In alps, Contemporary, Europe, luxury, mountains, Nature

This Swiss villa’s setting and views are simply superb

Escape the frenetic rush of city life with this spectacular 6-bed house perched high above Savièse (St-Germain), with eye-popping views of the nearby mountains to soothe and inspire.

The villa is arranged around patios and a pool for indoor-outdoor living

The setting and the landscape is matched by an interior that is high-end and stylish, with living accommodation spread across three floors and 660 sq m of internal space. The heart of the house is the vast open-plan area on the middle floor that has been divided up with design features to create multiple spaces for the occupants and guests.

Spacious and stylish open-plan living space occupies the second floor

The fireplace is a stunning addition, making the house feel cosy and welcoming when the weather bites outside, and the dining area currently sits in a superb spot, with patio doors allowing meals to expel out onto the terrace.

Meals can easily flow outside with multiple patio doors onto the terrace

There is also an open-plan kitchen, finished to an impeccable standard with all the expected fittings. This is well served in terms of informal eating areas for when guests gather around the chef (as they always seem to do!).

A sleek modern kitchen looks impressive but functions well for the home-chef too

There is yet more space in this open-plan area, with current owners having placed a billiards table in a prime spot to provide yet further options for entertainment.

The space is flexible, allowing new owners to create the living areas that suit their lifestyle

The first floor is the exclusive area for the master of the house: there is an impressive bedroom suite complete with a private terrace, bathroom and large dressing room.

The master suite occupies an entire floor, boasting a private terrace

Four more bedrooms, all boasting the same incredible views, are gathered on the upper ground floor, the majority of which have their own bathroom or luxurious en-suite. As you’d expect from a house of this quality, the bathrooms are divine..

Luxurious bathrooms provide all the space, options and views for a heavenly washing experience

Also to be found on this floor, remarkably, is something of a wellbeing suite that will be irresistible to those within the house, whatever the weather.

The wellbeing suite has an indoor pool, sauna and Hammam for the colder days

Yes, I am referring to a sauna, a Hamman and an indoor pool (plus a guest toilet). It’s a luxurious resort experience in a home.

Enjoy the garden views from your own sauna

Dropping down to the lower ground floor, this house keeps giving in terms of accommodation space. There is an office/bedroom with a shower, a guest toilet, a carnotzet with a fireplace and kitchenette. This is a very usable space and could be used to create a separate accommodation (perhaps for older relatives) or extensive work area.

This separate living space complete with bedrooms could suit visiting families

This is also an area for indulgence, with an air-conditioned wine cave to keep your dinner well lubricated, and a games room complete with another billiards table.

To balance out the indulgence, this floor also has a fitness room; you can work off all the wine and cheese perhaps?

There is ample space for garage and outdoor parking within this property’s land (secured behind electric gates and CCTV) and an incredible, heated infinity pool to maximise the views of the Rhône valley and the Valais Alps.

The views from the heated infinity pool are inspiring

Non-swimmers can still enjoy the views with well-placed, shaded seating areas across the terraces. These are superb spots for al-fresco meals when the weather allows.

Patio areas and terraces surrounding the pool

The landscaped garden contains a small chalet that will be a pleasure for children to discover and for adults craving peace to hide away from a busy household.

A hidden chalet within the landscaped gardens will be a treat for the youngsters

The property lies within the commune of Savièse and overlooks Sion, the capital of the Valais, which is known for it’s cathedral and two castles. It is also within easy hopping distance of the ski resorts, and Sion itself combines an historic old town with newer amenities (such as the country’s largest bus station). Good to know: this is located within one of the most important wine-growing regions. Keep that cellar topped up..

As its situated close to ski resorts, this villa could be your classier alternative to a chalet

Sion has an airport, which has regular international flights. There is a larger airport at Geneva, around 100km away.

5-bed Eiffel Tower-view apartment (France), €9,950,000

On 31 January 2024

In Contemporary, Europe, france, french, Historic, luxury

This spacious, elegant duplex is the ideal Parisian pad

If seeking an impressive, centrally-located pad in Paris, there is little to fault in this duplex apartment within a Haussmann building that sits, wonderfully, on the Champ de Mars, enjoying an unparalleled view of the Eiffel Tower.

Occupiers will never tire of the best view in the city

With approximately 294 sq m of internal space, this property covers the second and third floors and has been renovated to a luxurious standard, providing five bedrooms and ample living space, all with spectacular views of Paris’ iconic tower.

Bright open-plan living space is ideal for entertaining

The main living area is large and bright, with a dining area and a living room which flows out onto the terrace in one direction, flowing into a beautifully-equipped and very stylish kitchen in the other. It’s an ideal set-up delivered in artistic style.

With a kitchen this chic and convenient, you may just swap Parisian gastronomy for home cooking…occasionally..

The master bedroom suite has a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom, all of which are spacious and luxurious. This bedroom opens straight onto a private balcony for a hearty glimpse of the Eiffel Tower before or after sleep. On this floor there is another bedroom and bathroom, as well as an office and a laundry room (ah, the sensible things).

Bedrooms have private balconies for secluded spaces to enjoy the spectacular view

Climbing up another floor – this has it’s own access too, if private access is required – leads you to a further two bedrooms and a living room, as well as a bathroom and dressing area. This serves as a private suite and could suit a family (hide the kids upstairs?) or accommodate guests in privacy.

