and light, but we bet you can already see yourself standing on the balcony with a cup of coffee at sunrise. It’s also, coincidentally, the perfect location for a bit of last minute stargazing before turning in for the night. 

The area, as you’ll be able to determine from the view, is inescapably beautiful and you can admire some of the natural wonders by hiking the trails in the area. Baqueira Beret, the nearest ski lift, is just over 18 miles away and Luchon Golf Course is just under 6 miles. 

Beam & Brick

If you're looking for a cosy getaway in the mountains, this beautifully inviting home could be just the place. There's something so comforting about this place. Maybe it's the soft throws, the plump sofa, the traditional fireplace, or the charming artwork, but we think it's one of those homes where you instantly feel at ease. And with warm-toned wood panels, strong wooden beams, and exposed brick, it embodies the natural beauty of its surroundings. 

You're in the quaint village of Betren, a short drive to the prestigious Baqueira-Beret ski resort. Highly regarded as one of the best resorts in the Pyrenees, the vast mountain range will take your breath away. It's also known for its après ski scene, but your wonderful host can recommend all the best spots in town. They have a wealth of knowledge of the area and are happy to give you tips on how to make the most of your time in the Pyrenees. 

After a day of exploring or out on the slopes, you'll love stepping into your homely place. You could take time to relax on the plush sofa before heading out for dinner, or whip up something in your well-equipped kitchen to be enjoyed around the dining table, before moving onto the sofa to watch a film with a nice glass of wine.

From the wooden beamed ceilings to the charming facade of the stone cladded fireplace, whether you’re here on a skiing trip or you’re simply taking a breather from the bustling city streets, one thing’s for certain – this home will win you over in a heartbeat. 

Spectacular vistas over Salardu and the Baqueira Beret ski slopes serve a treat for the eyes from the moment you wake up in the morning until the second you go to sleep. And thanks to the home’s large windows, there are plenty of viewpoints to observe those incredible urban landscapes. Begin each day with a steaming hot Americano from the coffee machine and perch yourself on the chaise end of the comfy corner sofa to gaze at the rugged mountain scape in style.

The soft, soothing nature of this place exists just as much on the inside as it does on the out. We particularly love the colour scheme – it’s calm but cosy – and the natural wooden touches speckled from here to there make things all the more inviting. There’s also an open brickwork wall in the bathroom, large light fixtures and brightening mirrors dotted from room to room. So, if you fancy yourself as an interior design aficionado, you’re sure to appreciate what the homeowner has done with the place. 

Craving a moment’s me time? Indulge in some well–deserved rest and relaxation as you sink into the bubbly depths of the free–standing bath tub. The perfect place to enjoy a flute of fizz, head here as dusk settles and let the evening while away as you embrace your private spa–like setting.

Ski-in and Ski-out

Right at the base of the Baqueira ski slopes, this 3-bedroom apartment is mere steps from the ski lift that will take you to the heart of the action. Ideal for a group of friends or large family, the open-plan living space lends itself to sociable apres-ski afternoons watching Spanish television or huddled around the dining table enjoying the warmth of the fireplace. The kitchen has everything you need to create warming meals to fuel your next mountain adventure. Or, head out to the handful of restaurants and bars in town. Bear in mind that the triple bedroom may be a little cramped for adults, but perfect for kids. Your stay also includes one parking space and a heated ski equipment room.

The Silver Fox

With funky bohemian cushions, wool throws and a minimalist breakfast bar, this apartment offers a fresh, modern alternative to old-fashioned chalet living. The location is unbeatable – you can access the ski lift for the Baqueira slopes without even leaving the building, via a lift and heated ski equipment room available for your use.

Gather in the light, bright dining area to plan the morning’s activities; the living room with fireplace is the perfect spot to unwind and warm up again after a day on the slopes. A parking space is included in the price of booking, so you can get out and explore the mountain villages and hiking trails of the Pyrenees at your leisure.

