Holiday Homes in Staldenried

Ideal location for our ten-day holiday focussing on Zermatt and the surrounding area. Warm welcome from the owner Anita and comprehensive tour round the apartment, in German. Just the right size with enough rooms, each of which were a good size. Well equipped kitchen of which we made full use, so not a single, very expensive, meal out. Clean and quiet. The local church bell seems to ring day and night, but at a reduced volume when dark, it seemed. Anyway, the ringing didn't bother us at all. Great view from the balcony of snow-capped 3000m peaks. An unexpected bonus was the nearby cable car station with the ride to magnificent views and higher-level walks. Yes, the drive up from the valley floor with those zig zag bends might be scary for some, but I actually found it fun. We didn't see much of Anita (or Emil), but she was there when needed and supplied us with some unexpected, but very welcome, home produce. The wine, chocolates and sweets waiting for us on the kitchen table, as mentioned in previous reviews, were a lovely touch; the wine was rather better than the replacement bottle I bought at the supermarket. A lovely place, just right for a relaxing and peaceful stay. We intend to return.

A cool location. The area and surroundings are great. You can also enjoy the privacy. No problem communicating with the host, only on the phone but it is enough. Everything was in order as a whole.

The accommodation was just perfect! Lots of space for the kids to play as well as space to relax after a long day of snow fun.

We had such an amazing time at an apartment in Grachen and decided to stay in Switzerland longer and found Residenz Edelweiss. We booked and sent the money via bank transfer. On what should have been a short few hour journey turned into a nightmare day/night because we got lost with four children. I contacted the host to let them know that we were running behind and were lost and struggling to get a taxi. I messaged on booking.com as I was struggling with my Internet connection and could not find a direct number to call. I've never had any issues using the booking.com services. Hotels/apartments/hostels usually respond. I sent a few messages and did not receive a single response. We had originally expected to arrive at 4 pm. However, it was closer to midnight. It was pitch black, we were in an area we did not know and we had no idea which apartment we were staying in. We knocked on a few doors, but nobody seemed to be able to help. The laundry door (fortunately for us) was wide open, so we we went in there to get out of the cold and dark. I had a 14, 12, 7, and 1 year old baby with me. We found a number online and called it over and over again, we emailed and messaged. We tried to order a taxi and stay elsewhere but we could not get a taxi or hotel. We had no choice but to stay in the laundry room. We did continue to call the number we found online, and eventually, somebody in Germany answered and said that they would try to reach a member of staff. At roughly 7am, x2 women came to the laundry room. Both were very rude. One in particular was very aggressive and hostile. She was shouting over my exhasted children. The woman claimed we had made a mess in the laundry room, but this was untrue. She was just annoyed that we were in the laundry room. We left the laundry room as we found it. I did lay some mats for my children to sleep on, and I used my own towels and blankets to keep them warm. Me using these mats really annoyed the women.

Very cosy, trails starting right at the door. High above the main valley with amazing views