With two bedrooms and a living space on the second floor, a private suite is available

All rooms are exquisite in their proportions and their style, making the whole property feel as elegant as Paris itself and yet providing a sense of comfort and welcome in the anonymous bustle of a capital city.

Bathrooms are as stylish as they are convenient, with seriously impressive tubs

The property is completed with a cellar to store the ample wine collection (it’s France, you’ll need it), and the building itself is served by a caretaker and – despite the age of the building – an elevator.

Such contemporary luxury within an historic part of the capital is a winning combination

There are three airports serving Paris, the closest just 8.6 miles away (Orly) while Charles de Gaulle Airport is 16 miles away. The building is a short walk from the nearest Metro station and from one of the many main stations (Paris has six), from where there are train connections to other major French cities and across Europe.

As the largest and one of the most popular of the Spanish Balearic islands, Mallorca is packed with spectacular resorts and modern villas, but the truly impressive properties are harder to find. If you’re searching currently, you’re in luck: an incredible 17th-century finca on 300 hectares near Valldemossa, in the heart of the UNESCO world heritage Serra de Tramuntana, is now on sale.

The estate is vast, with multiple buildings surrounded by terraces

The estate holds a large main villa and various buildings, totalling 4,300 m. sq. of internal space, while 400 m. sq. of open terraces as well as a charming Mallorcan courtyard provide external living space. For those looking to combine history with modern luxury living, this finca is impressive and charming – a viewing is sure to melt the heart.

You can hear the horses hooves of history clattering in the internal courtyard

Some authentic features of the buildings have been cherished and dot the superb and vast living space, which includes formal dining and living rooms, a professional kitchen and multiple reception rooms for hosting events, parties or family gatherings.

Multiple reception rooms provide ample space for large gatherings

There will no shortage of space for visitors, with 84 bedrooms spread across the property. These are served by 70 en-suite bathrooms and a further 10 en-suite showers and Jacuzzis, leaving just four people to share a grand bathroom (what hardship!).

Bedrooms are large and impressive, many with balconies and most en-suite

The bedrooms are large and impeccably designed to create suites, with the most impressive containing dressing areas in addition to their en-suite bathrooms. All rooms, reception and bedrooms, bathe in the beautiful Spanish sunshine courtesy of multiple, well-placed windows. Light stone and tiled floors help to ensure the historic stone building never feels dark, welcoming all to enjoy its majestic space.

The house feels historic but is beautifully restored and equipped

The grounds of the estate contain a well-sized swimming pool and a football field, as well as a tennis court (with floodlights for playing after dark). The land (a 36,000 m. sq park) has permissions for hunting, and there is a golf course just a few minutes away for yet another activity option.

The tennis court is one of the many venues for outdoor activities

With parking for 20 cars, there are no reasons why your visitors won’t be flocking to share this incredible finca whenever you open the doors to them. Travel is easy too, with the airport just 15 minutes drive from the finca itself. The main island town of Palma is 10 minutes away, where many amenities and superb restaurants and bars are available for when you seek to escape the grounds of your 17-century country estate….occasionally…

Chic Viennese ‘Palais’ penthouse (Austria), €8,800,000

On 29 September 2023

In city living, Contemporary, Europe, High rise, Historic, luxury, Vienna

A penthouse apartment in a historic building right in the heart of the city is surely the only way to enjoy life in Vienna

To truly embrace the elegance and style of Vienna, one needs an elegant, stylish and superbly-located penthouse to retire to at the end of a glorious day in the city. Look no further than the Palais Hansen, a historic building that was extensively renovated over a decade ago to accommodate a five-star hotel and 17 luxurious apartments.

The building may be historic, but this space is contemporary, bright and elegant

One of these apartments is up for sale: a wonderful modern penthouse apartment that will impress from the moment you step into the grand entrance hall, complete with a double-height hanging chandelier and slick staircase.

Glide straight on towards the open plan living, dining and cooking area, all basking under a wash of natural light from windows and skylights and providing ample entertaining and chilling space.

The open-plan living/dining/cooking areas are swathed in light from the generous use of skylights and windows

The kitchen is within its own nook and enjoys a connected utility/laundry room that ensures the daily drudge of housekeeping tasks can be hidden away from the main space.

There is an additional seating area in the kitchen space to provide options for both informal and formal dining

Of course when the sun shines you will be eager to lounge and dine out on the spacious, comfortable roof terrace, from where the beautiful buildings of Vienna can be admired at close quarters.

The terrace has a covering that can be rolled out if wet or too hot – but can you bear to hide the view?

The master bedroom suite is as opulent as you’d expect in such a remarkable building and comes complete with access to another smaller terrace overlooking the inner courtyard. An ideal place for your morning coffee, perhaps?

Bedrooms, both en-suite, are simple but chic and incredibly comfortable

There are a further two impeccable bedroom suites within this roomy appartment, both of which have beautifully-finished en suite bathrooms.

Having an en-suite both bedrooms make the accommodation incredibly convenient

In terms of location, this building could hardly be bettered. It’s located on the famous Ringstrasse Boulevard, with excellent transport links and local amenities in close proximity. How can we forget the incredible historic sites the First District contains? These are on the doorstep too!

Try to watch the TV but be distracted by the view..

Vienna is well served with an international airport 18 km away from the centre of town. There is also a large train station with connections to the rest of the country as well as nearby Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary.
