Marvellous Mountain Matterhorn Views. 4 Valleys

DarshanRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Beautiful place although it is a good 20 minutes drive from the main roads. Close to Ski facilities hence would be ideal during winter season. Accomodation as such is beautiful and in good condition, linens are not provided and that is in the small print. potential visitors should take that into account and it costs roughly 200 £ equivalent for 5 days. Otherwise nothing much to comment as everything is well maintained and you will definitely enjoy your stay regardless of the season.

4.5 Zi. Maisonette apartment with mountain views

JoeyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a wonderful time in Kandersteg. What a nice apartment with a beautiful view. It was clean and spacious and the host was extremely hospitable. We immediately felt at home and welcome. The Contact was very pleasant. The host respected our privacy, which we really like. Kandersteg is a beautiful, cozy village and a good base to look around... the Oeschinensee is almost in your backyard! We have been here twice. We also visited Lauterbrunnen and went to Grindelwald a lot. We did the First Cliffwalk including a walk to the lake and we walked the Eiger Trail. We went to the Rozenlaui Glacier and visited the Giessbach waterfall. What a breathtaking environment. We leave a piece of our heart behind in Kandersteg

VasilyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I stayed one week in the Annette & Luke apartment in September and beginning of October 2024. The place was very clean, comfortable, very quiet and had all facilities for cooking. Specifically I would mention very comfortable bed and pillows and blinds - things that many airbnb hosts underestimate. I slept like a baby, things that made my rest even more enjoyable. I would definitely re-visit the place and greatly recommend it. All big thanks to Annette and Luke.

Lac, ski, sauna et piano

EmmanuelleRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is a place I would like to keep just for myself/us;-). The surroundings don't pay off, but once the door is open, we're in a bubble! We loved the view, being almost with your feet in the water. The terrace is a happiness. Certainly the stairs, to go down from the kitchen to the terrace are narrow and steep, but the few minutes of attention it requires are largely rewarded with the pleasure of lunch, dinner "on the lake". The apartment is as described: we enter directly into the "dining/living room/kitchen" (with a great piano and always this wonderful view of the lake) and, at the bottom of the stairs are the bedroom, the bathroom (which can be described as a large tiled shower/sink cubicle), the toilet, and the famous terrace. Leopold was very welcoming, giving us good ideas for walks. This stay was very pleasant, refreshing. Thanks to Leopold and his apartment!

Nice chalet for 2 ideally located

LauraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Cute and cosy chalet in spectacular surroundings was perfect for our long weekend getaway. Amazing views from the balcony and the window out to the Mont Blanc mountain ranges! Quiet and peaceful location but only a 10 minute walk into town for restaurants, cable car up the mountain, bus stops, etc. Great instructions, easy check-in with lockbox and very clean. Also liked the mountain themed decor and whilst no kitchen, the fridge, kettle, plates, etc provided was perfect for a few days. Would definitely stay again! 😀

Lovely chalet Chamonix Mt Blanc **** 6/7 p.

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews1 month ago

The most WONDERFUL chalet. Beautiful inside and out, very spacious, but comfortable and well equipped too. The views are amazing and we saw deer and black squirrels from the house. Plenty of room for our family of 5. The boys loved their bedrooms and the mezzanine TV room. The outside space is lovely for relaxing and enjoying the views. Isabelle was so kind and helpful and made us feel so welcome. She gave us lots of useful info on travelling in and out of Chamonix, places to eat etc. we ate out but also made good use of the kitchen. Showers were fabulous. Honestly, we had such a lovely time here. Chamonix during UTMB week was absolutely buzzing and we loved it. Cannot fault the chalet at all - it was perfect and we had a lovely holiday here. Thank you Isabelle!

La Retraite - your happy place!

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviews3 months ago

We loved our stay at La Retraite, very comfortable & clean with plenty of storage. There’s so much to see & do in the area. We visited Yvoire & Etian. Had a lovely day at Lake Montriond and then onto the goat village at Les Lindarets. The Luge in Les Gets is fun & there’s a great pool ( indoor & outdoor) in Morzine. Would definitely recommend staying here.

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviews1 month ago

I spent five days here with my husband and two children (3&5) - what a lovely getaway! Karin's home is cozy, with a stocked kitchen & thoughtful items throughout. The children in particular LOVED the legos, car set and toys Karin provided. Wengen is well-situated to access various areas of the mountains and we loved coming back to Karin's home after a day of hiking to relax and drink wine on the patio. Thank you for a great stay, the clear communication & good directions.
