The Experience
Enter the carved door to find big chunky beams and slab floors of slate, worn smooth from centuries of use. The steeply pitched 18th-century Mas de la Coutettaz, the oldest building in Morzine, lies at the quiet end of town, a five-minute stroll from shops, restaurants and lifts to the vast Portes du Soleil.
Set off in summer for alpine paths (avoiding cyclists hurtling down mountains!). Traverse the snowy slopes of Morzine, Les Gets, Châtel and Avoriaz. Return to hot toddies in the old flagged bar, and log fires lit at the merest hint of chill. Dinners in the former cattle shed are candlelit and huge fun. The food is delicious and the wines well chosen.
Big, quirky, characterful bedrooms wait at the top of the stone stair. Some overlook the garden and others the mountain. Splash out on the one with the adorable balcony.

This was another fantastic experience at The Farmhouse. I have visited on and off since Dorrien first opened in 1993 or 1994. I keep going back because I find the service and quality of accommodation at The Farmhouse very difficult to beat. Great rooms with a unique style, outstanding food every evening and friendly, well trained staff who cannot do enough for you. This year was another very successful holiday and guarantees my return in future.

I loved our stay at the Farmhouse. It has the feel of a dear old friend's house party and we always meet fun guests when we go there. Dorrien, Di and James are wonderful hosts and the staff tend to have done interesting things before working at the Farmhouse. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Location
The neighbourhood
Hotel Coutettaz sits at the foot of the Col de Joux Plane, in its own grassy garden and with chalets around. Your nearest lifts are Le Pleney, 600m, and Super Morzine, 1km; in winter, the hotel ferries skiers to both. In summer you have hiking, biking and paragliding, tennis courts and a 50m pool. Smaller, family-friendly Les Gets is a 12-minute drive.
Local points of interest from Dorrien Ricardo
- Mountain biking and Road biking are the major sports in Morzine and the surrounding areas in the summer months. The Tour de France last visited in 2010 and July 2016.
- The Morzine leisure centre is just down the road from us. This is an Olympic size swimming pool, giant 80 metre water slide, bouncy castle, beach volley ball, indoor pool and spa with saunas and Turkish baths.
- Fantasticable: This is the only zip wire of its kind in the Alps. Two 1,200 metres cables which shoot you across the Plaine Dranse valley and back again. At one point you are 240 metres from the valley floor! A must for any adrenaline junkie!
- The beautiful lake Montriond is well worth visiting. Whether it be to walk around it, swim in it, paddle through it or just soak up the sunshine.
- Mountain walks and hiking are very popular with stunning views to be had at every twist and turn. Day trips can start from The Farmhouse doorstep and there are different grades of difficultly for all walkers.
- The Portes du Soleil region is one of the biggest and best in the world for skiing. 650km of pistes, 13 interconnecting resorts and fantastic off piste back country – you have everything at your fingertips.

Introducing
Dorrien Ricardo
Dorrien moved to France in 1982, and fell in love with Morzine in 1990. On discovering that this beautiful dilapidated farmhouse was up for sale, he succeeded in buying it three years later. Manager James arrived in 2008, leaving the world of finance behind. Together with Di, Dorrien's wife, they're warm natural hosts who know how to make guests feel at home.
The Farmhouse is a fabulous place and James, Dorrien and Di are super, warm hosts. The whole place, from bedrooms to bar to living room, is comfy, cosy and relaxed. A perfect base from which to cycle and explore the area!
