Chalet Doss
Sant'Antonio di Mavignola, Italy
Sleeps 18-23 / 9 bedrooms
Sleeps 18-23 / 9 bedrooms
Carefully renovated in 2020, today Chalet Doss has lost none of its charm and magical simplicity, but has retained a hint of luxury for today’s discerning travellers. Think giant larch beams, roaring fires, granite stones, sauna, hot tub, cinema room PS5, pool table and sumptuous local foods and wines.
The centre-piece of the chalet is the living room where a vast fire-place creates a focus point to gather round and enjoy drinks and cakes on comfy sofas; a backdrop to the long dining room table where guests are served meals in the evening under the giant larch timbers and granite stones of the house.
Inter-connected to the main room is the kitchen; bespoke granite worktops, a black Smeg oven and fully-stocked prosecco fridge, with two traditional tables for breakfasts and kid’s meals in the cosy corners. The kitchen looks out over a terrace with the meadows and river beneath.
Spread across four floors, the chalet interconnects and weaves through ancient stone and wood corridoors, offering space and privacy to guests, finishing with the spa and entertainment rooms on the lower ground floor.
The chalet has 9 bedrooms, and with the exception of one kid’s room, every bedroom is ensuite. The bathrooms are new and understated, in stone and wood. All have showers except the master suite ‘Aquila’, which has bath and shower and a private terrace opening out in complete privacy over the forest and mountain stream below. Most of the double rooms have twin mattresses that enable the beds to be separated if need be.

Part of what makes Chalet Doss so special is the layout of the property. With bedrooms located across four floors, it guarantees privacy and space for a giant throng of guests, who can decide to gather together or retreat to their own private spaces whenever they wish. Warm duvets and soft pillows complete the dream.
Each bedroom has its own twist, curtains are from Scotland, mattresses and bedding of the highest quality. No tvs in these rooms, this is elemental simplicity at its best, where sleep is treasured, and the only sound one hears at night is the rushing river and perhaps the rustling of a badger or owl outside.
There is a sauna and Jacuzzi wellness area downstairs with a needle shower and separate room with family bath alongside. Also, a pool table, and a separate games room / tv area with flatscreen tv to keep kids of all ages entertained alongside a gaming console.
To complete it all, a few steps outside the chalet, the owners are installing a wood-fired hot-tub with built in hydro massage, overlooking the river and forest all around in complete privacy.
There is also a covered garage across from the Chalet, and a boot room with heated boot warmers for all.

The owners of the chalet are total foodies, and the meals and ingredients offered to guests reflects this obsession. In true Italian style, morning meals are bread, pastries, eggs and cheese, alongside a coffee machine. So, guests can come, quickly make their breakfast and graze through the kitchen at the hours that suite them, before hitting the slopes. When guests return from the slopes they are met with a roaring fire, (and bubbling hot tub outside) with fresh cakes and tea from the chef or Andreas, the chalet host.
Late afternoon drifts into early evening, and prosecco, wines and antipasti plates sourced from the local farm, are shared around the fire, before a three course Tyrolean meal. No fancy food here. Think hearty mountain pastas and meat dishes followed with strudel and fresh mountain cream. Prepared to warm the heart and fill the stomach after a long day on the slopes. Many of our friends are vegetarian or vegan, and notified in advance, we can accommodate most dietary requests within the evening meals.
Separate tables in the kitchen can accommodate the impatient appetites of kids as well, served and finished so they can disappear downstairs to bed or to the games room, and leave the parents in peace to enjoy their meal.
We source as much of the food as we can get from close-by. Organic and as local as you can get, our neighbor’s flock grazes the chalet meadows in summer. The methods of farming here are timeless and the flavours reflect this. The fresh butter even changes colour in the season depending on what flowers the cows are eating that month.

Staff serves the wines that we drink ourselves in Italy. Complimentary Prosecco sourced from a small off-label supplier whose drinks accompany our every family gathering in Italy. And Forst beer (the regional favourite) alongside complimentary red and whites from the region, are offered with every meal, alongside the obligatory local grappa after dessert. For curious palates, the chalet cellar also stocks a fun breadth of wines from across Italy that can be purchased at any time alongside champagnes and gin.
Please note the chalet is also available to rent on a self-catered basis.
