“Alphaven far exceeded any expectations we may have had. We arrived to a perfect night view of Engelberg and awoke to an even more breathtaking view of the town bathed in sunshine.The Skiing was excellent … but there was nothing nicer than returning to the beautiful apartment to relax for the evening. The apartment was so well equipped and cosy that there was no desire to go and enjoy some “après ski” in the town. Thank you Ursula for all you provided to make our holiday such a memorable one. We are all returning to Scotland with many special memories which we shall cherish forever. With our love and best wishes.”Chris, Alison, Caitlin, and David Tiemessen SCOTLANDJohn, Wendy, Erin and Lindsay Maguire

“It’s hard to imagine a more spectacular place to Ski or a town with more open & friendly people. Thank God the tourists haven’t over-run this town yet!Alphaven is if possible, even better than we thought it would be. It is rare, but so gratifying, when all of your expectations are totally exceeded … & that is what happened here.Ursula, you are a rare & generous person and we are privileged to have met you and enjoyed your company.”Karl, Ro, Chelsea, D’Arcy, Juole & Roanne Scott AUSTRALIA

WOW, What a fantastic apartment and such a breathtaking outlook! Thank you so much for the use of your apartment. It certainly exceeded our already high expectations and made our 25th Wedding Anniversary one to remember for ever. We did several trips into the surrounding mountains and after the first couple of days tried hard to resist using the words fabulous, fantastic, unbelievable, incredible as every sentence we spoke seemed to have one of those words in it. In the end we sat quite a lot in silence and just appreciated how lucky we were. We were also lucky with the weather and had glorious sunshine for 9 out of our 10 days. All in all we had a great time and will very definitely be recommending your apartment to friends and family. We certainly hope to return ourselves one day as well. Thank you again Jenny and Derek Brigden ENGLAND

“This place was truly amazing, not just the apartment but all of it’s surroundings. It opened up a lot of views for me as well as the rest of my family. The week we stayed here was overwhelming and I’m honestly sad to leave, since being here has made me the happiest I’ve been in a long time.It’s not about the things you have in life, those don’t matter in the long run, it’s what you do that makes the difference. Thank you for everything.”Love The Tylers UNITED STATES
