La Bouitte (which means ‘little house’ in the local dialect) had humble beginnings. Built in the mid-1970s by René and Marie-Louise Meilleur, it was a mountain restaurant that welcomed skiers and served hearty local dishes such as fondue and raclette. Development of the establishment began in 1984, with the creation of St Martin de Belleville as a ski resort, and the restaurant began the Michelin-starred route in 2003.
It is truly a family business: René is now joined in the kitchen by his son Maxime, accompanied by their wives Marie-Louise and Delphine. In 2005, the small spa ‘La Bela Vya’ was opened, offering traditional Savoyard wellness treatments inspired by nature, followed by the extension in 2016 where guests discover the exclusive range of Meilleur Nature products, made from local alpine plant extracts, the indoor lake, the citrus hammam, the spruce sauna and the steam-heated solan (hay bed).”
Possibly the most celebrated of La Bouitte’s qualities is its restaurant, with its beautiful traditional Savoyard décor, its welcoming, warm atmosphere (without the preciousness sometimes found in high-end restaurants), and its renowned cuisine, which often uses everyday ingredients and elevates them with a theatrical twist. There is a good selection of set menus and à la carte dishes; the wine list is exceptional.
Ample uncovered parking is available.
The hotel is offered on room only basis. Breakfast and dinners can be taken at the hotel, paid locally.
La Bouitte offers 15 chalet-style rooms and suites, each bearing a girl’s name; all are very comfortable and individually decorated in traditional rustic-chic Savoyard style with wooden floors and chunky furniture, but with a distinct feminine feel; all are beautifully appointed and offer all contemporary amenities, such as flat-screen satellite TV, telephone, safe, minibar, Expresso coffee maker and free WiFi.
All rooms and suites have en-suite bath or shower room with WC; most have balcony or terrace. Some are interconnecting and some have a wood burner or fireplace.
