detached house
Usage Note
Chalet in Spain commonly refers to any detached house with a garden, not just an Alpine-style lodge. Chalet adosado means a terraced or row house (attached to its neighbours). The plural can be chalets or chalés (the RAE-preferred spelling). Borrowed from French, the final 't' is usually silent, hence the variant chalé.
Examples
"Viven en un chalet con jardín."
