About this property

Chez Nous Zermatt - 4 luxury apartments in same building with Matterhorn views

Angus Potter and Lizzie Orange set up Chez Nous Zermatt to offer our guests a luxury holiday rental experience that feels more personal – more like staying with a friend than in a “vacation home”.   

Le Petit is a very pretty, spacious 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment on the 1st floor - perfect for 4 people (and many of our guests put 3 children in to the second bedroom so that it sleeps 5). The apartment has stunning views straight out on to The Matterhorn.

Great care has been taken to create a truly welcoming atmosphere: the pretty sitting room/dining room has a kitchen off it and a large wrap-around balcony that faces out to the field with the lovely old Swiss stadels in the foreground and the Matterhorn presiding in the background. The dining area comfortably seats 4-6 people so you can enjoy meals at home and then in the evenings (or on bad weather days) you can get cosy in front of the 45' home cinema system (with UK channels and Apple TV) watching a film or reading your book and when it is time to sleep the beds are super-comfortable. We also make sure that "the basics" are in stock so that you can make tea/coffee and have a glass of wine without having to go shopping straight away!

If you are part of a larger group of family and friends then combining Le Petit with one of our other apartments can allow you all to be together in the same building but free to retreat to own space when needed. See our other listings for Le Corbassiere (sleeps 6), The Mischabel (sleeps 6-8) and L'Etoile (sleeps 2-3).

All the Chez Nous apartments have 180 degree views straight out on to The Matterhorn, over towards Gornergrat and up the Trift valley . One of the only remaining fields in the village is just in front of us which gives a welcome feeling of space despite being so close to all the restaurants, the church bridge and the lift stations/bus.

The only practical point to bear in mind is that direct access to our building from street level (when you arrive and leave) is down 3 flights of stairs. However once your luggage is installed most guests then use the shortcut to the village via a path across the field in front of the house.

Perfect place to enjoy a unique ski resort
Zermatt ranks as one of the most special places on the planet and that is no small part because of Lizzie and Angus and their apartments. Everything was as ever in perfect alignment.

Amazing stay and host
We absolutely loved Chez Nous. The property was in a great location, walkable to anywhere. The apartment was clean, cozy and well equipped with anything we needed. Lizzie (the host) was the most informative, kind and helpful host we have ever experienced at any of our VRBO stays. I would highly recommend Chez Nous to anyone looking to visit Zermatt. If we ever have the opportunity to go back, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks Lizzie!

Excellent Stay
Lizzie’s place was perfect for our family of four. It’s beautifully finished and in a great location. Additionally Lizzie is wonderful to work with. She provided helpful information prior to our arrival and had bread, coffee and other staples in the refrigerator when we arrived. Such a nice touch!

Amazing apartment in fantastic location!
We had the most fantastic stay at Le Petit! The apartment is fully furnished with amazingly comfortable beds, great shower and a fully equipped kitchen. We couldn’t have wanted for anything else in an apartment during our time in Zermatt. Lizzie was easy to communicate with and had our ski passes waiting for us when we arrived which was a great help. We would 100% stay here again if we visit Zermatt again and have to mention the most delicious lemon cake Lizzie made!

Amazing zermatt stay
We are a family of 4 including a 16 yo son and 13 yo daughter visiting from USA. We had an amazing time!! Lizzie was super helpful even before we arrived. She helped us get proper train tickets into zermatt and back to Paris. Her communication was perfect down to meeting g is at the train station. The apt was perfect. A spacious living room, a master bedroom and another room for our children. The apt was beautiful with a working kitchen and beautiful views of the Matterhorn for morning coffee and easy walk to town. Amazing unit and owners. 5 stars!!

Classy convenient chalet
Guests at Le Petit can expect top quality, the owners have not skimped on furnishings and have thought of everything. The chalet has everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Lizzie is also incredibly helpful with local knowledge. The chalet is positioned between the main ski access gondolas, so access is easy. We had not realised how sprawling Zermatt was prior to arrival and the location of Le Petit is fantastic - relatively flat walking distance to the shopping and the lifts. It was also the cleanest chalet we have ever stayed in.

