Family-friendly vacation rentals in Silenen

Incredible views. Highly recommend renting a scooter to make commute up and down the hill much easier. 10/10 would stay here again.

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!

I recommend this apartment loft! It has beautiful views of Lake Como from the small village of Perledo which is in the mountains above Varenna. The apartment was very clean and spacious for 2 people with lots of amenities. We used the spa and heated pool which was nice. Signing up for a time slot wasn’t a problem as there was lots of availability. I recommend renting a car to drive around unless you wait for the bus and ferry schedules. There isn’t anything within walking distance so have a means of transportation to get to Varenna (10 minutes down the mountain). We had the best time and Andrea was very helpful and informative. If we had any questions we got a quick response. 10/10 recommend!!

The rental was beautiful with an amazing view. It took 10 minutes to get to town by car. Easy drive to Varenna and Bellano. The outdoor patio was great with a large area under cover.

Super charming home with absolutely stunning views of Lake Como better seen in person. The amenities were wonderful and the hosts were so very friendly, attentive and helpful. Highly recommend staying here! Also, be sure to book any transportation ahead of time.

The Apartment was everything we needed. It is located above the families house in a beautiful area. There isn’t a view from the apartment however there is a nice outdoor seating area looking over the valley. The driveway is steep. We drove our car up it, but you wouldn’t want to if it was wet. Walking up was no problem. The house is located in a beautiful valley. Thanks!

Sonia's Airbnb is breathtaking. The view of Lake Como is even more beautiful than the photos in the listing. Sonia is a wonderful host - she provides recommendations, answered all of my questions and always made sure that we had everything we needed. I wished we had explored the lake with her on her sailboat so if you get the opportunity I would book it! The only thing I would advise future renters is that the road to Sonia's Airbnb in Brunate is VERY, VERY narrow and winds around and around. It is very easy to get lost and go down the wrong street. If you're renting car, try to get the smallest car possible - it will help you to maneuver the narrows roads. There is a funicular stop close to the house so you could walk there and take it to Como or to the top of Brunate. It is much easier to get off at the top of Brunate and walk downhill to the house. Highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway.

We had a great stay. The house is beautiful, with stunning views that made each day feel relaxing. It was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Pierre was always quick to respond and helpful. Highly recommended.

I can highly recommend staying at antonellas airbnb. It is a cozy, remote appartment with a gorgeous view and a lovely garden and terrace. The appartment has everything you need, including a small balcony and nice shared public areas like a yoga/sports room and also a sauna with a view (for a small fee). In my opinion, a car is mandatory to reach the remote airbnb, yet be aware that the driveway directly in front of the appartment is quite narrow (So if you have a bigger car, you might have to walk the last ~300m). Overall, we had a lovely stay, antonella is super nice and friendly and communication was easy. We felt welcomed from the start and are looking to come back at some point.

We had a great time staying here. The views are amazing and the cabin is very cosy, very well laid out and really well equipped for cooking as well as with games, books, maps and activities for children. We visited in early June which was a great time with lots of lovely alpine flowers. Most of the walking routes were accessible although there was still quite a bit of snow on some of the higher paths in the area. Just to point out since we didn't realise, Swiss plugs are different to those in many other European countries and so you need to bring the correct adaptors if coming from outside Switzerland. We would definitely recommend staying here.

WOW!!! What can I say, the Lake guesthouse is possibly the best Airbnb Guesthouse we have stayed in abroad. It has everything. The host Franco could not have been nicer, he is a complete gent and it was an honor to meet him. My partner and I were in Orta San Giulio to get married and we used Franco's Lake House as our resting place for a few nights. It was simply perfect. Incredibly clean, stunning area, the lake is perfect for swimming in and Franco's attention to detail is second to none. Amazing. We will definitely be back :)

We loved this apartment. The view from the balcony is wonderful - we spent hours watching all the activities and wildlife on and around the lake. The apartment was just as listed, spotless, comfortable, with everything you could need... such a great place to stay - wish we could have stayed longer!

This was my favorite place to stay on our trip! I LOVED being on the lakefront! DEFINITELY recommend!!

A great place away from all the tourist packed. Peaceful and a picturesque view of the mountains

We LOVED our stay here! The view from the balcony was definitely our favorite part but the rest of the space is so nice too! Everything was super clean, the beds were comfortable and it was so peaceful! We also were able to walk everywhere which was so nice! Franz was so kind and such a good communicator we would absolutely recommend staying here to everyone ☺️

The Airbnb is very clean, had everything we need to self cook (pots, utensils, pan, microwave, oven, fridge etc). There are 2 dining areas - you can choose to eat inside or outside in the terrace with superb view overlooking eiger and a huge terrace. The sofa is so comfy, and you can watch YouTube too! We felt right at home. It’s a very good space for 2 persons. Location: 5 min walk from grindelwald terminal (where you can take grandola to Jungfraujoch early before the crowd comes)

We were very warmly welcomed by Silvia. Check-in went very smoothly. We felt very comfortable in the apartment and enjoyed spending time there. Silvia gave us great tips for the area. The absolute highlight is the balcony and the pool. We will be happy to come back!

We had an all-around pleasant stay! Communication with the host was excellent – fast, friendly and solution-oriented. We would like to emphasize how accommodating he was: a suitable solution was found immediately for every small concern. The location of the apartment is also ideal. It is very well connected to public transport, so you can easily arrive without a car and explore the surroundings. Overall, absolutely recommended!

Best way to describe this location is STUNNING! The views are breath taking - more beautiful in person than the photos! We loved our stay - hard to beat having morning coffee & evening wine surrounded by such beauty! The night view when the lights appear is as beautiful as the day view! A car was necessary but well worth it. David was a very responsive and helpful host & we would definitely stay again if we have that opportunity!

We immensely enjoyed staying in this apartment! It was in a great location downtown and right across from the lake. The apartment was spacious and comfortable, with the highlight being a rotunda with a fantastic view of the lake and mountains. Outside the apartment is a large terrace which also had great views. Another bonus is the affiliation with the hotel, which provided breakfast, pool and the Ticino Ticket (travel and discounts within Ticino). I can't recommend this apartment highly enough!

The accommodation is simply unique! The view with the pool is really gigantic! The place was a dream, we will be back! Everything was as described and in the photos. A super large and modern bathroom.

Amazing host and a breathtaking view. Too bad we couldn't use the pool due to cold windy weather but had an amazing time with family and kids. with only 10 min drive to local attractions and ferry. I would highly recommend this Michele and his property.

Really attractive home with a great pool and pleasant garden, just out of town definitely need a car to explore the local area, which we did. Enjoyed the restaurants in Laveno. Monica is a great host and lovely and friendly. Highly recommended!

Jacqueline and Rolf were very friendly and helpful and I felt very comfortable in the circus wagon. It is a great place to relax and unwind and the highlight is of course the sauna and the biopool. With the bike, I was able to make great excursions in the area or to Lake Constance. Would recommend right away.
