Perfect Alternative for Summer Hols

Date of Stay: August 2009
I had never considered the Alps in Summer for a holiday, but this apartment (and Switzerland) was just what we needed after a hectic year. Every morning I woke up first, got the coffee going and sat on the balcony to watch the sun rise over the mountains.
The property is in a perfect location: a few minutes walk from the baths, a supermarket, restaurants and a wonderful cake shop. We drove to Switzerland fully expecting to tour the area, but in fact our car never left the secure car park for the duration of our stay. We found so much to do and not just walking and visiting the baths. Our 15 year old son persuaded us to hire giant scooters from the Torrent Bahnen and ride them down the mountain into Leukerbad. It was the most fun I've had for ages!
The apartment is exceptionally well maintained and equipped. Most evenings we ate out, but my husband practiced his culinary skills a couple of times and found the kitchen had everything he needed. The beds are really comfortable and the shower powerful, (necessary for relieving muscles after the scooter ride). Daytime temperatures were very warm but nights were cooler, so the underfloor heating was welcome. Instructions on how to use the washing/drying facilities were invaluable; in fact all information provided by the owners is clear and concise.
I will definitely go back to this apartment and have already recommended it to friends.
