Franziska was a fantastic host! Truly a 5/5 experience for us. We had never been to Montreux before so needed help with directions and getting to her house. She was kind enough to send real time pictures of the route all the way from the station to her place.
The home was sparkling clean and spotless. It also had some good amenities - plenty of dishes, cookware, tea, coffee etc. And of course the view was spectacular! From every window of the home you were able to see those beautiful mountains. The big windows also provided lots of natural light which is nice to wake up to.
The location of the home is pretty central ( a few stairs to get up to it but then again, everywhere in Montreux has stairs). we were 5 mins from the station, 2 mins from Lake Geneva and the other local sights.
Franziska had also prepared riviera cards - these give you free access to buses and 50% off of excursions and sights, which was incredibly kind of her!
After we had left she found some jewellery of mine that I had forgotten and even offered to post them all the way back to London. Luckily we were still close by so grabbed them in time.
All in all, we had a truly peaceful and wonderful time in Montreux, made even better by staying at Franziska’s home.
Thank you so much for your warm hospitality 😊
