Serviced Apartments in Montreux

This wonderful city, situated on the shores of Lake Geneva and overlooked by the alps, has been the inspiration for many an artist, both past and present. With a rented serviced apartment or holiday letting in Montreux you too can discover just what it is that spurs the creativity and nurtures the imagination, perhaps you will even be driven to write a master piece just as Lord Byron and Deep Purple did many years ago.

No visit to Montreux would be complete without a visit to Chateau de Chillon, Montreux’s stunning castle. The chateau sits strong and proud on an island in Lake Geneva and was originally built as a toll house albeit of somewhat grand proportions. An extraordinary castle that could either be the stuff of fairytales or the stuff of nightmares, it’s beauty is also rather intimidating, perhaps like the beautiful wicked stepmother in the snow white fairytale. The chateau was built in the 13th century and has been home to the Counts of Savoy. Often you can catch a re-enactment here or an intriguing medieval market, you can also purchase wines from the castle’s vineyards at the small shop on the island. Now a museum, you can wander from room to room taking in the mysterious atmosphere and learn the history of the Savoy. Visit the prison and climb to the top of the keep for the most spectacular views over Lake Geneva. Lord Byron loved this castle so much that he dedicated a poem to her.

Your serviced residence or aparthotel in Montreux also gives you access to the Lakeside Promenade Fleuri. This 11 kilometre long promenade runs alongside Lake Geneva and the abundant flowers and plants along this walkway provide a glorious fusion of colour. Take in the sights as you stroll along, from the luxury hotels and Montreux Palace to the vendors on the sidewalk. Enjoy the stunning floral sculptures that grace the promenade and choose a lovely little eatery where you can grab a spot of lunch. A wonderfully relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

Marmots’ Paradise is a must for fans of cute, furry little critters. Here you can see the delightful little marmots in their underground homes through observation areas. These marmots have been collected from all over the world but seem very happy living together. Seems we could learn a lesson or two from these funny little fellows.

A great place to eat that is within a short distance of your apartment rental or holiday let in Montreux is Montreux Palace. Enjoy your meal Al Fresco on the terrace overlooking the lake. Here you can expect excellent service an extensive wine list and superb foie gras.
