Modern Wengen Studio • Ski-in, Ski-out • Terrace

PeterRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Annette & Luke were excellent hosts. They answered questions within a short time. The studio is optimal, located right on the ski slope and very quiet at night. The amenities are very good especially the kitchen. There was nothing missing. We will be very happy to spend our next winter holidays in Wengen again in Luise.

Sonnenhof Juliet - design-led Swiss luxury

SusanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Not knowing Saas-Fee at all, this place exceeded our expectations. The place was very central and close to shops and restaurants. It was also walking distance to the slopes. We rarely took the public transport to get to the slopes. When we did, it was because the kids wanted to ride the red train wagon. The best part about the apartment is the kitchen. It is complete. I felt like I was in my own kitchen and every utensil or equipment I needed was available. We had breakfast at home everyday and made dinner almost every night. The host is very responsive and always available to answer questions. I would highly recommend Sonnenhof Juliet for families with kids.

Nice chalet for 2 ideally located

AxelRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

One of the most magical Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in. The chalet is nestled right at the base of the mountains—stepping outside to views of glaciers and peaks was absolutely breathtaking. It’s cozy and best suited for a couple, which was perfect for us. About a 10-minute walk from downtown Chamonix, with a bit of an uphill on the way back—but honestly, the walk is beautiful and a great leg stretch. Valerie and Nicholas were wonderful—so kind, flexible, and communicative. We’d absolutely love to stay here again!

4.5 Zi. Maisonette apartment with mountain views

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 77 reviews6 months ago

There were six of us in Toni and Esther's apartment: 3 women with 3 children. The size and layout of the apartment were, in addition to the location of course, crucial for us to book, because here we had enough space to get out of each other's way. We had deliberately chosen Kandersteg because it is close to Oeschinensee, Blausee and Sunnbüel. Everything you needed was there. We didn't miss anything. Balconies with mountain views were great. The contact was also extremely friendly. We would book this apartment again. Thanks again!

Fantastic apartment, really comfortable, great quality, beautiful underfloor heating making it nice and warm, and well equipped especially the kitchen if you want to dine in. We were a group of me + my 3 x daughters in town for skiing. 4 great bedrooms, warm, clean, nice bedding, well equipped kitchen and a fantastic location. 10 mins walk to town centre, a bakery and pizza restaurant right next door, and <5 mins walk to the Bettex bubble lift to get up the hill for skiing. Jan was super helpful and responsive to all contact and couldn't have done any more. Glad we chose it and would definitely stay there again on a return trip to St Gervais.

Modern Chalet 80m2 apartment great location

4.82 out of 5 average rating, 131 reviews4 months ago

Great apartment, had mostly everything we needed. The washing machine and dryer was a blessing as we got wet afew times. Was as in the photos, all the hosts were quick to reply and helpful. Was nice having a bedroom upstairs as our son whos 19 had his own private space. The balcony had amazing views across the snowy mountains and the location was peaceful. Didn't have any neighbour noise which was nice. The only thing that would of made this 100% would have been a microwave - after a long day a quick hot meal would have been good rather than use the cooker. Would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants a easy hassle free place to stay. Thanks guys ☺️

My partner and I were lucky enough to be able to enjoy Alison's place on a spontaneous weekend in the Alps. The place is super cozy, it feels right at home. Perfect for spending a few days in the mountains for skiing, hiking, etc. Very responsive to the message sent, Alison took our reservation into account very quickly. It was easy and friendly while being fast and efficient. Thank you for this sporty and relaxing weekend. We'll be back for sure. (-:

We had an unforgettable stay in this self-contained house, where you feel good, whateveryou do. Beautiful views from all sides, an Olympian calm, the possibility of sourcing vegetables from the vegetable farm that Hugo and Chloé manage 2 steps away, in short, a small paradise overlooking Lake Leman. We'll definitely stay there again

VILLA DU PARC; Beautiful apartment, amazing views!

LynnRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Well appointed and modern apartment, quiet in the evenings and beds extremely comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen and utensils. A short steep walk into town, or a longer easier route if necessary. 4m drive to the ski lift, we found parking every day. I’d recommend booking a ski locker in advance of a trip as they were all booked out over school holidays, so we had to keep skis in our car.

The Hood Attic

FaithRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We found the house fairly easily. Sandrine was accommodating after we arrived late due to Eurotunnel delays the day before. The house was lighter and brighter than in the photos and was very prettily decorated with lovely Alpine things- even Christmas decorations which was lovely. It was all very clean, tidy, modern and warm. I had possibly misread the room descriptions because the third bedroom is an alcove in the upstairs hall and not a bedroom with a door. My teen daughter was upset and then had an argument with her brother about who had the room with the door but as he is too tall for the junior bunk bed she ended up with it and it was fine. We very much enjoyed our stay. There is a fondue dish and a raclette set which was great. We were worried about being snowed in but the snowplough was out at 5.30am. The house is near a main road so there was a very small amount of road noise. Sandrine and Yann are friendly and helpful - thank you very much.

Cozy 1 Bedroom Apartment with Stunning Views

DavidRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The apartment is very nice and well appointed. The views are superb and the area very quiet. Proximity to the train halt at Moussoux makes life much easier for skiing and the walk to the town centre very pleasant taking around 12 minutes but only about 5 minutes to the excellent Indian restaurant and our favourite wine bar. Everything was as advertised and any minor issues were rapidly resolved. We would recommend this accommodation.
