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.