Fabulous Apartment - Perfect Location
This flat was immaculate, and centrally located. The perfect size (two bedrooms), well appointed and very comfortable. ... And did I mention the view? Unbeatable! There is open space next to the building, so the view is unobstructed. Lizzie was extra nice, and helped us get to and from the rail station via electric taxi. She also knew (and was happy to recommend) all the best places to eat. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Spectacular
This apartment—Mischabel—was the best VRBO place we’ve ever stayed in (and we have stayed in a lot of them in U.S., U.K., and Europe). It was absolutely spotlessly clean, I mean there wasn’t a speck of dirt, even under the furniture. It was beautifully, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped—uncommonly so. It had everything we needed or could have wanted. Throughout the apartment, everything was in perfect order—there were no scratched beat up old non-stick pans, no half-melted plastic spatulas, no non-functioning appliances, no burned out light bulbs, no broken window blinds—all of which are sadly standard in so many other VRBO rentals. The place is gorgeous, and sitting on the deck watching the Matterhorn was spectacular. Lizzie and her on-site person were very responsive, and super helpful, they provided outstanding communications.

Great place to relax and explore Zermatt
We had a wonderful stay at Chez Nous. The property was exactly as described, we were not disappointed. We enjoyed wonderful views of the Matterhorn from the patio areas. It was so nice to have a kitchen and place to wind down after more than a week of hopping from hotel to hotel in a prior motor cycle tour of the Alps. Lizzie picked us up at the train station, gave us all the needed information for the area - where to eat, buy groceries, hike, etc. The kitchen was well equipped, the bedding comfortable. The property is so nicely decorated and cleanly kept. We enjoyed watching a few movies in the evening on the large TV, wifi was good as well, we had no trouble with connectivity. Thanks for a wonderful stay, we'll never forget it.

Perfect location with a view of Matterhorn
We were very pleased with the location. We had a gorgeous view of Matterhorn from the living room and the balcony. We had sun on that balcony during then day until late afternoon which was perfect for lazy afternoons. The apartment was very well equipped and organized. The beds were very comfortable and the bath lovely. Maps, information and suggestions on what to do and how was available. It felt like coming to someones home. The feeling of rental was non existing with was lovely. Lizzy and her staff were all very helpful with organizing both transfer and skipas and available for questions during our stay. It was walking distance to both ski systems and it was just a few minutes to the bus. The only thing that could improve is availability of dryers for the skiboots since you are not allowed to take them up into the apartment.

Great location, property and host
We stayed here in late January, the apartment was located just a few minutes walk from the lifts and the main street, which was really convenient. We had two couples and both were very comfortable. Lizzie was extremely helpful getting us oriented for our first visit to Zermatt and her guide on where to eat and rent equipment was invaluable. I would definitely stay here again. Bonus is that you can see the Matterhorn from the living room.

Superb apartment, ideally positioned in Zermatt
The apartment is so well arranged, furnished and decorated and ideally positioned for both the main ski lifts and and central Zermatt shops and restaurants.The view over an old meadow to the mountains and the Matterhorn is wonderful.Lizzie and Angus are wonderful hosts. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and they really know Zermatt and all the ski areas. Have been going to Zermatt since 2004 and have now stayed at Chez Nous for four years and genuinely wouldnt think of anywhere else in Zermatt.Cannot recommend highly enough.

Perfect home from home in zermatt
We had a great stay at chez nous zermatt for two reasons. Firstly the apartment itself was very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Secondly hosts Lizzie and Angus were extremely helpful in arranging all we could hope for in terms of lift passes, lunch bookings and more. Lots of nice small touches like chocolate in the boot room too. As with anywhere in zermatt you can’t be close to the lifts of both main mountains but the location here worked well for us even with young children, helped by the free ski lockers all over the ski area. Strongly recommended.

