The Orcia Chalet & Spa way of life
Enjoy the warmth of an open fire
Today, you feel like cutting yourself off from the world in the Orcia Chalet.
You curl up yourself in a soft and comfortable plaid. Everything is still except from the log cracking in the fire place. A scent of burning wood and old newspaper is still there.
Your body is nice and warm, except for a slight freshness on your fingers as you turn the textured pages of your book. You immerse yourself in the fascinating adventures of your hero. You can almost hear the hooves of the horses hitting the ground as he tries to escape, you can even smell the organic fragrancess of the forest…
Le comte de Monte- Cristo :
The epitome of relentless revenge
« Wait and hope »
The wisdom of Edmond Dantès.
Proud sailor about to be named captain and marry his beloved, Edmond Dantes is arrested and thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed.
He is confined fourteen years to the grim fortress of If. There, his cellmate, Father Faria, tells him about a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo. Edmond Dantes is determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration.
Alexandre Dumas relates this extraordinary adventure, inspired by a true story with genius.
Published in 1844-1846, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the most popular works of world literature. Dazzling storyteller, Dumas leads us from the cabinet of Louis XVIII to the Mediterranean smugglers, from Tuscan islands to the catacombs of Rome and in the Parisian salons of the XIXth century.
