This is an amazing location!!! Even more beautiful than the pictures. The place was clean, comfortable, and the host was extremely responsive and friendly. I'm incredibly thankful to have stayed here. Thank you!!!
- Rudolph Heaven on Earth – Our Unforgettable Stay at Villa Wilen
From the moment we arrived, we were amazed. A personalized welcome on the chalkboard set the tone for what felt like paradise. The house is beautifully decorated with every detail thoughtfully planned. The views of Lake Sarnersee and the surrounding snow-capped mountains from the kitchen, chillout room, and balcony are like something out of a fairytale — truly the highlight of our 10-day trip to Switzerland.
Roland is an outstanding host. He welcomed us personally, shared great local tips, and made sure we had everything we needed. He even came to say goodbye with genuine warmth.
The projector in the chillout room turned our evenings into magical home theater nights with a view! Every appliance and item you could think of was available.
We left Villa Wilen with full hearts and unforgettable memories
This stay was beyond perfect. If you’re looking for a dream getaway in Switzerland! Villa Wilen is it. Thank you, Roland!
Wow! Words can’t describe how wonderful this experience was! The view is amazing, the place was so peaceful and Roland was a very friendly host.
House was extremely nice and clean, very comfortable beds, and all of the amenities as described. We wish we could have stayed longer but had other travel plans. Thank you Christine for being so helpful and welcoming us when we arrived, and thank you Roland for checking in on us by message and recommending things to do and restaurants. Overall, amazing experience!
I have been to many AirBnbs and honestly this was the best experience i've ever had.
The hosts Roland&Claudia are extremely friendly and had thought of everything to make us feel like home. For example, they decorated the bed as it was our honeymoon and it was complimentary.
I had some concerns regarding statues i had seen in the photos and Roland had generously hid them upon my request.
Instructions on how to get to the villa were very clear.
Everything was super clean, tidy, and in place. Kitchen had everything you need for the stay. They even provided us with some complimentary pasta, chocolate, and beverages.
Last but not least, the view and location are stunningly beautiful and everything was even better than the pictures!
A very comfortable apartment in a beautiful location. We fully enjoyed our three days in and around Wilen (the weather was also spectacular). Our hosts were extremely helpful as well as very friendly.
- Jozef A great place to stay, stunning views. Claudia & Roland were brilliant and helpful. Nothing was too much to ask , good recommendation for local attractions and dining experience!
Claudia kindly offered to take us back to the train station .
Lovely experience and we would like to return in the near future
Very nice experience, the garden has direct access to the lake with a view of the opposite shore of Sarnen Lake and a very nice view.It was a cloudy day when we came, otherwise we should be able to see the beginning of the day.Claudia was very welcoming to us, also introduced the facilities of the room and even thoughtfully printed out the Chinese introduction!We also had the pleasure of meeting mimi, a very cute, well-behaved black cat, and I will definitely choose this place again if I come back to Switzerland next time.
- Share I had an amazing stay at Roland's Airbnb! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated space. The bedroom was cozy, with a super comfortable bed that ensured a great night's sleep. The living area was inviting, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring.
Roland was an outstanding host. They were extremely responsive from the moment I booked, answering all my questions promptly. Upon arrival, they even provided some local tips and recommendations, which made my experience in this area so much more enriching.
Roland’s place in the Swiss Alps is absolutely stunning! With breathtaking views of Lake Sarnen and the surrounding mountains, it’s the perfect escape. The architecture and interior design are beautiful, blending comfort with elegance. It’s a peaceful stay, yet conveniently just 1 hour from Zurich. Every detail of the stay was superb and truly worth it. Highly recommend this gem!
- RalucaExcellent welcoming and guidance from roland. Exceptional stay.
- MohammedBeautiful views, modern apartment, everything as described. Will definitely recommend!
- Anastasiia This is hands down, the most beautiful place and scenery I have seen in my life. The nature room is to die for.
We had plans to explore the town in the evening but decided to order a pizza (recommended by Roland) and just enjoy the scenery, it is that good.
Thank you so much to Roland and his family.
This place is truly a little paradise, as Roland, the landlord, described. It's more beautiful than I could have imagined. Although the two rooms are on different floors, there's plenty of privacy, and there's an elevator for convenient access. Everything is clearly labeled, and most things can be used smoothly according to the instructions. If there are any uncertainties, Roland and Claudia are usually very quick to respond to messages. The house is very clean, well-maintained, and the interior is cozy, making it very comfortable to stay in. The kitchen is convenient, and the bathroom is clean and comfortable. And the garden outside is super pretty as well. My baby loves the little cat, Mimi, here, who is very friendly and kind to the baby. Of course, my favorite part is the mornings here, with different views and surprises every day.
