Unlocking Val d'Aran

Packing a punch right from the get go, you’ll be impressed by the contrast of both material and colour used in this Vielha home’s lounge. Soft velvet can be found next to rough brick, and bold blue pops against the neutrality of the natural wood. Playful details like these are continued in the kitchen where, despite being very modern, you’ll still see a natural floor tile and a good splash of sunflower yellow.

When you’re not on the slopes – the Baqueira-Beret lift is just over a twenty-minute drive away – you can get some fresh air out on one of the many hiking trails the area has to offer. Eat locally once you’re done for the day and return to the comforts of the home. Run a luxurious bubble bath and soak in the freestanding tub by the skylight, sneaking a glimpse of the beautiful view as you get in.

Light the fire and curl up with a good book and cup of coffee, or barbecue outside, roasting marshmallows as you wait for the embers to get to the right temperature before grilling your food. Dine together, laugh together, play boardgames on the lounge floor, and when the stars are at their brightest, why not sit outside together with cups of warm cocoa in hand.
