Lake, city and mountains - stunning lakeside living in Zurich

Our stunning apartment is located on the lake in the city of Zurich. Less than 10 minutes to the city centre by bus or tram, we are perfectly located for city life yet close to the train station and highway for a quick escape into the mountains or south to Ticino and the Italian lakes,

Our apartment has three bedrooms: One master bedroom (with ensuite), one family room (which sleeps two) and a baby/toddlers room with cot bed (and enough toys to entertain even the most demanding little one). A modern large open plan living space enters onto a wrap around terrace (with dining table and gas BBQ) with stunning 180 degree lake views and direct views to the city.

You might also want to combine a visit to our home in Zurich with a visit to our mountain hideaway in Klosters (http://www.davos.ch/en.html). Please contact us for further details.

Zurich is a fabulous place to visit, in any season. It has something for everyone: a chocolate box perfect old town, breathing hiking routes everywhere, lakeside activities, fantasy castles and yet is only an hour from the nearest ski slopes. We are also only a couple of hours away from the famous mountain resorts of St Morritz and St Anton in Austria and the same distance to the famous lake resorts of Geneva, Interlaken and Konstanz in Germany. Less than three hours will get you to Piedmont and Lake Como in Italy, the Matterhorn and the Black Forest in Germany.

Perfectly located in the middle of Europe, Zurich is a fabulous option for a holiday or as a stopover of a European tour.