- YvetteWe enjoyed the stay very much after we were warmly welcomed. We particularly noticed that bed linen and bath towels felt pleasant and smelled good. In general, the place is very clean and super well equipped (I would even give 6 stars for that)
- Eveline We had an absolutely amazing stay! The highlight was undoubtedly the incredible view from both the chillout room and kitchen—breathtaking mountain views that we were lucky enough to enjoy for three clear days in December. It felt like a dream to wake up to such stunning scenery every day.
The sauna access was a real treat, especially after spending the days exploring in the cold winter. It was the perfect way to unwind and warm up during the evenings.
The location was great—so close to Pilatus and Interlaken, making day trips a breeze, and only a short 30-minute drive to Lucerne. This place truly had it all: comfort, convenience, and unforgettable views. We can’t recommend it enough and hope to return soon!
Great place to stay & relax, Roland was extremely thoughtful
- FongThe view and place is exactly as the pictures and description. Even though the host ,Roland ,was on vacation himself , he answered all questions IMMEDIATELY. His wife Claudia was always on hand to help as was Carol , their cleaner and wood chopper !!! And she chopped a LOT of wood for us because we kept the beautiful fire burning continuously . We had an unfortunate accident with our rental car which shattered the back window and Claudia unselfishly gave us her own personal indoor parking space so that our car wouldn't receive further damage ðŸ™
- Teresa Our stay at this villa was truly unforgettable! The host went above and beyond to make us feel at home. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly accommodating and helpful, offering excellent local recommendations that made our trip even more special.
What stood out most was their kindness—they even offered to drive us to the train station, which was such a thoughtful gesture.
The villa itself was stunning, with breathtaking views that we couldn’t get enough of. We’re already planning to return next year and stay here for the entire trip. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay!
This stay was absolutely unforgettable! The views were breathtaking! The property was well-maintained and cozy, making us feel right at home.
The host was fantastic, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and sharing great local tips.
If you’re looking for a place with amazing views and warm hospitality, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!
Roland was such a kind, welcoming, and informative host. he was very responsive, had fantastic recommendations, and was a pleasure to interact with. We highly recommend staying at this beautiful spot!
- Ej We stayed 1 night at this property, and we had a great time! Roland was very responsive and understanding when we had a few changes along the way.
it was easy to find, and had parking available.
We thoroughly enjoyed the "Patio area" connected to the upstairs Bedroom. We were a group of 4, one couple 2 singles. We had 3 people upstairs and 1 person in the garden room downstairs which you will need to use the elevator to get to. Overall it was a stunning property, and Roland has done an exceptional job upkeeping and advertising it. Very modern, VERY clean and the views are breathtaking in the morning.
This is the best Airbnb that I have ever stayed in. The views are just beautiful and amazing. The view is even better than the pictures. The place is super clean and just perfect. He got a projector to watch movies and amazing speakers. But the best part is the huge windows with the amazing Mountain View. Also Roland is the best host he is super friendly and funny. He welcome you at the door and show you everything around. He makes himself available and response super fast. He even gave us rides to the train station. He is just an amazing host with the best Airbnb ever. Would love to go back there and stay longer. He also give your a lot of recommendations and is super nice. A++++ I would highly recommend this place. Thank you!
- MelissaRoland’s place was incredible! Though the fog prevented our views (we knew this coming to Sarnen in November), Roland provided us with things to do and see nearby. Roland’s home is beyond beautiful and we will definitely be staying again when the weather is warmer in summer!
- ChristinaBeautiful home and scenery!! Excellent host. Super helpful. I wished I booked a longer stay there. Will definitely book the next time we visit again.
- Clara As hosts of luxury Airbnb properties ourselves, we’ve experienced some incredible stays—but this one stands out as truly exceptional. Roland went above and beyond to make us feel completely at home, and Carol, who helps manage the property, was equally wonderful. Without a rental car, we were touched by her kindness in picking us up and dropping us off at the train station.
Their hospitality didn’t stop there—they even joined us in preparing a delicious fondue and accompanied us to a local market to gather fresh ingredients. The pictures don’t do justice to the breathtaking views we enjoyed during our stay—it’s a truly magical setting.
