Mineral Lodge (Villaroger, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) Hotel Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Sometimes a hotel isn’t just a hotel, it’s a modern architectural landmark. Here’s what you need to know about the Mineral Lodge, located at an altitude of 1200 meters in the Rhône-Alpes region of the French Alps. The project was conceived by celebrated architect and philosopher Christian Girard, one of the founders of the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture Paris Malaquais, and constructed on the ruins of an old chalet-style farmhouse perched high in the mountainous landscape. The result is a sustainably built and tech-forward stone and rock structure with spectacular views over cliffs and valleys — and a pretty inspired piece of design." - Tablet Hotels

Mineral Lodge, Villaroger, near Les Arcs, French Alps - Explore & Book

"This unique chalet is tucked away on the edge of Villaroger, a tiny village in the beautiful Tarentaise Valley, just below the ski resort of Les Arcs. Plucked from the ruins of a farm that once belonged to the great, great grandparents of current owner Alain, it had lain unused for decades before being transformed into the sleek, contemporary building it is today. Entering is like walking into the pages of an interiors magazine: brushed steel sits against walls of glass, and statement furniture is scattered around the 3 floors, all linked by a striking open staircase. The 5 rooms (4 doubles and a 2-bedroom Family Suite) blend traditional Savoyard stone from the original house with ultra-modern touches such as waterfall showers, digital art and designer lighting. There’s also a state-of-the-art media room, salons with fireplaces, and a dining room where breakfast and dinner are served around a giant resin table. In winter, you’re just 50m from the lift up to Les Arcs, which forms part of the mighty Paradiski ski area, and within easy reach of Val d’Isère and Tignes; in summer, you can hike, bike, paraglide and play golf. Afterwards, return to the sauna and outdoor hot tub, or laze on the balcony as the setting sun glints off the peaks above. Highs The flexibility - unlike many chalets, Mineral Lodge is let by the room, so it’s a great option for couples and small families. Larger groups can book the whole place on a catered or self-catering basisThe tranquillity - this is no bustling resort, just a quiet mountain retreat with spa treatments and stunning sceneryThe spaciousness - there are 2 guest lounges, balconies and terraces with soaring views, and lots of nooks to snuggle up inThe food - hearty Savoyard staples such as fondue, veal or rabbit stew, and tarte tatin. Local wine and beer is available, tooAlain’s infectious enthusiasm for design. He hosts regular exhibitions of iconic furniture in the common areas, and some pieces are available to buy Lows The design can feel rather spartan - it’s not for those who prefer cosy, more traditional chalet styleMeals are communal affairs - not to everyone’s taste - and breakfast is a fairly light continental spread, though you can pay extra for cooked optionsIf you want to be close to nightlife and après-ski action, stay elsewhereCheck-in is late (5pm) and full prepayment is required a month prior to arrivalSome feedback suggests form comes before function (escaping shower spray, slow service), but we didn’t experience this during our visit" - Belinda Archer

An unforgettable escape at Mineral Lodge in the French Alps! From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the breathtaking mountain views and the cozy, charming chalet. The attention to detail in the design and furnishings created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff's hospitality was exceptional, ensuring every aspect of my stay was perfect. Whether we were relaxing inside or exploring the stunning surroundings, every moment felt like a dream. A true gem in the heart of the Alps. Can't wait to return to Mineral Lodge for another incredible getaway! ⛰️🏔️🏠

We had a lovely stay here. The hosts are discreet and welcoming, the house stunning, and the bedroom clean and comfortable. Breakfast was simple but good and plentiful (loved the pancake days!) and we were given great recommendations on hikes and other restaurants in the area. The village is peaceful and well located. We also enjoyed the healthy and tasty home cooked dinners a few nights. We stayed 4 nights and wish we could have stayed longer! My only slight gripe was being charged €10 when we asked for a cup of tea one day, which is rather steep especially considering the price of the b&b.