Meringue Peaks

The mountains beckon at this luxury pad in Baqueira, one of the top ski resorts in the Spanish Pyrenees. With the Esquiros chairlift located just steps from the property, you can head straight out after breakfast to explore 160km of perfect, powdery slopes. After a long day of snow-sports, retreat to your alpine-chic haven, which comes complete with soaring wood-beamed ceilings and a large kitchen with dining room. You’ll love gazing out at the peaks of the Pyrenees, framed by a wall of windows in the lounge. The long, plump sofa is the perfect place to relax with family and a cup of steaming cocoa before you ease any aching muscles in a hot bath.

Around four hours inland from the sun-soaked shores of Barcelona, the Pyrenees town of Baqueira offers a completely different lifestyle. Swapping beaches for slopes, this ski resort is set among the region's rugged peaks and dramatic valleys. And just a few hundred metres away from the ski lifts of Baqueira-Beret itself, this home offers a cosy place to rest your feet after a long day on the snow.

Leave all your gear in the private ski storage facility and head up to your cosy apartment. With rich wooden ceilings alongside soft fabrics and a woolly rug, the living space has a ‘hygge’ Scandi feel. On this theme, minimalist furnishings and an understated decor continue as you explore the living space. This allows for the real star of the show to stand out – the striking corner window.

Glass panels and dark frames create a spectacular scene for dining, with views out to thick forests and hills beyond. It's even better when the optional private chef is serving your meal. Pour yourself a final glass of Catalonian red after dinner to take out to the balcony. Perching at the wooden bannister in the fresh mountain air, it’s easy to let your mind drift away.

Myths of the Mountain

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

This lovely apartment is an excellent base for skiers and hikers looking for a real home from home. It can be found at the foot of the slopes of the Baqueira-Beret ski resort, in an excellent area for outdoor activities. 

The apartment is cosy and comfortable, with everything you’ll need for a break. After a day spent on the slopes, it’s wonderful to return to a home as welcoming as this. Curl up around the fireplace with a mug of cocoa, or sip a glass of red wine on the balcony while enjoying the mountain views. In the evening, whip up a comforting dish to tuck into at the dining table, and revel in the warmth of this utterly delightful home. 

The cable car is within easy reach, so it’s easy as can be to breathe in the mountain air. The skiing is fantastic but in summer there’s still plenty to keep you entertained. Lace up your hiking boots and explore the trails of the Arán Valley – this is such a beautiful part of the world.  


Mountain Snow

This large, 4-bedroom apartment sits in an enviable location right next to the Baqueira ski lift. You can practically roll out of bed and onto the slopes (though we suggest wrapping up first). Two bedrooms come with bunk beds – possibly a little cramped for adults but children will love the sleepover experience. The large, open-plan living and dining area allows your group to spread out. White clapboard-style walls and Scandi-chic light wood touches keep and calm vibe after a day tearing up the slopes. Huddle by the fireplace, watch winter sports on the TV or gather around the dining table with a hot mug of tea. Two parking spaces and a heated ski equipment room are included in the price of booking.

By the Gondola

Espresso Machine

With plenty of old world charm on offer, this home in Arties comes surrounded by restaurants, bars, and natural beauty. Get a taste of the local culture not just by sampling the menus, but also visiting some of the surrounding sights, like the romanesque Santa María Parish Church that’s under a ten-minute walk away. Go in search of the thermal springs, with the Montarto peak always looming in the distance, whenever you’re not on the slopes. The Baqueira Beret ski lift is minutes away and with ski storage, it’s easy and clean to store all the gear for the day once you’ve returned to the warmth and comfort of this home

Make use of the homely kitchen to put together light, warm meals that you can enjoy at the little dining nook. When you’re not eating, you might clear the table for a game or two of Scrabble or to work on a puzzle you’ve had stored back home for months. Run a luxurious bubble bath and soak in the tub with a good book until you’ve worked out all the tension in your muscles. Curl up on the sofa to watch your favourite movie and allow the day’s activities to finally catch up to you as you doze off. When you inevitably make it to bed, let sleep rejuvenate you so you’re able to do it all again the next – a coffee out on the bench first thing in the morning won’t hurt either.  

