Villas in Switzerland

Beautiful villa at the entrance to the Alps.
Very pleasant stay, the house is very nice, the host communicates very promptly!

Panoramic APT in the vineyard & breathtaking view
We had a wonderful week at Queein's. The apartment corresponds 100% to the photos. The view from the terrace is simply magnificent. We loved eating on the terrace or just having a coffee or wine. The location is also fantastic for exploring Lake Geneva. Montreux, Vevey and Lausanne are very close. We will definitely come back, dear Queein leave everything as it is, it is just perfect👌🏻.

Pool Villa Savognin
We were able to enjoy a nice and unforgettable weekend among friends. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped, the apartment is large and it really has everything it needs! Thank you :)

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!

House in Avegno with 1,500 sqm of garden
Maria is a super host! We were made to feel welcome. Also when we got unlucky with our car she helped us great. We had a great time! Which is what matters! Maria thank you for letting us rent your home! Greetings also to your husband and you 2 fantastic cats Lu and Pa! See you soon! Frits, Gijs and Kiki

Villa in the heart of Basel with free BaselCard
Great location. Cool old house with character and great yard. Could use a furnishing upgrade to elevate the experience, but was functional.

Large 250 year old farmhouse newly renovated
The house is in an excellent location and has been gently and very tastefully renovated. The hosts were extremely accommodating and friendly. How to come back for sure!

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!
Houses in Switzerland

Casa Müsu, a charming rustic home in Val Verzasca
A very lovely home and Enrico is a consummate host. Pictures don’t do this cozy spot justice. We really enjoyed our time here. The old wood stove offers a delightful aroma that fills the whole place and the village feels like stepping back in time. Kitchen was exceptionally well stocked. Our host helped us test the wifi speed in advance for our remote work trip and graciously left us a bottle of wine. The stairs are steep and not kid-friendly. We found them a bit tricky and you do have to traverse them like ladders to use the toilet. While reading reviews, we noticed comments about black mould in the shower and do encourage the host to take care of this. It doesn’t appear to be anything that some bleach and elbow grease can’t fix and there is a window in the shower, so it is well ventilation. We also note that the mattress upstairs is nice and firm, but sags in the middle, which was fine for our length of stay. We enjoyed our time and hope to be back again soon!

Big house for 10 people
We had a great time at this place. The space is really generous, with spacious, clean and well-appointed rooms, ideal for hosting a group of people. The location is also very convenient, there are parking spaces available right next door, which is a real asset, especially if you are by car. The host is super friendly and responsive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. I would 100% recommend!

The Lake View! Large house on Lake Lucerne
We read the previous reviews, saw the photos and chose Stephen’s house. Firstly the accommodation is a really good size. We had 4 adults using 3 b/rooms and there was plenty of space. It was really clean, tidy and we felt really at home. There was everything we needed, plus a supermarket round the corner and bar /restaurant were walking distance. 10/10👍The photos however don’t do justice to the wonderful views! Loved just looking over the lake to the snow capped mountains. Sitting outside was so tranquil. 10/10 because I can’t give 11/10 😁Excellent location for Rigi, Vitznau, Lucerne, Weggis, Stoos, Pilatus, Zug, all worth seeing. Rigi railway / Pilatus cable cars to the summit were our fave’s 10/10 🚠 We’d have stayed longer!🙁Stephen our host was great too. Excellent helpful information sent to us on arrival day. Were lucky enough to see him and got really helpful sightseeing advice. Communications were timely and helpful throughout our stay. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Updated Sunny Chalet in Andiast : Hiking & Skiing
It was now our third ski trip that we spent with Claudius. Everything was fine again. We liked it very much again! We would come back any time and can recommend Claudius's place with a clear conscience. Claudius's house is also ideal for holidays outside the winter season. You are in the middle of a hiking and biking area or you can just enjoy the seclusion. GREAT THING!

Wonderful twin house with parking
We had a wonderful stay with the family, in this beautiful home, well heated during this Christmas period and comfortable.

Attica apartment on Lake Maggiore
Very nice and cozy apartment above a beautiful alpine lake. We quickly felt like home. Having dinner with a stunning view across the lake was really great. Thanks a lot!

The Friends of Tropez are looking forward to seeing you...
We were very satisfied with everything from A to Z

Antique vacation home
Although the old house is very simply furnished, it is extremely cozy and rustic there. We were received in a very friendly manner by Beatrice, she brought our luggage into the house and explained to us exactly how to fire up the hot pot. The house itself is large, spacious and very clean. If you like it authentic and cozy, it's great here :-)
Apartments in Switzerland

Apartment for 2-3 people
The apartment is super beautiful and conveniently furnished for 4 people and the location is brilliant. Walking 5 minutes to Coop, 10' to cross-country ski trail (ski room available), 1' to bus station and wonderful restaurant Central from host Dino. We would book the apartment again at any time:)!

Vintage apartment well located and equipped
Sandra is a great host, she is always responsive and very helpful. Apartment is very conveniently located near the train station and tram connection. There are restaurants and cafes in the proximity. Park La Grange is nearby in a walking distance. The apartment is very well equipped and has little welcoming details that we much appreciated. Apartment is on the 2nd floor of a historical building. It might be difficult to access for people with lower mobility as there is no elevator in the building.

Beautiful apartment (studio) Haute-Nendaz
Very nice studio, well-equipped and very conveniently located next to the ski lifts. Easy to reach and flexible host

Sunny plant apartment in Zurich

Casa Miragiove
Very pleasant stay despite the bad weather, apartment that matches the description and very clean, perfect hosting, thanks again to Eva it was perfect

Lovely apartment in old town
The place is in the heart of the old town Basel. Many beautiful shops, bakeries and restaurants are next to the building. Interior is simple and stylish. It is clean and the building is quiet. It made us feel at hone right away! The hosts are super responsive and even prepared Easter chocolate for the kid.

Apartment Villars Sur Ollon
Jonathan was super flexible and helpful. Flat is really well laid out for a family or friends sharing. The location is superb. Really a terrific find and good value.

Apartment in luxury chalet
A quiet, well appointed and cozy apartment in a quiet location. You can walk to the bus, the village or the cable cars in a few minutes. Check-in and checkout is very straightforward, questions are responded to quickly and kindly. Thank you for having us, we felt very comfortable.
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.
