Delightful Apartment

We have just returned from our stay at Marcus's lovely apartment. The location was great being near the centre of Zermatt and also on one of the historical side streets with so much character. The apartment was well equipped and comfortably furnished. We enjoyed wonderful views of the Matterhorn from the balcony. Marcus had produced a helpful folder containing information and recommendations on the resort as well a step by step guides on operating all the appliances. We really appreciated the external ski cupboard and the heated boot cupboard located on the entry stairs. We would certainly book again when we next go to Zermatt.

The perfect home in a lovely town

The apartment is located in the middle of town, just a few minutes away from shops and restaurants. However, the apartment stays quiet and insulated from the noise of the town. All around the apartment are beautiful 16th century barns and lovely cobblestone streets. It's less than 10 minutes to the train station and a lovely 15 minute walk to the gondolas up to the Matterhorn. The home has been redone in a beautiful and tasteful way. Our family of four had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the views of the Matterhorn. Marcus was quick to respond to any questions we had, and his associate was very helpful and kind. We would love to return to Zermatt someday and can't imagine staying anywhere else!

Lovely stay

We adored our time in this home. Host was lovely (and available when you reach out to him). Home is located in the heart of Zermatt, walkable to restaurants and shops. Easy way from train station. The loft upstairs is gorgeous with Views of the Matterhorn. It’s not meant for anyone who has reduced mobility but I (at 47) have an artificial hip and was able to navigate up and down! We highly recommend this property and it would be the first place we try to book upon our return.

Fantastic Chalet in Zermatt

Thank you, Marcus, for sharing your beautiful apartment in Zermatt. Everything was top notch, from the appliances to the towels. The apartment is supplied with everything you might need, and I mean everything. It is very comfortable and stylish. The view is gorgeous. How beautiful to be able to look out your window and see the Matterhorn. The apartment is located in a great location, close to restaurants, markets, and the train station. Yet it is removed from the constant chaos of Zermatt. Seadin, Marcus' colleague, met us at the train station and had a taxi take us to the apartment. Seadin checked in with us several times to make sure everything was okay. I have only two slight complaints. The beds on the lower floor were too hard for me; but that's a personal preference. The only other thing is that the washer/dryer is located in a closet under a stairway. You have to virtually crawl in to wash clothes. When I mentioned to Seadin that I couldn't possibly make that work for me because of my age, he offered to take our laundry and wash it at home. Such a nice offer! My husband and I would gladly return to this oasis in Zermatt.

About the host

Hosted by Marcus Philpott

Originally from England I came out to Zermatt to work in the ski business during the early 90's. I worked Scott Dunn for much of that time as a manager and also taught skiing with Summit Ski School. These days I am away a lot in my capacity as an international tour manager.

Why they chose this property

I had been living in a rented apartment just a few doors away when this one came up for sale. I took this project on with the idea to create a lovely home for me to live in. Having spent a few very happy years here I have made the property available for holiday rental since changing career.

What makes this property unique

The building dates back to 1865 but was lovingly renovated by a local craftsman in 2007 combining elements of traditional & contemporary styles. A truly wonderful location right in the heart of historic Zermatt on the old cobbled Hinterdorfstrasse.
Downstairs: open plan kitchen / dining room with stone surround wood burning fire the kitchen is very well equipped with high quality oven, steamer, microwave, gas hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, kettle & coffee machine. Wi Fi is available throughout the house. Twin bedroom, bathroom, small utility room with washing / drying machine & ski cupboard.
Upstairs: Loft style living room with very comfortable English furniture (2 person sofa, 2 single armchairs & a footstool). French windows onto the south facing balcony both offering superb Matterhorn views. A large top of the range LCD tv with Swisscom cable box offering channels in English, German, French & Spanish. A good quality music system & cd / dvd player. Sonos wireless speakers in every room (download the Sonos app to stream your music from your phone or ipad .) Double en suit bedroom (wetroom with shower), separate access door & outside stairs. Both bedrooms have curtains & blinds. Best use has been made of the available space despite strict building regulations on this beautiful listed property, so the bathrooms are functional but small with showers in both.
(The internal staircase is very steep so great care is needed if you have young children. There is however another outside staircase that runs up the side of the building.)