We stayed here for four nights to getaway from it all and to enjoy some of the local hiking. The location, service and design of the chalet did not disappoint! On our first night, Alain, cooked us a fantastic four course meal made from food local to the area and helped us plan our next three days. ||||Alain's suggestions were perfect - poking around Val D'Isere the first day, and then a hike into a beautiful alpine meadow full of marmots. On the second day he suggested a drive to Italy and the Aosta Valley and on the third day, two more hikes into a beautiful secret valley followed by a second valley full of small villages, cows and sheep. All the hikes were well marked and since it was early in the season, had very few hikers. Food was easy to pick-up in the local villages.||||Mineral Lodge was a great base to experience the Savoie Valley. The Lodge is beautiful, the bed super comfortable and since it's perched halfway up the mountain extremely quiet. Our first morning we enjoyed coffee outside to the sound of cow and sheep bells. After our hikes, we had snacks and apertifs in the garden while we relaxed in the afternoon sun. There is also a jacuzzi and sauna to work out the aches! A restaurant is also available within walking distance if you would like something different. ||||A wonderful experience with no detail overlooked.

We loved staying in this stunning property, the photos do not do it justice! It exceeded all expectations. The room was very spacious and absolutely spotless, the common areas were very light and airy with incredible mountain views. Our host Alan was lovely, he was so helpful and booked a different beautiful french restaurant for us each night. The first night Alan cooked a great 4 course meal, it was so convenient too after a long drive from Geneva airport. There was always fresh bread and croissants for breakfast which we loved. Great access to the Les Arcs ski area from here, there is a chair lift just outside so it really is 'ski in, ski out' accommodation. My only advice is be aware that it's quite a long ski down after a full day skiing, and whilst there are blue runs all the way down some are quite challenging with tired legs..so I wouldn't recommend this side of the mountain for beginner skiers. |Mineral Lodge is an unforgettable place I thoroughly recommend this very special place.

One of the best visits we have ever had. The property was stunning and had been designed with the original farmhouse brickwork with modern glass and metal. It was a beautiful combination . The common space rooms were large , comfortable and filled with interesting special furniture and art. The host was beyond helpful and friendly - a really special person. He cooked us a wonderful dinner which he did with passion and we ate outside overlooking the whole valley. It was a visit neither me or my son will forget.

Our third time visiting the Mineral Lodge. It's a unique experience. It a luxury contemporary chalet holiday. The host Alan goes out of his way to give you the holiday you want. The architecture of the lodge is amazing. We tend to eat in and find his food is just what you need after skiing. Other people prefer to eat out. Alan is very flexible. Small thing really matter such as turning on the ski boot heater in the morning and underfloor heating. Skiing is vast in the Les Arc area, but Vilaroger has very little ques.

We booked this place on a short notice trip to Val dIsere (Off Season) and just for the one night. The hotel looked really beautiful in the photos and much better then anything else on offer off season. ||||Upon arrival we were not sure whether the hotel was open or whether we made the booking by mistake. Nevertheless we parked up and approached the front door where we were met by the owner Allan. ||||We were the only guests that evening and we literally felt like we were invited into someone's luxury design home. The property is beautifully done, built recessed behind the walls of an old castle. ||||The room is nicely designed and the view of the mountain is very serene. We placed our luggage in the room and went to have a tea in the lounge while Allan cooked us a sumptuous dinner with local wine and great cheese platter before desert, truly enjoyable. ||||If you are looking for a romantic and secret hideaway then this is the place for you. Well recommended and must be absolute magic in the winter when all is covered by snow

Mineral Lodge is an incredibly luxurious experience. The decor, layout, and ambiance are very contemporary and modern. However, Alan, the host makes treats you like a personal house guest. He puts no constraints on his guests, and you have the flexibility to do what your want. We took full advantage his hospitality and enjoyed Alan's regional cooking for all but one evening, including pre and post dinner drinks around the modern fireplace. It was a real pleasure to meet and share a meal with the other guests around the table. ||||The lodge is very convenient for the ski lifts, and you can ski back to within 10 meters of the door. The boot room even includes a boot heater, which Alan turns on in the morning. ||In general, we don't visit the same place twice, but we will be booking Mineral Lodge again very soon.