Snowflakes on Stone

With its awe-inspiring mountain peaks, lush forests and serene lakes, the Spanish Pyrenees makes the perfect setting for an adventurous retreat. And nestled at the feet of the Baqueira-Beret ski resort, this charming apartment invites you to experience it all in style.

From the rustic simplicity of the decor to the cosy charm of the bedrooms, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of warmth and comfort – making it the ideal place for a rejuvenating reset. You’ll love spending cosy evenings by the fire and then retreating to the tranquil bedrooms. 

Days can be spent trekking through the valley, enjoying the world-class skiing and simply savouring the majestic mountain views from a local restaurant or bar. 

The Minimalist 

With timber-clad walls, sloping wooden ceilings and an overstuffed tartan armchair, this top-floor apartment really is as cosy as it looks. It's got chalet charm in spades and plenty of space to spread out, too – not to mention idyllic views of the snow-capped mountains from the skylight-style windows.

Watch the skiers fly down the piste as you rustle up something tasty in the kitchen – we suggest Òlha Aranesa, a Val d'Aran staple that's a warming antidote to a day on the slopes. After dinner, play a few board games around the table – older guests can enjoy a glass of Cava while they join in – before soaking your worries away (and relaxing your sore muscles) in the bathtub. 

Best of all is the fantastic location – you're just a two-minute walk from the gondola lift, which can whisk you away to the runs on the Baqueira-Beret ski resort. Also on your doorstep are swanky wine bars, local restaurants and fantastic hiking trails if you're visiting during the warmer months. Whether you plan on trekking through the Pyrenees, hitting the slopes or exploring the postcard-worthy scenery in the Val d'Aran, this is a perfect pad for a Spanish getaway. 

Timber Slopes

Nestled amidst the majestic alpine scenery of the Arán Valley, the views from this home are nothing short of spectacular. It sits in the picturesque town of Salardú, boasting easy access to ample hiking trails through the Catalonian Pyrenees and the vast pistes of the Baqueira-Beret alpine ski resort, the latter being just ten minutes away by car. Delightfully peaceful, its spacious interior provides an idyllic base for families and large groups.

We love this home's chalet-chic design aesthetic. The interior boasts lofty ceilings and heaps of natural light streaming through its large windows, creating a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation. There are all the bells and whistles here for a want-for-nothing stay, including a fully-equipped kitchen and a cosy lounge. After restful slumbers, spend mornings roosted at the breakfast bar, tucking into pastries before a day in the great outdoors, or sip your coffee on the patio and admire breathtaking views of the valley. After a day of adventure, kick back on the plush sofas, wine glass in hand, to warm up beside the glow of the fireplace.

Cascading Serenity

Rain Shower

Whisk yourself away to a winter wonderland with this cosy apartment, based in beautiful Baqueira at the foot of the Spanish Pyrenees.

Step through the door, and there’s an undeniable homely feel that envelopes you straight away. Perhaps it’s the plump scatter cushions and the cosy throws, just begging you to sink down onto the sofa, wrap yourself up and gaze out at the snowy mountain view. The whole interior just feels effortlessly stylish. We particularly love the stencilled birds wrapped around the wall from the patio door in the bedroom – it’s a whole new way to bring the outdoors in and remind you that here, you’re surrounded by the beauty of nature. 

The views don’t really need any introduction – who wouldn’t want to wake up, grab a coffee and throw open the doors to breathe in the fresh mountain air and take in the surroundings? You’ll struggle to find a better way to start your day.

It’s just a short ski from your apartment across to the cable car which will carry you up the mountain for a day on the slopes. When it’s time to unwind, wander into the village and replenish the calories you’ve burned with some tasty tapas, before heading back to your homely home and wrapping yourself up in those snuggly throws.

The kitchen is fully equipped. Outside, there is direct access to the epic ski runs on offer via a lift. There's even a heated locker for ski equipment storage, conveniently located by the lift opening. With free parking thrown in too, we love this home as much for its multitude of conveniences, as we do for its design and home comforts.

