Zermatt vacation rentals

We stayed at this beautiful chalet for a week with young friends and their new baby. We thought it was perfect. The chalet is located above Zermatt with an unbelievable view of the Matterhorn. From the balconies we could hear the goats moving across the valley floor-a lovely tinkling of bells-and the chiming of church bells. The fact that cars are not permitted in Zermatt meant that the chalet felt as if we were in a very remote place. In fact a short walk downhill to the elevator opposite Cervo Hotel put us into Zermatt with only a short walk to restaurants and shopping and trains. The location was perfect and so was the house. We found it fully equipped (there was even a crib) and so much attention was given to the comfort of guests that the only thing we could find missing was a night light in the bathrooms. That was it! The beds were comfortable, the linens were nice, and the kitchen had everything. We only used the cedar hot tub a couple of times but wish we had used it more. We went off adventuring every day but came back to the chalet wondering why we had ever left. The view and the house were THAT good!! Tips for anyone lucky enough to come here: Be sure to stock up on groceries at the Coop across from the train station before hiring an electric taxi to carry you, luggage, food, and drink up to the chalet. Trips for small things are easily made using the elevator. Also be sure to stop at Cervo for a drink on the terrace. This is a fashionable place with a welcoming staff. Last tip: Be sure to not stop for a snack at Tufternalp in a meadow above the house though I do recommend reading the reviews on Trip Advisor for amusement. One reviewer said they stopped there is see if the staff were as bad as all that. The answer is yes! Go to Cervo instead or back to the chalet.
