Swiss, spacious luxury in quaint town
My family and I fell in love with this penthouse apartment the second we opened the door and saw the 180° view of the surrounding mountains and Lake Sarnen.
The apartment had a smart layout design and was equipped with all the appliances a family could want for a short visit. At one point, we were craving a cappuccino with frothy milk and it turned out, Marcel had a frother! There were dozens of other details like this that surprised us.
Location was a good fit. First, the apartment is a short walk to the lake, town and a sporting venue with soccer fields, running tracks, and even a dock where row teams launched their long boats in the water. Marcel also gave us a solid list of grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries and other spots to visit in Sarnen.
Second, the town of Sarnen was also nicely situated for day trips to Interlocken, Stanserhorn, Lucern, and other surrounding villages and towns.
We also appreciated the modern amenities like the single press-of-a-button to open/close state of the art blinds that wrap around the building.
The mountains greeted me every morning and was the last thing I saw before bed. Every window frame look like artwork.
Marcel was amazing. VRBO screwed up big time by not informing him that I made the deposit a month earlier. Fortunately, the flat was still available and Marcel bent over backwards to make sure I have the keys and everything we needed. I’ll be returning.
