  : LOCALIZATION

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : The location was good with a nice view of the Rhone valley and the mountains. The place was quiet, kitchen facilities were good overall.
  : Cleanliness could be improved a lot: the protection covers for the mattresses were stained, as were the duvets. The bedspreads given to us at the reception did not fit, so that we had to improvise for two nights until the reception was open again. At least they were cooperative when we stated the problem. Also, the information received before arrival was misleading, even though they telephoned us beforehand: We received repeated emails about the payment being due (even after we had actually paid), but the important information where to find the reception was hidden at the bottom.

  : The view from the house was amazing, and the balcony was great for grilling or chilling. The selection of household appliances such as microwave, oven, toaster and etc. were pretty good for a small group of five people so it was pleasant to cook and prepare meals at home.The hosts were also easy to reach and super friendly. Meanwhile, there were enough brochures and pamphlets which would give you the information you need and would answer your questions.We didnt go for skiing, but if you plan to ski, there is a ski resort with access of cable cars, right from the place where the house is located, so it makes it pretty convenient.
  : The house was not super clean, although it was in a good condition. The bed linens and towels were also not available, and you had to rent them for 25 CHF.There were not enough sofa if you were six people, so you had to use the kitchen chairs instead of sofa.Toilet paper, taxed trash bags, dish washer tablets and hand soap were not enough for one week stay of five people and we had to buy them.Most importantly, the sockets are thinner than the usual ones, so some of our electric appliances like hair dryer and phone charges did not fit in and we couldnt use them.
