Helvetia Apartments

100% Recommended! We spent one Winter Week and we were delighted with the experience. - The apartment is well equipped and you will not miss anything (a full fondue kit, a colander, washing machine powder, oven paper, enough toilette paper for a week, etc.). You only need to buy your own shower soaps & shampoos. - The location is very convenient as you can perfectly walk to the ski slopes, Coop/Migros, après-ski options, coffee shops, etc. - The apartment is warm and quiet. The beds are comfortable and you always have heating and hot water. Internet works very well and the smart TV is a huge plus. - There’s an additional (shared) room with plenty of space to leave your skis/tables and boots. - You get picked up and brought to the entrance of the village (see video of the parking) by the owner, on an electric taxi. - The owner of the apartment is the most caring and devoted person we’ve met. He will make sure your stay is as excellent as possible. We hope to repeat next year.

Good location in the town centre with 5 minutes walk to the ski points or supermarket. Nice and cozy apartment for the families. Convenient with the apartments own shuttle from the parking lot to apartment.

This was an amazing place to stay, great location, beautiful property and the host was very kind and welcoming. The apartment was very well set up for our family.

I have nothing negative to say.

Very central location, super convenient. Ski lifts 5 mins walking, good Asian restaurant next door, lovely coffee shops couple of minutes away. The apartment is cozy and spotless; big flat TV, game console, books for reading, number of leaflets with the info on the Saaf Fee activities. Very well equipped kitchen. Big size sunny terrace, clean and nice shower room. But above everything - the host, attentive, helpful, thoughtful. Dear Jochen, I felt at home at your place, thank you for the hospitality.

Nothing to be criticized.

Not anything that I can remember

An amazing host. We felt very welcome and appreciated all the extra touches. Helvitia is an easy walk from the Saas-fee bus station. And, in the other direction, to lifts. Fabulous position, especially for the winter season.

For our family with two small children the apartment was absolutely great! It’s spacious (two big bedrooms, separate living room & kitchen), well equipped (kitchen / smart TV / baby bed & chair / clean) and in a great location. The ski school and lifts are a 5 to 10 minute walk and the supermarkets & restaurants are right around the corner (though now noise pollution whatsoever). Prior to our arrival as well as during our stay, the host Jochen was extremely helpful & flexible to ensure we had a great trip.

very good location, free pick up, ski room, cozy apartment, friendly owner

body shampoo and shampoo not provided, not enough kitchen necessities such as cooking oil, salt, baking paper

The location of the apartments is perfect, easy walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants, scenic walking trails and the ski lifts. The apartment is modern, clean and spacious enough for a family to stay comfortably. The views of the alpine mountains is spectacular, although this type of view comes expected with the region in general.

The apartment was categorised on Booking.com as having a clothes dryer (no washing machine), however the apartment did not have one. We specifically booked this apartment as it was one of only 8 properties listed with drying facilities. The owner told us that there used to be one but it kept getting broken. Whilst handwashing clothes is not a concern for us (we do it often when travelling), drying is almost a necessity partcularly in the snow or cold regions when certain items of clothing will get wet and washing will not dry efficiently outdoors. Our booking also showed a breakdown of our payment indicating inclusion of all fees. The apartment owner stated we needed to pay a local tax of 4.50 CHF per per person per night directly to him, however we were confused because our payment showed it as included. Whist the payment of the 40.00 CHF to us was certainly not a problem, this along with a query about heating and clothes drying, the owner treated us like we had high expectations exclaming that we made him feel obligated to do our washing, drying, telling us he would specially arrange us an electric heater and also pay our tourism tax on our behalf!! Whilst the above may simply seem trivial, we felt that the way we got treated could have been handled much better. Perhaps it was a language barrier issue, either way, in any case we certainly didnt let this bother us during the rest of our stay though.
