Chalet La Fenice, Cervinia, Italy

Commanding a magnificent position high above the resort of Cervinia, Chalet La Fenice is a masterpiece of design and modern luxury. Completed in 2021 after a meticulous five-year restoration, this extraordinary property has risen from the ruins of an iconic 1930’s mountain retreat (once a popular holiday destination with European royalty) to reclaim its place as Cervinia’s most distinguished private chalet.

Located on a private plateau some 60 metres above the resort, the chalet enjoys uninterrupted 360 degree views of the surrounding peaks and unrivalled mountain sunlight from dawn to dusk. This commanding position ensures total privacy but guests can access the main lifts or the resort centre with the dedicated driver service.

When the weather calls for relaxation rather than skiing, guests are spoilt for choice. The hotel-grade spa includes an indoor swimming pool with a back-massage jet and glass-bottom feature, a panoramic sauna, a large hammam, and a steel hot tub on the sun deck with breathtaking mountain views. There is also a dedicated treatment room for massage and beauty therapies.

For those who prefer to stay active, the private gym is equipped with professional-grade fitness machines including a Wattbike, Gym Gear rower, Jordan free weights, yoga mats and the services of an in-house personal trainer.

La Fenice offers an array of entertainment that rivals the finest boutique hotels. The games room features a bespoke Etrusco pool table, table tennis, table football, a retro arcade machine, and even a pinball machine. Guests can also enjoy a 55-inch Smart TV, Oculus Quest VR headset, and the latest Xbox Series X console.

For cinematic indulgence, the private cinema offers tiered seating, a three-metre screen, full surround-sound, and access to Apple TV, Netflix, and satellite channels – complete with unlimited snacks and popcorn for an authentic cinema-night experience.

Spanning six lift-served floors and over 1,200 square metres, Chalet La Fenice accommodates up to 16 guests in complete luxury. There are three grand master suites, two of which occupy an entire floor each, while the third crowns the top level beneath the chalet’s vaulted roofline. A further four guest bedrooms are each beautifully styled and appointed with luxurious bathrooms. Every suite reflects the chalet’s commitment to discreet elegance and supreme comfort.

A dedicated team of five hospitality professionals ensures a seamless and truly bespoke stay. Guests are cared for by a private chef, chalet manager, hostess, driver, and housekeeping team – all impeccably presented in Rossignol-designed uniforms. Dining is an experience in itself, with your private chef crafting bespoke menus from a global repertoire following a personalised pre-arrival consultation. Service is polished yet relaxed, designed to make Chalet La Fenice feel like your own alpine home rather than a formal hotel.
