This smart apartment is in the heart of Meiringen in Switzerland, close to the setting of Sherlock Holmes’ infamous (spoiler alert) fictional – and faked – death at the Reichenbach Falls. The town has taken to its mysterious connection well, building a Sherlock Holmes Museum in a picturesque former church that fans of the sleuth will want to pay a visit to. For those visiting the area hoping for more skiing than sleuthing, you're also in luck. The ski region of Meiringen-Hasliberg has a total of fourteen lifts and twenty ski runs and is a kilometre away, while further afield you’re within easy reach of Axalp, Schilthorn and Jungfrau. For summer stays, we recommend bringing your hiking boots – there are hiking paths within fifty metres of the apartment, and you’re surrounded by stunning scenery such as the Aare Gorge. The apartment itself, part of an aparthotel, offers a serene and comfortable place to retreat to after a day of activities, with mountain views from the living room and private balcony. For extra relaxation make use of the building's sauna, while the storage room is great for keeping your bikes and skis secure.

On a mountain slope, in the heart of picture-perfect Vercorin, sits this chic Alpine home. Part of a shiny new complex, kitted out with a bar, children's play area and a dreamy spa, the apartment itself is a relaxing space with more than a hint of ski lodge charm. Think parquet floors and wood panelling on the walls. The little kitchen area is well-equipped for basic meals, but we think you'll spend many evenings in the on-site restaurant. Here you'll be surrounded by Swiss scenery at its best. It's right on your doorstep, and beautiful at any time of year. In winter there's access to thirteen epic ski runs just a short walk away, and ski storage is included. Visit in the summer when the mountains become lush and green for hiking and mountain biking.

Spruce & Fir

This apartment positions classic Swiss design in a modern space and celebrates minimalist style alongside natural materials. Wood is used throughout, from the hanging lamp to the TV table and headboard. You're perfectly positioned to explore the postcard-pretty mountains at Meiringen and discover their history – Arthur Conan Doyle immortalised this very valley when he left his fictional character, Sherlock Holmes, for dead at the base of the Reichenbach Falls. Detective memorabilia can be found scattered around the apartment and there’s even a museum dedicated to the famous sleuth. The ski lift is just one kilometre away, so you can making a beeline for the slopes as soon as you've fuelled up on breakfast (taken out on your beautiful terrace, of course). Once home, rent a fondue kit from reception and spend an evening indulging yourself in life's little pleasures. 

The Magnifying Glass

Sleek, stylish and utterly Swiss, this apartment in Andermatt fully embraces modern alpine design. You won't find any cabin-chic here; instead, it's all about clean lines, contemporary finishes and luxe conveniences. Everything is glossy and bright – from the trendy kitchen to the smart bathrooms. Just take a look at the soaker tub in the master bedroom and you'll see what we mean. Take your morning coffee out on the balcony before tucking into breakfast at the dining table. Then, grab your skis and hit the slopes. The gondola is just a five-minute walk away, or you can hop on the shuttle bus to Sedrun or Disentis for even more choice. During the summer, there's golf, hiking and mountain biking to keep you busy. When your legs are sore from the day's adventures, unwind with a steaming bath or quick nap in the living room before heading into town for an evening meal at one of the local restaurants.

Steel & Spruce

This elegant home can be found in Ascona, where the mountains give way to the majesty of Lake Maggiore. Switzerland's lowest lying town, the varied terrain here means there are lots of ways you can explore, be it hiking or biking, and you don’t have to stay on dry land either. Take to the waters on a lake cruise or drive along the shore until you hit another country altogether – Italy is just fifteen minutes away. And that explains why this top floor home has more than a hint of Italian chic about it, with white walls, parquet flooring and a blend of classic and modern furnishings. There's a little balcony for morning coffee or evening aperitifs, and it's just a ten-minute stroll down to the lake.   

Maggiore Magic

Exercise Equipment

Offering stunning views over Lake Como, with direct access to the beach, this three-storey villa is perfect for large families or groups of friends. The outside space is the focal point with its heated swimming pool, covered terrace for alfresco dining, and balcony – the perfect spot for a sundowner. There’s even a private jetty for mooring. Your host provides a welcome dinner on the first night, and while the kitchen’s fully equipped, if you don’t fancy cooking during the rest of your time here, you’re a short drive from Menaggio’s charming restaurants.
