Subject: небольой отрывок Пожалуйста, помогите перевести.The chalet itself puts the average stripped pine interior to shame. This building has been around for hundreds of years, and was lately converted from its most recent incarnation as an upmarket restaurant. It has got all the atmosphere a Francophile snob could want, hiding artfully installed facilities. The discreet, modern kitchen is fitted with chefs in mind (for once this is chalet food that genuinely could be described as top restaurant quality). An upstairs lounge room has the kind of solid desk and sleek computer terminal that blends in enough to not startle the holidaying guest, but still is reassuringly executive, should you suddenly feel the need to sell your stake in Gazprom. There is art on some walls, enormous stuffed stags on others. A great log fire is always burning. The soft white Russian down duvets are so snug that one night I don't even realise that I've left the balcony door open, and sleep through a snowstorm coming into my room. Outside, we splash around in the hot tub, a few metres away from a centuries-old chapel that now comes with the property - ski wedding, anyone? The little details: Rather than anything so infra dig as guests struggling down to the ski hire shop, the staff of Ogier Sport (Val's best, according to Descent) come to the chalet with skis and boots that magically fit. OTT: All who stay can enjoy a five-course meal at which every course - from soup to dessert - is accompanied by a differing vintage of Perrier Jouet champagne. Oh, champagne is used in the cooking, too. Заранее спасибо |

put to shame 1) (smb.) (п)осрамить, опозорить кого-л. 2) (smb. или smth.) затмить, превзойти кого-л. или что-л. Да-а-а... красиво жить не запретишь. |
