Our stay at La Tranquille was an amazing experience, thanks to Monika’s thoughtful touches, practical and well organized approach and well informed recommendations and local tips.
The house was just like in the pictures, a charming and super comfortable space in a small village in the hills overlooking gorgeous Lake Geneva. It was very well organized, clean, supplied with everything necessary - even games that our 9 year old daughter loved. As stated, the stairs leading to the bedroom are steep, but to us it added to the charm of the house, which dates long back - as one can see from the thick walls that keep it nice and warm.
Monika was friendly, helpful and flexible. She recommended places to see that we enjoyed very much, as well as places to eat in the area, hikes and so much more! She was very responsive and helpful with everything we needed, but also took time to listen, understand our preferences and then make recommendations that really added to the beauty of our trip.
The house is a short ride away from Montreux, La Gruyère (a big yes for cheese lovers and medieval settlements seekers) Moléson, Gstaad, Lausanne and many hiking areas and ski resorts, affording lovely day trips in many places in the area. We spent five days at La Tranquille and we did not run out of things to do in the area. The sunsets at the house are out of this world, with splendid views of Lake Geneva surrounded by misty mountains!
We highly recommend La Tranquille as a destination for your vacation in Switzerland, and we plan to be back and explore the area further. Thank you Monika and Danielle for making us feel at home and treating us like family. You made our trip not only comfortable, but also unforgettable!
