Your apartment with one room for 2 people
We stayed at Malonda’s place for 3 nights. She was a great host. We arrived there from Australia after a long long flight and she prepared vegetarian noodle pasta for us and prepared a welcome package on arrival. The place is small & cosy, good for a family of 2 or 3. The place is 10-15 mins away from the airport. The apartment is 2-3 levels below the ground/parking space and you need to use the steep stairs to get in the apartment. Something to consider if you have lots of luggage or having difficulty walking. Overall our stay was really good. Thank you Malonda.

Historical Chalet Gryon-Les Plans
A lovely chalet in a lovely setting!

Beautiful Room with quiet garden area
The location is really great, with beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was comfortable and well-maintained, and having a parking space was a huge plus. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Cozy and with a stunning view Apt.
It was everything we were hoping for and more. The chalet itself is is in a wonderful location, walking distance to the bus stop and train and it had absolutely gorgeous views from every single room. We slept and showered very comfortably and the kitchen was well stocked with what we needed too. To top it off, the host was the BEST host we have ever had with an airB &B. So incredibly friendly, helpful, and a joy to chat with. We definitely hope to be back one day!!

Beautiful castle with modern app.
Family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young kids between 4 & 5). We enjoyed our time and spent most of the day out and only returned to have dinner and sleep. We BBQ both evenings and the couple were kind to help out and offered charcoal and lighter. The kitchen had the basic, not extravagant and we managed through. House was interesting and we definitely enjoyed the quirks of the house.

Villa Allegra Studio - Bohemian chic in Zurich
We spent 3 days in the apartment and it was a good decision. The neighborhood is amazing and it is only 10 minutes by tram from the city center or from the lake. Dayana was very accesible and gave us local recommendations. We would recommend it!

Charming Vacation Rental
Want to take a break and literally go green? This is the perfect place 😉 Silvia & Tina offer a great apartment that matches the photos. A real little nest. In addition, they leave tasty surprises in the kitchen, thank you very much. My stay was pleasant, peaceful and rejuvenating. Looking forward to coming back Thank you for everything Silvia & Lisa

♡ Rustic Lodge Getaway ♡ | Mountain Views, BBQ,Pkg
A wonderful, rustic home in the midst of mountains, streams. Sitting in the evening on bedroom balcony was a lovely experience. The washing machine & dryer were very much appreciated!
Villas in Switzerland

Beautiful villa at the entrance to the Alps.
Had a great short stay at Sebastian's home. Thanks to the charging station, we were able to charge the car at night. Great communication with Sebastian

Panoramic APT in the vineyard & breathtaking view
We had a wonderful stay in the apartment and really felt in love with the place. The terrace is very inviting, we spent many hours there, enjoying sunshine, coffee, good wine and cheese fondue. The mattresses are of good quality, ensuring good night rest. The host is very kind and has many good tips what can be done in the area and responds quickly to questions and makes sure your privacy is guaranteed. With the guest card you have free public transportation in the area and discount on boat trips and other activities in the neighborhood. Handy if you want to visit for instance Montreux or Évian-les-Bains. We spent many hours walking the area, the trails through the vineyards are spectacular. Sunset at the viewpoint below is unforgettable. When we ever revisit this part of Switzerland, this apartment will be top of the list.

Pool Villa Savognin
Lovely house with lots of room and privacy in a gorgeous valley. Irena is extremely helpful and responsive.

Wild Valley Ticino Villa in Valle Onsernone
Beautiful surroundings, post bus right at your doorstep. (This is how you can leave the car.) Large house, fully equipped with everything you need! Scorpions can be expected:-) very nice, large outdoor area. Mike was super friendly, will get back to you right away. Absolutely uncomplicated handover. We have enjoyed our holidays!

Lakeview Little Villa
Very satisfied with our two day stay. The house is clean and hygienic, the view is unbeatable, the location is relatively easy to find, and the host responds promptly. The only flaw is that it's been cloudy for the past two days, but the view is beautiful

Large 250 year old farmhouse newly renovated
We really enjoyed our vacation in the stylishly renovated farmhouse! The views and the surroundings with the rig chicken in front of the door are absolutely fantastic. For our larger family/holiday group, the cozy and nicely furnished holiday home was ideal. The terrace with evening sun and hotpot was particularly beautiful. In the morning / noon we had sun on the other seat on the other side of the house. Host Yvonne was very helpful, accommodating, and quick to respond to questions and concerns.

Semi-detached villa near the baths - Villa B4
We had a wonderful stay at Dylan’s Airbnb in Saillon! From the very beginning, Dylan was incredibly attentive and accommodating to our special needs, ensuring that our family of four (toddler and a service dog included 🤣) felt comfortable and welcome. The home itself is beautiful, with stunning views of the mountains from both the terrace and balcony. The location is perfect—just a short distance from a picturesque waterfall and the relaxing hot springs. The town of Saillon is truly charming, with vineyards stretching in every direction and plenty of local cavas where you can enjoy delicious food and wine. The house has multiple stairs, so keep that in mind if mobility is a concern, but for us, it was a perfect retreat. The peaceful nights, breathtaking scenery, and Dylan’s warm hospitality made this a truly unforgettable family vacation. We highly recommend staying here and would love to return!

