Reviews of Casa Collinetta 3 stars

Cleanliness, kitchen, beds

The cold floor tiles, the terrace has to be shared with other people, which is unpleasant

Spotlessly clean, easy directions and check-in. Sunny, quiet and peaceful terrace with Matterhorn view :)

-we were expecting a pull down bed in the living room as detailed on our booking but it was just one bedroom -pillows very flat and no extras in the apartment -very early check out time of 9am -overly complicated payment process from overseas

Clean and comfy apartment

Maybe start guests off with 4 rolls of toilet paper instead of 2 like other apartments I’ve rented.

The location was fine. The flat was big with everything needed. The view from the terrace was nice. The host lady was kind. If i visit Zermatt again, I would love to stay there again.

I can't say anything bad for this place.

Everything was perfect.

Nothing

The appartment was very nice and at a walking distance from the train station.

It was in the hill and not easy to locate.

Comfortable apartment with a fully equipped kitchen. The host was friendly and replied quickly to messages.

No negative thing but something to keep in mind. It is a bit of an uphill walk from the village center and it is not directly located on the main street, so you do have to walk for about 50 / 100 meters towards the apartment from where a taxi can drop you off if you did decide to use a taxi service.

The location and cleaning

The studio is spacious and tiled throughout. It was all spotlessly clean. There were no nasty smells or odours (e.g., no stinky sky boots feet odour from worn-out carpets, as you could have in many Zermatt hotels). The shower pressure was excellent. It was warm. On a clear day, you can see the Matterhorn from the terrace; besides being beautiful, you can immediately gauge the wind level based on how much "smoke" you see. The kitchen is tiny but fully equipped. The couch is comfortable, and there is a small TV. The host kindly agreed to a one-hour extension to my check-out time.

The property is on top of a very steep heel. It isn't easy, even on foot, without ski equipment or luggage. And you'll have to climb it for anything: ski, food, trash. A non-overweight, reasonably fit middle-aged person will be seriously challenged. There are two single-foldable beds. Unfortunately, the mattress doesn't even stay straight and is of terrible quality. Think more of a makeshift or business-class bed on a large long-haul aircraft than an actual bed. The temperature was nice and warm, but there were no visible heaters (underfloor heating, most likely). So if you want to wash and dry stinky gear after a day of skiing, the drying part is a bit tricky. The host asks for a substantial cleaning fee and that the guests clean everything, dispose of the garbage, etc. As a general principle, it seems fair to ask for a cleaning fee or for the guest to do it, but not both. The garbage disposal requirements were a saga. Recycling is different than elsewhere. As it turns out, you also have to use a municipality-approved special bag for the actual trash. Unfortunately, only one such bag was provided. So go down the hill, and waste your time until you find out that the special trash bag is not on the supermarket's shelves but is separately sold by the clerk at the counter. Buy it. Climb the hill to return. Now take the garbage down the hill. Climb back. Similarly, there were only two rolls of toilet paper. Credit card payment was not accepted; only Western Union (WU) or wire transfers. For WU, one would have to go down in the town, find their office, spend time there, and than climb back. Meanwhile, international wire transfers are expensive. How hard would it have been to leave some "municipality-approved" garbage bags, an extra roll of toilet paper and accept a credit card?

Lovely apartment, great location

Beautiful place, apartment was right in the heart of it, fantastic view of Materhorn

Equipment in the studio as expected. Located near Zermatt viewpoint. Owner was kind and approachable.
