We stayed at the Chalet Fontana for two nights in May 2009. We traveled from London down to souther Italy, and this was definetly our favorite accomodation! It's a charming Swiss Chalet, run very efficiently by Denise (an excellent host). The rooms and shared bathrooms were sparkling clean and the breadfast in the morning included a delicious granola, milk, juice... more

First, Denise is organized and very nice. The Chalet is extremely clean, which to us is one of the top things we look for. We had to share a bathroom, which is never ideal, but it worked out ok. We stayed in the large (HUGE) loft at the top of the house with windows facing the street and amazing mountain... more

My wife and daughter rented the apartment on two stays of about 5 days each and then I was there solo for 3 days. The Chalet is very clean, perfectly located, old, and very basic. The breakfast is a choice of breads and I think some cheese. If your fellow travelers are quiet it is quiet. If they have kids... more

We stayed at the Chalet Fontana for four nights in September 2008. The town of Murren is lovely and I don't think I would want to stay anywhere else if we returned to the area. There is convenient transportation and the views are wonderful. Denise was a joy to work with as I booked the room. She answered my emails... more

My husband and I stayed at Chalet Fontana mid July (12-14) and we absolutely LOVED it. We were fortunate to get one of the big loft rooms that was beside the bathroom upstairs. It was very spacious and roomy. Denise was absolutely fabulous and gave us many tips and helped us out with maps, directions, weather and more. Her sunny... more

We stayed at the Chalet Fontana for 4 nights in September, 2008 and could not have asked for a better base to enjoy the Berner Oberland region. The chalet was clean well cared for and we enjoyed staying in such quaint accommodations. The rooms are basic but everything was adequate. Staying at Chalet Fontana make us feel like we were... more

The chalet is charming and the owner Denise is a friendly lady. The place is very clean and breakfast is decent. However, I would rate this only 2 star based on my personal experience and here is why: There are five rooms in the Chalet (not counting the apartment). Three large rooms - room 2, 4 and the loft room.... more

I just want to reiterate what has been said before about the apartment at Chalet Fontana. It is wonderful to stay there and Denise is terrific. But it would be hard for almost anyone to sleep in the front room of the apartment due to the noise from upstairs. Our family of four all stayed in the back room of... more

My family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers stayed at the Chalet Fontana for 4 nights the first week of June '08 for 200sf per night for the apartment. We had read the great reviews in Ricks Steves book and on Trip Advisor. They were not wrong! I contacted Denise many times via e-mail and she always responded promptly to... more

We've stayed in the Chalet on a previous occasion and we have recommended it to several of our friends who had very nice stays there. Most recently we just returned from a European tour with a group of high school freshmen and we had the pleasure of renting the entire Chalet Fontana for 3 nights. Denise is very accomodating and... more
