Hôtel Restaurant la Ferme de Cupelin

This is a special place. Oozing with the taste and character of its owners, it seems like a lot of thought and care has gone into the decoration. The alpine style building is packed with thoughtful decorative touches that are all designed to enhance the guest’s comfort and enjoyment. The interior is principally modern and the bedrooms look like a lot of investment has gone into them. This is a hotel that actually deserves to be called ‘boutique’ since it’s like nothing else. The young owner Olivia met us and explained everything we needed to know. Since the in-house restaurant was closed for the day, she booked us one in town (6 minutes drive). We enjoyed a long walk up the hillside to generate appetite. Breakfast was a wonderful experience- both for the huge range of home-made foodstuffs, but also the epic view. We had a room (#5) at the front, with a view sadly obscured by cloud. We could stay only one night, but wished it could be more. It’s certainly not cheap (we paid €180) and breakfast is an additional €20, so should not be rushed. But you get what you pay for and this place is certainly far from run-of-the-mill. Recommended.

We loved this small hotel four years ago and now it is even better with an indoor pool. There are 9 rooms including two new chalets in the grounds. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly and most speak good English. The location is in a quiet part of St Gervais which is a 5 minute drive away. It would be a bit far to walk though. Everything you could wish for is provided and the breakfast (20€ extra) is satisfying with yogurt and fresh fruit, cheeses and cold meats, cooked eggs and a range of home made jams with bread. They made me gluten free little bread rolls specially. If I had to find room for improvement I would say the shower in our room was a bit difficult, either too hot/ cold or fast flow/ weak flow.

Un hôtel et restaurant fabuleux, authentique et unique. De l’accueil, au service, en passant par un dîner gourmand et gastronomique, jusqu’à dormir dans une chambre face aux montagnes, c’était une parenthèse idyllique ! Merci à Laurianne et Florian ainsi qu’à toute l’équipe de la Ferme de Cupelin !