VILLA PLANCHETTE: LUXURY retreat in ART and NATURE
Beautiful place and great host, highly recommend
Cabins in Switzerland

Da Gionni farmhouse, Cavagnago
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It has a wonderful view and is slightly outside the town. The home is spacious and comfortable for the four of is, but it will probably be quite crowded with more. Thanks for having us!

Berglodge Beverin with unique views
Our stay at the Airbnb in Mathon was simply fantastic! The property is idyllically located in the mountains and offers breathtaking views – perfect for relaxing and unwinding. A special highlight was the hike to Libi, a beautiful mountain lake about 30 minutes away. The nature, the tranquility and the fresh mountain air were simply magnificent. However, the lake is still a little too cold in May. In the evening we enjoyed a cozy fondue together – a real experience! The perfect end to the day was then in the self-heated hotpot under the stars – an absolute feel-good moment that we will not soon forget. Thank you so much for this wonderful time – I'm sure we'll be back!

Maiensäss am Stafel
Beautiful Mayan location in a fantastic location. Quietly located with views of the meadows and mountains. Silvia was very accommodating and always helpful. We will be happy to come back.

Cozy cabin with private Finnish sauna
Very cosy and tiny place and quite unusual with a sauna inside... my partner really enjoyed his birthday surprise!

Log cabin above Ebnat-Kappel
The hostess is very friendly and uncomplicated. A beautiful place to relax and enjoy the fantastic view.

Breithorn vacation home in the Valley of Waterfalls
Heidi was very welcoming. The location was fantastic. Beautiful views just outside the accommodation. Even though the accommodation was outside of Lauterbrunnen itself, the township is within an easy walking distance. There is also a bus stop just down the road. We wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you Heidi.

The Abraca of Arbaz, the magic of the bisse
You just feel comfortable upon arrival! It had everything you need in the cabin. The location is perfect for many hikes, great restaurant nearby, comfortable bed, great oven and terrace and the kitchen was well equipped. Only if you value privacy should you avoid the vacation season. On average, people walked past the house every 10 minutes from morning to evening. And since a bent large branch lay on the hiking trail, people even ran across the terrace while I was on it. I was already missing privacy!!

Typical Leventina CHALET in a corner of paradise
My wife and I very much enjoyed our time at Sara’s beautiful chalet. It is so peaceful and serene and was a great escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The chalet is tastefully decorated and complete with everything you could need. The grounds are beautiful with flowers and landscaping and a view that cannot be beat. The drive up to the chalet is certainly steep with many switchbacks. I didn’t mind driving it but if you are not a fan of tight mountain roads you may not enjoy the drive. For us, the drive was not a big deal and the chalet was worth every bit of the 20 minute mountain road. Sara was a great host who provided many recommendations for things to do in the Ticino area. We had a fantastic time here and would highly recommend.
Your guide to Switzerland
Welcome to Switzerland
There’s a version of Switzerland many know from storybooks: soaring alps covered in pristine snow, picturesque villages nestled among green pastures dotted with wildflowers, and peaked castles reflected in expansive lakes. You can find that wonderland here — alongside hardy skiers, pots of warm fondue, and packets of sweet milk chocolate — but Switzerland has a thrillingly urbane side, too. Medieval and modern architecture mingle in chic metropolitan centers Zurich, Geneva, and Basel, which pulse with cutting-edge culture and nightlife. Ringed by Germany, France, and Italy, Switzerland exudes a truly international culture, and ritzy après-ski scenes and opulent lakeside resort towns rival any European locale for sheer luxury. Yet it remains tough to compete with the natural allure of the country, whose landscape boasts glaciers, mighty rivers, more than 1,000 lakes, and pastoral plateaus.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Switzerland
Deciding when to go to Switzerland depends on how you want to optimize your trip. Spring is verdant and summer is warm and sunny. Temperatures are cool in the fall during harvest season, and in winter it’s brisk and snow falls in the mountains. Winter, of course, is the ideal time for snow sports and coziness. The country doesn’t experience extreme weather, and a suitcase packed with layers will see you through most seasons. Switzerland is host to world-class events year round, including the Ski World Cup in Wengen in January; the Lucerne Festival, a massive celebration of classical music that takes place in Lucerne every August and September; and the legendary Art Basel, which alights in the eponymous city in September, showcasing thousands of artworks from around the world.
Top things to do in Switzerland
Zurich
Cosmopolitan Zurich is Switzerland’s largest and perhaps most fascinating city. Renowned for its hip atmosphere, it’s also an eminently liveable place with a free bike-sharing program. Spend your days among the significant art collections of the Kunsthaus and the Rietberg museums and your nights at Zürich-West, a former industrial hub reimagined as a nexus of nightlife and culture.
Schloss Chillon
A trip to stunning Lake Geneva isn’t complete without a visit to this elegant fortress. Get a sense of Switzerland’s medieval past at this 25-building castle from which royals once gazed down upon their kingdom. Guided tours will take you past 14th-century wall paintings and into subterranean chambers. Nighttime events allow visitors to explore the compound until midnight.
Take a train trip
One of the prettiest and most relaxing ways to cover a lot of ground in Switzerland is by rail. Hop aboard the Glacier Express to swoosh through wintry Alpine landscapes featuring staggering peaks and glacial lakes. The Bernina Express threads through varied landscapes and picturesque towns and features open-air cars in the summer.