Baqueira Hideaway

The peerless location of this two-bed apartment means that you can get onto the Baqueira gondola – via a lift – without even leaving the building. Ideal for a group of five, the open-plan living space lends itself to apres-ski family movies or thawing out by the fireplace. The kitchen has everything you need to create a simple pot of mulled wine or more complex winter warmers. Though the area is known a somewhat of a foodie hub, so you may want to get out and sample the Pyrenees dishes at the nearby restaurants. Bear in mind that the triple bedroom may be too cramped for adults but perfect for kids. Your stay includes one parking space and a heated ski equipment room, as well as a cot and highchair for little ones.

Lovingly restored between 1998 and 2008, this beautiful, riverbank castle dates all the way back to the 1520s – not that you’d be able to tell when setting foot inside. Though you can definitely feel the weight of its storied past – and also see it in the exposed beams, chandeliers, and statement fireplaces – this home also feels fresh and opulent instead of stuffy. 

Find yourself romanticising life as you stroll around the sprawling green garden, making your way slowly towards the riverbank where you can gaze out over the water. Sit by the fire with a book of poetry, retreat to the library for quiet contemplation, take tea in the drawing room, and peruse the wine selection in the cellar. 

Enjoy chef-prepared meals in the dining room – the original guard's room where the castle’s personnel came to enjoy the heat from the fireplace with a cooked meal – or dine alfresco if you’d prefer to savour every moment of fresh air. Gather around the swimming pool for drinks at sundown and take a midnight dip in the pool. 

Stay out long after to enjoy the clear night sky before retreating to any of the bathrooms where you can unwind in the bubble bath with a glass of wine. Retire to one of the breathtaking suites for a peaceful night’s sleep before waking up to explore all this home, and the region has to offer.

Once Upon a Chateau

Let the adventures begin at this spacious apartment in the popular Baqueira Beret ski resort. Conveniently located in front of the cable car, you’ll be carving up the slopes in no time.

Out of ski season, swap your snowboard for a mountain bike (there are 900 km of routes to explore), or pull on your hiking boots and make the most of the two lifts open in the summer. You can also discover the hidden depths of Aran Valley with a guided tour in July and August — or you can leaf through the countless free guides about the area.

Whether you're pedalling or on foot, make the trek from Baqueira to Beret across the beautiful Pla de Beret — this laid-back route filled with spectacular landscapes is sure to impress. The home is also just 5 km from picturesque Arties, where art lovers will want to admire the Romanesque Church of Santa María surrounded by gorgeous scenery. 

Après-ski, fuel up at one of the on-site restaurants — gorge on a generous sirloin paired with a glass of wine from the cellar, or the chicken croquettes come recommended. If you fancy putting your feet up, cook an easy, wholesome meal in the open-plan kitchen at the apartment. 

With the ski lift on your doorstep, this is the perfect apartment to make the most of all your outdoor adventures in total comfort.

Heart & Ski

Anyone who dreams of rolling out of bed, putting on their skis and hitting the slopes in a matter of minutes will be delighted by this cosy mountain home. Situated at the foot of the ski runs at the 1500m elevation mark in Baquiera, it’s right by the gondola exit – fresh mountain air has never felt so close, or skiing so effortless. Slopes aside, the views are breathtaking; when the snow is good, it truly feels like a winter wonderland. The home itself is rustic and modern in style and perfect for a small family – bunkbeds in the second bedroom might pose problems for groups of adults. And the heated ski equipment room included in the price adds that extra sprinkle of magic comfort.

Casa de Nieve

At the foot of the Bequeira-Beret slopes, this cosy apartment is ideal for snow lovers. It's on the small side, but there are two bathrooms and plenty of room for a small family or friend group. Both bedrooms have access to a small balcony – while there isn't room to sit outside, you're able to enjoy the fresh air. You'll have access to a ski locker for storing equipment, and the cable car is right by the car park, meaning you don't have to walk far when you're planning on hitting the slopes.

Peacock's Feather

Bright and toasty, this apartment in the Pyrenees is modern and mountain-chic. Wooden beamed ceilings, exposed brick, and windows surrounding the living space give it a true Pyrenean feel. Gather around the fire or step out to the balcony and let the snow fall around you. With 167 km of pistes, there is something for every type of skier, snowboarder, or snowshoer at Baqueira resort. On your way back home, be sure to stop in town for some local tapas. Looking upon those mountains, you'll understand why this area was once so popular among the Spanish royal family.

