English term or phrase: special
Site internet d'un logement touristique dans les Alpes (chambre d'hôtes luxe)


A place for people who love special.
Our exceptional chalet experience includes top-quality food and wine, outstanding service and a glowing wood burning stove to come home to. We make sure every day of your holiday is special.

C'est le premier "special" qui me pose problème.
Peut-on parler ici de "ceux qui aiment l'exclusivité" ?
Ou quelque chose dans le genre.... ? plus joli.... ;-)
Merci pour vos idées.

(amateurs d')exclusivité


Explanation:
Pour traduire "people who love special" et on pourrait même faire court et percutant, un brin mystérieux avec
pour les amateurs d'exclusivité
selon ce qu'il y a autour, la précision "a place" pourrait être superflue en français

incomparable


Explanation:
Exceptionnel is obviously a very good choice but the next sentence uses exceptional
"Our exceptional chalet"
So incomparable carries that bit of very special place...
"Pour ceux qui aiment l'incomparable"
