Our family of 4, including 2 teenage daughters, spent a week in Bastian's flat. His flat is huge. The living area, dining area and first sleeping area are open plan with a second bedroom next door through which access to the bathroom is made. The flat is a basement flat but still has plenty of windows some of which have views over the mountains and lake. Although it was really hot outside the flat remained cool and we slept really well during our stay. Bastian's flat is just a short walk downhill from the 201 bus stop which runs along the lake from Villeneuve to Montreux and then on to Vevey - this was ideal for our sightseeing. The bus was free on the Riviera Card which Bastian kindly organised for us so it was ready on our arrival. We strongly recommend getting one of these as they offer free, unlimited local bus and train travel as well as 50% off many local attractions and at 50chF for all four of us it was an absolute bargain and saved us a fortune. We really liked the small town of Villeneuve - there's a good tourist info by the station and a Co-op, a beautiful lakeside (where we hired paddle boards and pedalos) and an outdoor swimming pool. We did a great hike in the Villeneuve nature reserve "Les Grangettes" from a bird hide overlooking the lake, through woodland on to a beautiful sensory garden - Le Jardin Instinctif- where you can enjoy drinks made from garden produce sitting on the lake. We also swam in the lake here too. We can also recommend the lakeside "Quai Fleuri",Queen Studios and nearby Chateau de Chillon in Montreux (our girls liked the dodgem rides by the market), train trips to the Rochers de Naye from Montreux (stunning views, marmots and a pretty alpine garden) and Vevey with it absolutely amazing Charlie Chaplin house and studios. My husband really liked the little vintage train museum in Blonay (open weekends) and we hiked at les Pleiades afterwards. We also booked before we flew out a day trip on the chocolate/cheese train to Gruyeres which we all thoroughly enjoyed - it was a lot easier than organising it all ourselves. All in all we had an amazing week at Bastian's - we met his parents who were very friendly too. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars is as during the second half of our stay there was a problem with the electrical system tripping in the main living area. Bastian called an electrician but he could not visit until after our departure. Bastian did set up an extension lead to plug in a light etc. and I am sure this will now be fixed so don't let it put you off, it was just bad luck it happened and Bastian very reasonably gave us a small refund for our inconvenience which we thought was very fair.