Pyrenean

Located in the Aran Valley, this home is a great getaway, particularly for those winter breaks. Begin your mornings here with a crisp breath of fresh air and stunning views from the Juliet balcony as you drink a cup of coffee. Then, grab your skiing equipment from the locker and hit the slopes for a snowy adventure.

While, in the summer months, your little ones can let off steam in the large shared gardens that surround the home. Plus, there is even a shopping mall a few metres away for leisure and entertainment for the whole family.

In the evening, after a busy day of skiing or exploring the beautiful surrounding of Baqueira, we would love to curl up in front of the fire for cosy nights together. 

Polar Bear Prints

Escape to the mountains for an action-packed family or group getaway in the Spanish Pyrenees. Nestled in peaceful village of Gessa, this is a traditional stone property complete with wooden shutters that open to views of pine-covered peaks. Spend your days whizzing down the slopes at nearby Baqueira-Beret, Spain’s swankiest ski resort, then enjoy long evenings cosied up in front of the fireplace. We love the open-plan kitchen and dining space in this wood-beamed lodge, which is perfect for devouring family dinners. Need some ski lessons? Ask your host about booking private tuition, as well as canyoning, cooking classes and Pyrenees hiking trips. 

Alpine Chocolate Box

This chic three-bedroom apartment is the perfect base for a quality ski holiday, yet doesn't compromise on design. Outside, you'll find direct access the Baqueira ski resort via a lift; there's even a heated locker for ski equipment storage by the lift opening. The large, open-plan living space sports creamy tones with a sleek breakfast bar, L-shaped sofa and fireplace for gathering and swapping tales. There's free parking thrown in, too, and a cot for those who need it.

Valley Retreat

Grab your ski gear and head straight to the slopes from this six-bedroom, six-bathroom paradise in Naut Aran. Just a five-minute walk to the Esquirós chairlift, you’re right by the action. Two units combined to make one, so there’s double the living space for big groups to spread out. Two kitchens, two living rooms and two double rooms (each with its own jacuzzi tub) means double the flexibility to plan around a large group. If you prefer to cook together, the American-style kitchen has everything you need, and the second kitchen can act as a work-in pantry. Bring the two halves together over a meal, or gather the group either of the comfortable living rooms, where floor to ceiling windows let in beautiful mountain views. 

Double Slopes

Catalonia might be best known for its warm beaches and coastlines, but the Pyrenees mountains give this reputation a run for its money. In the most fantastic scenes of rugged peaks and valleys, ski towns like Baqueira-Beret become hubs of snowsports enthusiasts looking for resorts that are slightly under the radar. Just a few hundred metres from the lifts and pistes, this apartment is the perfect place to hang up your boots.

Modern, bright, and fresh – it doesn’t exactly sound like a typical chalet. Instead of going with the norm, this home feels more like a sophisticated city flat (although you do have a private ski locker on-site). The stylish blend of minimalist, understated furniture creates a relaxed, Scandi vibe. Pale wooden floors, ceilings, and kitchen cabinets are a nod to classic alpine interiors, as well as the glass-fronted fireplace for cosy nights on the sofa.

The kids will love the fun of sleeping in the bunk bed room, which feels like a ski trip dorm with a much-elevated level of comfort. And while they slumber, have the host arrange for a private chef to come over. Dine by the striking corner window, before heading out to the balcony for a glass of Catalan wine for a nightcap.

Brown Bear

This snuggly spot is a beautifully designed contemporary apartment that offers the perfect retreat to those looking to soak up the mountain scenes in and around Baquieria. 

The entire apartment feels like a warm hug with a light-washed colour scheme, natural materials, and soft furnishings. The ambience here is particularly inviting after a fun-filled day of winter sports and activities in the surrounding mountains. 

Around the apartment, you'll find plenty of garden areas, walking routes, and direct access to the ski lift for days spent on the slopes. In the evenings, curl up in a blanket with a hot drink (or glass of wine) in front of the fire to restore your energy – ready to do it all again the next day.
