Just to say our stay with Anne and Slim was amazing would be an injustice to our attentive hosts and the accommodation they kindly offered us. From taking the 6 minute cog train journey from Platform 8, Montreux, to the stop Toveyre, turning left 50 yards up the road to be met by Slim who was waiting to take us down the path to their house. Walking round the side to be met by a stunning view from a well laid out balcony with a breakfast bar style table on one side to a round table and chairs at the other end. Plenty of shade by using well positioned parasols. At one end is the large bedroom with a well equipped en suite bathroom. Windows have electric shutters, which open up to a breathtaking panoramic view and you are not overlooked (I’m missing this so bad ) in the bedroom you also have a television, which we never used. I found the bed very comfy especially with it being an electric positional bed which lets you rise up to enjoy the view through the windows. At the opposite end of your long balcony is the double glazed ‘refreshments’ room which has dining table and chairs, a fridge, coffee machine and even a large built in pizza oven. It made eating your excellent breakfast a treat looking over the lake to the mountains. Anne is an excellent cook and the earlier reviews certainly agree with me on that. We had a beautiful seafood linguine as part of the three course meal accompanied with an equally matched wine. It was a perfect wind down to the hectic and packed day, saving us the gamble of the restaurants in Montreux. On our second evening Ann prepared an authentic Swiss Fondue,we had have never had one, so it was the perfect opportunity in a setting which would have cost a lot to match this location. Anne and Slim set it up, gave us helpful tips and yes provided another wine to accompany the meal.
Anne and Slim have set the bar very high and are the hosts we would like at every Airbnb we stay in future.
They offer advice on the area from walks to tourists spots to best order for your itinerary on that day. Slim even drove us down early, 0600, to the Montreux Train Station to catch the train back to Geneva airport. I asked for a taxi but he was having non of it. Every thing you asked the response was always positive and Slim was for ever saying “No Problem” ha ha.
It was a hard thing to leave this amazing short stay holiday (wish I had planned longer) and Anne and Slim should be so proud of what they have set up provided for the guests.
A very big THANK YOU to you both Anne and Slim. We hope to return to your beautiful ‘chill out from the hustle and bustle of the town’ house.
