A decent stay in a beautiful rural setting, but there were several comfort and convenience issues we wish had been clear
Overall, the apartment was decent and we were able to make it work for our stay. The property has a very rural, mountain setting, and having a dehumidifier available was helpful since the apartment became quite damp during our stay.
There were several things we wish we had known before booking. The property is located quite far up the mountainside, with portions of the road becoming very narrow and only wide enough for one vehicle at a time. It also ended up being about two hours from the activities we originally planned, so I would definitely recommend checking travel times carefully before booking.
There are cows around the property wearing cowbells, which we were not aware of until we arrived. At first it was charming, but the cows move around throughout the night and the bells can be heard very clearly from inside the apartment. After several nights, it became difficult and somewhat annoying when trying to sleep.
The sleeping arrangements could also be explained more clearly. There is one regular bed and the second bed is a futon. We had to figure out ourselves how to lower the futon into a bed and were initially worried about damaging it. Once flat, you can feel the buttons in the futon while sleeping, and they occasionally caught on clothing or bedding when turning over.
The bathroom is extremely small. The toilet is directly beside the shower, which makes it difficult to open the shower door far enough to get in and out comfortably. There is really only enough room for one person at a time.
The apartment also felt very damp and had a noticeable musty smell. We had to run the provided dehumidifier to make the room more comfortable. The bathroom light and the light over the kitchen sink are connected to the same switch, so the kitchen light has to be on whenever the bathroom light is being used.
The kitchen area is also very limited and is not really set up for cooking. The microwave did not work during our stay, which meant we could not even prepare microwaveable meals. There were coffee filters provided, but we could not find a coffee machine to actually use them with.

A good place for a short getaway.
Good points:
- Beautiful scenario all around it, a small village with lots of trails and places to explore for nature lovers.
- Peaceful place for a getaway.
- Friendly neighbours.
- The owners have listened to past criticism about this place and have bettered it, such as painting the place to prevent humidity/ mold and cleaning it more thoroughly.
- They give a big range of utensils for the kitchen, 3 tea bags, coffee and a bit of cereal.
- The shower is amazing, very warm and with great water pressure. They also made available some shower products, although they had been used before, and some towells.
- It´s very organised and neat.
- There is a heating white board next to the door, which can warm the place pretty well.
Bad points:
- The bed is awful. It s very uncomfortable and noisy, just moving around it makes a ton of noise and my back hurt after sleeping there. My boyfriend had to crack his as well, during the night. The sheets are okay, but could be bettered, as they aren´t that soft and seem a bit old.
- In the ad they say that our only neighbours will be the cows, but that isn´t true. This place is basically the basement turned into a small apartment of the house of the owners, so we can hear them walk on top, move furniture, etc, and they can probably hear us as well, which makes the notion of privacy a bit non-existent.
- I believe a small cooking area could be added inside, instead of just a microwave, a mini fridge and a sink. Why? Because the closest supermarket is kms away and if we want to stay longer than 2 days, microwaved food becomes unhealthy.
- When we arrived to the place there were so many flies inside it was crazy. Now bear in mind that it is next to a cow farm, so flies are normal, but they could have been more careful for it not to be the first impression we got. Me and my boyfriend spent a couple of minutes killing them with slippers and then it was perfect. After that we were simply careful when opening the door. Outside, however, it became almost impossible for us to sit at the lovely chairs, without being swarmed by them. We also noticed some mice crawling around, but, again, it s outside.
- One of the sockets next to the tea kettle didn´t work.
- We had to leave a day earlier than what we had booked and cleaned the place as much as we could, texted them about the situation and got no answer, :/.
- The WiFi is not very strong.
- Be careful when booking this place, as there is no public transport around, it s quite literally in the middle of nowhere and you need to be in good shape to walk to the closest village.

It was ok for the price of stays in Switzerland but you decide for yourselves… your experience might be different!
The apartment is self contained… owner had adequate dishes and utensils, that you could prepare your own food.
The property is very difficult to find and not marked at all. I sign at the entrance to the property off the main road would make the task much easier.
We also had a serious problem with flies. The moment we turned the heat on, flies literally came out of the woodwork. Owner should make some effort to get rid of them before renters show up. It was mid October and these pests are trying to find a place for the winter. Not sure if you’d have this experience earlier in the year. Can only speak for ourselves! Oh and I should mention at 3 meters tall your head will hit the beam just in off to the right of the entrance way.
