Les Fermes de Marie Review

By reassembling a number of Alpine chalets and hay houses brought down from the mountains and decorating rooms with old Savoie furniture (including shepherds' tables, sculptured chests, and credenzas), Jocelyne and Jean-Louis Sibuet have created a luxury hotel with a delightfully rustic feel for both winter and summer getaways. Enjoy such advantages as shuttle bus service to ski lifts in season and a spa providing a wide range of services in a most tranquil setting. The hotel restaurant creates fine cuisine based on local products.

Barely 1-star compared to other world-class resorts

Compared with other world-class resorts we have stayed at (French Polynesia, NY, Park City, Zermatt, London…) it is hard to find justification for the price level of the room. We stayed at the best room in the house and had constant noise, woke up to smells from the kitchen in the morning, had a broken bed and chair. The shower was terrible, most of the time there was no hot water and several times we got sulfuric water. The spa is the worst we have ever used (and we have been to over 40 different spas).