Marvelous stay at Chez Nous
Chez Nous is a wonderful condo -- beautifully furnished and maintained and it is well situated in the village. Lizzie served as a superb concierge for us letting us know which train tickets to purchase, setting up a ski guide, giving us great recommendations for ski rental, etc. She also had fresh tea bread prepared for us and even had the frig stocked with orange juice, milk and butter upon our arrival. Chez Nous was an excellent value and gave our family of four space to stretch out after three amazing days of skiing at Zermatt. We are very picky when it comes to lodging, and Chez Nous definitely lived up to our expectations -- actually, it surpassed them. Highly recommend -- would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful apt, great views & location, loved it!
This was our second time staying here, but our first time in summer. Le Petit is beautifully appointed, and the name doesn’t do it justice; it's a very decent size with two bedrooms / bathrooms and plenty of inside and outside living space. Very much a home-away-from-home with lots of thought to the design of each room and to furniture and fittings. The living room is a wonderful place to relax with a magnificent uninterrupted view of the Matterhorn through large glass windows, a state-of-the-art television and sound system, perfect for evenings in – and of course WIFI so you can keep in touch if you choose to. The kitchen is very well equipped with modcons and even has its own Nespresso machine: we cooked up some very nice breakfasts and dinners. The double bed in our room (lovely and quiet) was extremely comfortable with a nice modern en-suite bathroom (with bath, perfect to relax aching limbs) and a little side-terrace. Then there is also the main terrace that leads off the kitchen and living room with nice comfortable modern furniture and that Matterhorn view again, nothing quite like waking up and scanning the rock faces with binoculars to spot climbers or sitting outside in the sun relaxing after a hard day in the mountains! There’s plenty of space in the apartment to hang sports clothes and right at the entrance to the building, a good-sized utility room to store guests' hiking boots and bikes (and skis/boots), a lot of thought into creating effective storage. Also a nice touch is that Chez Nous provides guests with chocolate snacks for skiing as well as packets of tissues and maps of the area – and even slippers, were very welcome in winter. Although Le Petit is smaller than the other apartments, it’s ideal for a family of four or for two couples. The location, just 5-10 minutes from the church and the main street, is within easy walking distance of the lifts of the shuttle bus; a small supermarket and bread shop just around the corner. Lizzie and Angus are such excellent hosts, going that extra mile to welcome you and make you feel at home, and after many years in Zermatt, they have lots of top tips of hikes to go on, mountain restaurants to visit, different activities to try out (paragliding or a heli-tour over the Matterhorn for instance!) or where to party in the evenings. Lizzie and Angus are always on-hand, very organised, helpful and friendly, nothing too much trouble. I highly recommend staying here, we had a truly terrific week!

This apartment is even more amazing in person!
Extraordinary apartment!! We were more than happy with our stay in Le Petit. First of all the view from apartment is breathtaking. The apartment is comfortable, making you feel at home. Although we did not have the pleasure of meeting Lizzie, she made sure we were well taken care of. Martin was our greeter and a wonderful person. The apartment was well stocked and Lizzie had left fresh fruit,bread,coffee, tea, milk and more to help get us started. Everything was beyond perfect! Thank you again Lizzie and we hope to return soon!!

Chez Nous
We stayed with Lizzie and Angus in their appartment- Chez Nous on a B& B basis. Our friends were in Petit Chez Nous. The apartment is beautiful, exceptionally clean and well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble - from pick up's, ski passes, time of breajkfast and choice of breakfast. The bed was soooo comfortable. Thank you Lizzie and Angus.

Lovely apartment in great location
We loved this apartment. It is very cosy, modern and every detail is thought of. We have young children (10, 8, 6) and the apartment was perfect for us. Very convenient to everything Zermatt has to offer. 5-10 minutes to the centre of town and you could even be at several of the main lift stations in about 10 minutes on foot. Overall, I couldn't recommend this apartment more highly - booking was straightforward, directly with the host, Lizzie. Lizzie went out of her way to help us arrange everything from ski school, advice on train schedules, book restaurant etc etc. She was available throughout our stay to help us with any queries we had. We will definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by Lizzie Orange

Host profile image
Angus Potter and Lizzie Orange set up Chez Nous Zermatt to offer our guests a luxury holiday rental experience that feels more personal – more like staying with a friend than in a “vacation home”.   

We have deliberately kept Chez Nous Zermatt small because our experience is that a boutique, owner-managed business is the best way to ensure that our guests get a truly personal service.  We have personally furnished our holiday apartments to create an atmosphere that aims to make you feel at home from the moment you walk in.

Family commitments mean that we now divide our time between the UK and Zermatt but we have a small concierge team on the ground here who know Zermatt well and between us we will make sure you are well looked after during your stay.

Why they chose this property

Initially we ran a small b&b from our own apartment but we now have 4 apartments in this building (the Swiss laws re. foreigners buying property allowed us to buy one and lease the others) and as from Winter 2018/19, Chez Nous has 4 apartments to rent: The Corbassiere which sleeps 6 on the 3rd floor, The Mischabel which sleeps 6-8 on the 2nd floor, Le Petit which sleeps 4 on the 1st floor and now L'Etoile a 1 bedroomed apartment also on the 1st floor next to Le Petit.

We offer our guests the freedom of a self-catered holiday combined with the feel and warmth of staying in someone else's home. We have completely re-furnished the flats to create an atmosphere that aims to make you feel at home from the moment you walk in.

What makes this property unique

Our apartments are definitely more than just "a rental"; we have created an atmosphere of "home" in all of them and they are filled with lots of the personal touches that we appreciate in places we stay and want to offer our guests.
Our building sits right in the centre of the village but is unique in still having a small field in front of it which sets off the view of The Matterhorn in spectacular fashion.
