  Very sunny and bright flat, perfectly equipped, situated in central Leysin, Feydey, in the neighborhood of LAS (Leysin American School) and Kuman Leysin Academy, with an exquisite view over the “Dents du Midi”-Peaks and the Rhone Valley. We felt very good there and used it as our base for hiking in the morning and discovering new worlds in the afternoon such as Vevey, Saline de Bex (http://www.selbex.com/en.html), Évian-les-Bains or the brand new EPFL Rolex Learning Center in Lausanne (http://rolexlearningcenter.epfl.ch/). Recomanded for: Relaxation, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Rock Climbing, Skiing, Kids, Moms & Dads, Fresh Air.

  Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

  We thoroughly enjoyed the well equipped apartment and breath taking view every morning as well as the starry night skies. This was a perfect location from which to explore Leysin as well as using it as a base to explore some of the sights of Switzerland none of which were too far away from this home base. It is easy to find and the four of us who stayed there would recommend it without hesitation.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, tourists without a car.

  I came back with my family to visit Leysin after a 43-year absence, so I wanted a place to stay which would add to a happy homecoming. This apartment was it! Everything was clean and updated, the beds were comfortable, and we didn't lack for anything. There was even a fondue pot and raclette set which we made good use of. It was nice and quiet also. The view was more amazing than any of the pictures can depict, and we were blessed with good weather for most of our stay. The owner was very helpful with questions we had, and Jose, the caretaker, was the soul of helpfulness. We would be very happy to stay here again, and we hope it won't be another 43 years! The only reason I didn't rate it excellent was because the laundry commons in the basement of the complex has very strict rules about not doing laundry between 8 pm and 7 am (all the machines lock shut at 8 pm, which the signs neglect to mention), and we got stuck in a dicey situation, having to leave the following morning at 6 am. Jose tried hard to rescue us, but nothing could be done. All was well in the end, but any future renters need to be aware of this rule. Also, be aware that you need to buy special trash bags at the local Co-op to dispose of your garbage.

  Owner response: Thank you for this wonderful review. Indeed, Swiss efficiency and respect for others tranquilllity imposes strict hours for noisy machines. Point well taken we will amply warn clients to strictly observe hours. This being said, like clockwork, I believe your laundry was ready at the earliest possible hour the next day, no ? Again Swiss efficiency. I guess we are just used to everything working like clockwork and thus did not think of this detail... Thanks again and we hope to see you back soon.

  WE had a wonderful time in the apartment. Check in was super easy and the view was unbelievable. The unit is well equipped with everything you need for a successful stay in the Alps. Close to several things to do although you will want to spend the entire time on the deck staring at the view.

  Very well appointed apartment with gorgeous views down to the valley. The apartment is very comfortable with a nice, modern, well-equipped kitchen and a large balcony. Parking is right outside the entrance and there is common laundry in the building. We really enjoyed staying here and would recommend the apartment to anyone staying in Leysin.

  Owner response: Thank you for your kind words. I hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you again in the near future. Thank you for your confidence.

  We stayed in this lovely apartment two nights. The owner was most helpful, as was the caretaker, Jose. The location is a little bit of a hike from the train station but the view is worth every step. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well furnished (the grocery is only a short walk down the hill) and the floors are heated! That was a wonderful feature. The photos are very accurate as are the listing details. I would definitely recommend this property and hope we have the opportunity to return.

  We stayed in this lovely flat during four days with our 2 kids. The flat was perfectly cleaned, we had lots of space for the four of us and it was the most perfect place for a few days of skiing. Leysin is a really lovely village; we totally fell in love with it. The skiing area is just perfect! The owner is a real kind woman, she answers all the questions friendly and gives you the idea she'd like to make your stay perfect. we'll be back here for skiing next year!

  We have stayed at a number of apartments throughout Europe and this was by far the cleanest and most comfortable place we've stayed. The pictures don't do it justice...incredible views in a great little village. The owner went above and beyond in answering our questions beforehand and during our stay. We ended up skiing in Leysin and were able to get discounts because we stayed at the apartment. The kitchen was great and there is a nice grocery store nearby. The flat is on a corner, and we never once heard the neighbors. I would certainly recommend this flat to anyone.

  This was our first time staying in an overseas rental property and we were so impressed with our experience. The description of the property and amenities were right on the mark that made our stay fabulous - loved the American style kitchen. The view from our balcony was heavenly, we could have just stayed there for hours enjoying the spectacular view of the Alps, it was amazing! Everything was clean and comfortable, we really felt like this was a home away from home during our time there. Everything associated with the apartment was warm, comfortable, inviting, and self-contained with high-tech amenities such as good wireless internet service so we could stay in touch with things back home in the United States. Parking for our rental car was so convenient that made our transition between our daily trips and time in the apartment seamless. The owner was so nice, helpful, and helped make our stay an enjoyable experience. We would highly recommend anybody thinking of traveling to Switzerland to consider this beautiful gem in Leysin for a fantastic Switzerland vacation experience. The location in Switzerland is convenient to the Geneva Airport and is accessible by train with day trips to France under two hours away. For a unique comfortable Swiss Alpine experience, this Leysin apartment is a wonderful experience, we are already making plans for a repeat trip and highly advise anybody contemplating a trip to Switzerland to give this place serious consideration.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Thank you for your wonderful review. I might add that Italy is only 2 hours away along with numerous other famous Swiss ski resorts and thermal baths located only minutes away. We look forward to your next visit perhaps to discover the numerous wonderful activities the summer months offer including the Montreux Jazz Festival, only a short drive away.