This getaway was exactly what my wife and I needed, offering a perfect mix of comfort, warmth, and unforgettable experiences. Thank you, Roland and Carol, for sharing your extraordinary space with us. We can’t wait to return!
Roland’s place was SO AMAZING. We booked 2 nights to spend time with my husband’s brother who lived far away from us in a different country so we caught up a lot in the wonderful kitchen space which was included in the airbnb.
Every detail was closely taken care of in the house, I noticed the oven papers were set for us in the oven before even using it. It’s just the meticulousness of everything that really made our stay so great. The sauna in the bathroom was so great, my husband and his brother enjoyed it a lot, it felt so cosy and private. Best of all- the views were breath taking and the place was just a perfect relaxation spot away from the tourist infested Grindelwald and Interlaken! It’s a MUST BOOK!
Roland is an excellent host with a beautiful property. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and also got great recommendations on unique places to visit in Switzerland.
- Pallavi I recently stayed at Roland’s beautiful apartment in Sarnen, Switzerland, and it was an amazing experience! The space was sparkling clean, modern, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was comfortable, and the living area was cozy, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
Roland was an excellent host—quick to respond and gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and activities. The location couldn’t have been better, right in front of the lake.
The added touches like the coffee made us feel at home. The view from the balcony was the cherry on top, especially during sunsets.
I highly recommend Roland’s place to anyone visiting Sarnen, and I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next trip!
It’s was one day really to remember and for sure Im highly recommend this place to relaxation and enjoy the beautiful view.
U have to pass this place to see how the word is beautiful
Everything tip top, super nice host, great choice and location
- HeikoWow wow wow loved our stay at Roland’s place on the beautiful lake. A little piece of paradise but you also felt right at home. Roland was a wealth of information on absolutely everything we needed and didn’t know we needed! Loved waking up to the cow bells and fog.
- AmandaMy husband and I just stayed for one night but it was absolutely worth it. Breathtaking views, very relaxing environment, hospitable host, and friendly cat :) would absolutely stay here again!
- AmyI’m not sure what to say about this place that hasn’t already been said. This place is AMAZING! The view is to die for and Roland is so welcoming and knowledgeable about the area and where to eat and what to see. This place is a 10 stars out of 5 for sure!!!
- Andrew Beautiful location! Accomodation was absolutely spotless with so many amazing attributes. Roland was flexible with checkin and was kind enough to come collect us for our stay.
The views were incredible and I believe it’s even better in person. We loved the private access to the lake below. Will definitely stay again and also recommend!
We had a wonderful stay and loved every minute of Sarnen!!!! The property is beautiful and I cannot say enough nice things about Roland and how you will find yourself still taking the same photos for the top level every day!!! The property is very simple to find and a short distance from the Zurich airport. We are from the USA, rented a car at the airport and had no issues driving all around Switzerland for 2 weeks. The property is very clean and very comfortable to come home to at the end of the day of hiking!!! Roland will give you lots of suggestions and not one was a bad call other than not staying another week to see everything. We will be back for sure and look forward to knowing that everything will be perfect!!!!
THANK YOU Roland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers!!!!!!!!!!
Paul & Jenifer
Roland and his partner were amazing hosts. Even before we arrived, Roland provided us with recommendations on things to do and great tips. Upon arrival, Roland was extremely welcoming and friendly. Even though Roland and his partner live on the property, you would never know it. They were very respectful of our privacy. The AirBnB itself is absolutely stunning, extremely modern, and had everything we needed to start our honeymoon in Switzerland. We loved how this location in Sarnen was far enough away from the busy streets of Lucerne and gave us a taste of the Swiss countryside. One thing to note is this AirBnB, in our opinion, is most accessible by car. We do not recommend utilizing public transit to get here. We were so happy we rented the car. It gave us the freedom to do so much more exploring and see things you would not be able to see as easily with public transit. We absolutely recommend Villa Wilen and Roland to anyone looking to enjoy Switzerland!! We can’t wait to return!
- RyanUnfortunately there is no more than 5 stars to rate Roland's house. You should stay at least once in your lifetime at his masterpiece. This extraordinary home is one of the best on Airbnb. Literally, you can stay at this place without the need to explore Switzerland! just stay at the spectacular lounge!
