Consensio Chalets

What Consensio Chalets does

Consensio Chalets (legally Consensio Holidays Limited, company number 07008912) is a privately held UK-based luxury ski chalet operator founded in 2009 by Stuart Pinnell and Ceri Tinley and headquartered at 9 Reece Mews, South Kensington, London, with operational presence in the French Alps. The company directly manages a portfolio of more than 20 chalets and apartments across three premier French Alps resorts — Val d'Isère, Méribel, and Courchevel — offered through three service tiers: Ultimate Catered Chalets (private chef, dedicated team, in-resort chauffeur, full concierge), Relaxed Catered Chalets (chef-prepared dinners, daily breakfast, afternoon tea, housekeeping and shared driver service), and Serviced Alpine Properties (self-catered apartments with daily housekeeping and concierge support). The company positions itself explicitly as an operator rather than an agent, with the booking contract held directly between guest and Consensio and a profit-sharing partnership model with property owners (the namesake 'consensio' meaning co-operative).

Revenue is generated per weekly whole-property booking (Sunday-Sunday for catered, Saturday-Saturday for serviced), with a 25% deposit and balance due 70 days before arrival, in addition to French TVA and Taxe de Sejour. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution combines a direct sales team (telephone, email, WhatsApp, face-to-face consultations in London, Edinburgh or the Alps) with a global commission-based travel agent network and a referral partnership through The Bespoke Travel Club consortium. Customer segments are affluent families, corporate groups seeking exclusive-use retreats, groups of friends, and celebration/event guests (weddings, anniversaries, birthdays). A sub-brand, Consensio Alpine Real Estate, provides property acquisition advisory and owner management services for unlisted luxury chalets in the three resorts, opening a professional-services revenue stream adjacent to the core rental business.

Marketing covers an owned SEO-optimized blog, active social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok), email newsletters, paid search/SEO analytics, and earned media via press releases and a Consensio Magazine; in-resort partnerships (Perrier Jouët as house champagne, Maison Sport and Progression Ski for instruction, Elite Ski Team for high-mountain guiding, Bonne Santé Alps for spa, Jelly & Ice Cream for childcare, Mont Blanc Hélicoptères for transfers, The Mountain Mixologist) complete the service stack. The company holds ABTA membership (Y5990), is GDPR-compliant, and has earned multiple World Ski Awards nominations and wins for Best Ski Chalet in France. The technology core is a third-party ChaletManager booking platform; no API, SDK, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.
