Amazing chalet! Definitely want to go back!

We have never seen such a charismatic chalet that was that well equipped and was incredibly clean. The structure of the chalet is a bit surprising (you have to go outside to access the bedrooms), but it ended up working for us and we had the best few days there. You can tell that the hosts put a lot of care and attention in upkeeping this chalet and try to make it as convenient as possible for all guests. Love love love it!

Lovely farmhouse

We really enjoyed our stay in this authentic farmhouse. The decorations and woodwork were amazing. Comfortable beds and, despite being an older home, all the modern conveniences. The location is in a beautiful community and we loved our walks through the town. A bit of a language barrier for us with the gentleman living there (we, unfortunately, do not speak French or German), however, there was prompt and excellent communication with the owner. Took a day trip to Mt Blanc and another day trip into Montreux. Highly recommend this as a place to explore in this area of Switzerland.

Wonderful Area for Vacation!

Accessible to many sites, but you'll need a vehicle, if you want flexibility. Bus schedule to/from town is limited. During our stay we visited Montreux, Chateau Chillon, Berne, Martigny, Lac D'Emosson and Geneva on day trips. (Glacier 3000 as well, but wouldn't recommend that one...there are way better ways to view a glacier!). Chalet was very traditional and pretty comfortable, but would've been a little small for our group of 7 if we had long periods of rain. Doorways are for short people! Olivier and Norbert were fantastic with responding to questions and checking in to see all was going well.

About the host

Hosted by Olivier Nicolas

A historian and art historian, we love to travel to beautiful houses and enjoy entertaining in this mountain family home. We look forward to sharing it with you.

Why they chose this property

The family home, listed as Swiss cultural heritage, dates back to 1714. That's 300 years this year! The house is nestled in a wonderful nature reserve. The wild animals come to the garden to graze (deer, stags, foxes, and chamois)

What makes this property unique

A postcard from Switzerland offers a natural reserve and wild animals (chamois, foxes, stags, deer, etc.) It is a few minutes from the ski runs and the main thermal spas in French-speaking Switzerland.