- AbdulrahmanRoland was a most gracious and helpful host. Pictures cannot adequately convey the beauty of the view. The home was perfectly maintained and very comfortable. Roland was available to assist us but we felt perfectly private in the top floor rooms. The tour and restaurant recommendations were excellent and my wife and I both enjoyed our conversations with Roland. We only stayed 2 nights but wished we had stayed much longer. Easy ride to Lake Lucerne and Mt Pilatus, which was spectacular (7000 ft and and amazing cog wheel ride to the top. We wish we had more time to explore the area. We would definitely rent here again if we return to the area. Well done Roland!
- MattWe had a magical 3d2n experience staying at this airbnb. The panoramic lounge offers stunning views of lake sarnen both at night and at dawn, which were simply enthralling. During the stay, the hosts also generously offered to let us use their stand up paddle boards, which allowed us to cruise down the serene lake, taking in the breathtaking views of the mountains. This experience was simply the best airbnb stay that we had, and it was a perfect end to our honeymoon in Switzerland. Thank you Roland and Claudia!
- ZannThis is an amazing place! Roland is a gracious and responsive host. The apartment and views are exceptional, even better than the pictures. The set-up was very comfortable for our family of three. It felt very luxurious. The neighborhood and wider area was lovely with many cultural and hiking opportunities. We highly recommend this Air BnB!
- Jennifer The pictures were looking forward to it. But a warm welcome, a great introduction on site and everything was overtaken again. Perfectly equipped kitchen that welcomed us with Roland's presents. Tasteful LivingRoom, home theater with great offers. And then this lounge. An absolute highlight. The lakeside location gives it an ExtraCharm. The interior features are tasteful and in top condition.
The cleanliness also gets an extra from me.
The perfect starting point for activities of all kinds, but then also to find peace and quiet and end the evening comfortably and be awaken by the sun in the morning. Roland's tips and tips for excursions were very helpful.
He was very good host. Always responsive and interested if everything is okay.
I very much like to give 5 stars here and would even add one, as perfect days were possible here.
Absolutely recommended and very happy to come back.
Roland’s place is AMAZING. It is located right next to the lake with gorgeous view from the dinning room and the bedroom. We would step out of our suite and conveniently jump into the water for swimming or paddle boarding. Roland provided us with paddle boards and life vests and that made our experience way more fun. Roland has a great personality. Communicating with him was very easy. He answered all our questions regarding hiking and places to go. It felt very cozy and fun. I absolutely recommend this place.
- Negar Well stocked apartment, everything is available. Beautiful, modern and clean!
The views were stunning. The lake is serene and tranquil.
We particularly loved the various artefacts around the property, each piece from different corners of the world. We were also impressed by the gardens and the Japanese rock pool with carp.
The kids had a dip in the lake, also stand-up paddle boards are available, which we didn’t have enough time to use.
Lastly, we enjoyed our chats with both Claudia and Roland, really nice people!
We have no hesitation to recommend the place.
By booking and leaving, Roland are all very friendly and welcoming.This is the most beautiful airbnb I have ever stayed in, the environment is beautiful, we really enjoyed spending most of the day in the house, watching the sunrise, the lake view, and the owner's picture book.Cooked at home in the evening, with seasonings and utensils, I didn't expect the rice cooker too.Worthy for friends around
- V IckyRoland’s home was a slice of paradise and we will definitely return. It’s in an amazing location convenient to many day trip locations. The home was super clean and spotless. Everything we needed was available. We borrowed Roland’s paddle boards for a nice time on the lake. There is an amazing bakery two minutes away and a fantastic Thai and Swiss restaurant five minutes away.
- FredThis is a beautiful home, definitely the best we have ever stayed in through Airbnb. Roland was a great host, friendly, very helpful, and made us feel so welcome. It was lovely to be able to get to know him a little when so often you don’t meet hosts at all. We wanted to see a little bit of Switzerland although it was difficult to leave the house! Great train service nearby if you do want to venture further though.
- SusanRoland and Claudia were delightful! They have given much consideration to what their guests may need. Villa Wilen was equipped with everything you could want to feel comfortable and at home! Roland was very helpful in assisting us with booking taxis and was even kind enough to take the time to drive us to the train himself on our check out. We were a party of 4 so 2 of us stayed upstairs and the other 2 stayed downstairs. Even though it was a shared space downstairs, it was extremely private and still included a private bathroom. Overall, we had the best time, we enjoyed the gorgeous views from the chill out room, dipped in the lake, cooked delicious pasta from the personalized welcome basket (which was so kind!), and made fondue! We hope to come back to Switzerland in the future so we can enjoy this space again!
- Brittany Roland was hands down the BEST host I’ve ever come across. Not only was he responsive during our entire stay, but he was proactive and extremely helpful in coming up with solutions to last minute, urgent issues with our car rental pick up and luggage transport to the airport (we underestimated the size of the car in relation to our luggages).
It is clear that Roland takes pride in his hosting responsibilities with an objective to assist his guests any which way he can.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Roland’s place. It was pure paradise!
Thank you Roland, Claudia (and Melissa) for your hospitality and friendship. We will be back soon.
We absolutely loved the place it is one of a kind and a whole experience itself. Honestly every single detail and the touches of ethnicity from southeast asia was well thought out and the place is so well equipped. We loved the style that you implemented in the house. The view from the house was absolutely magical and one could never get enough of it. The complimentary drinks and food you left were such a nice gesture and we really loved and appreciated it. Not to mention that we would like to really thank you for your extreme care regarding everything, you are the absolute best and one can see how much you care for the house and the guests. The overall experience was absolutely amazing, and we most definitely will be back.
- OssamaRoland is an impeccable good host, not only the house is clean, nice, comfortable, the view is even more beautiful, the window looks out is a beautiful landscape painting, Roland is also very friendly and enthusiastic and responsive, giving us many precious and practical tips from the time of the booking, also caring every day during the stay, and giving advice, living in Roland's home made us feel at home, it was such a great thing!
- ChialinYdilic stay . Poetry emerged from this absolutely sublime place. Hard to recommend because we would only like it for us!!!! Thank you so much Roland, we'll be back very soon!!!!
- JanyWe had such a wonderful time at Ronald’s house. The location is amazing and the house was spotless with the magical view. Ronald was very nice and friendly. He always responded quickly. The Best ARBNB experience.
- Alla This is a stunning property in an unbelievably beautiful location looked after by extremely jovial hosts.
The property itself is delightful architecturally and being in that location just puts it on another level.
It is well equipped, comfortable and pristine.
The Garden Room is fantastic. From here you can see the lake and the mountains beyond. WOW. The doors push right back so you can open up the whole area and let that fresh mountain air in.
At the bottom of the garden there are steps taking you right into the lake. Perfect for a wild water swim.
There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and Roland is very happy to help and advise when it comes to day trips.
Within walking distance is a bakery, selling various produce, and a hotel. We ate at the hotel one evening and I would thoroughly reccommend it.
We only have good things to say about this Airbnb. Our only disappointment was that we were only booked for two nights. We absolutely intend to return.
This was by far the best Airbnb I've ever stayed!
The view was so magnificent we've spent the most of our time in the panoramic lounge. You could open the most of the windows so you can feel the fresh air without the need to go out.
The dining area was also beautiful and spacious with plenty of kitchen utensils. Also there's a small bakery near the house (takes less than 10 mins by walking) which also provides ordinary stuff like cheese and ham. So you don't really need to go out to the town.
It was really a perfect peaceful stay by the lake. I would definitely come back again.
Staying at Roland's place was an exceptional experience! Roland is a very responsive and friendly host, going out of his way to make us feel at home and welcome. The panoramic view from the lounge room is easily the best and most beautiful, serene view I have ever experienced from an Airbnb home. The kitchen is well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. Overall, it was a perfect stay and I highly recommend Roland's place to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable getaway. Thks Roland and Claudia for being top-notch hosts!
- Wan Lin The photos just don’t do justice to this hidden gem! Panoramic view from the stay is what you will arrive to. Roland has thoughtfully built this place. He was there to receive us and show us around!
Don’t think twice just BOOK this!
Make sure you spend 1 full day at this property to fully enjoy it.
A very wonderful and luxurious stay on the shores of beautiful Lake Sarnen. The house has really exceeded my expectations. Ronaldo and his wife are so beautiful. I feel like I'm in my house. I will repeat the visit. Very beautiful memories. Thank you, Ronaldo.♥ï¸♥ï¸♥ï¸♥ï¸♥ï¸ðŸ‡¨ðŸ‡
- AishahA peaceful house where money is not a waste at all! Ronald was very kind and picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. It was the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed at, with stunning scenery and a gorgeous interior. Everything we needed was provided, and we could enjoy it all with a large projector and smart TV. If I go to Switzerland again, I’ll definitely stay here. Thank you for welcoming us so kindly!
