Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
This was our second time at Chalet Balthazar and we already considered our second home in the beautiful Switzerland and I hope to be a family tradition to be there every year.
First, the team of Chalet Balthazar, David & Zany and their support people makes your visit smooth, informed, secure and extremely easy as you can reach them any time and they will respond immediately, the communication flows easy before the trip, during and after !
Second, Chalet Balthazar location is unbeatable! 2 minutes walking to the train & tram & bus station; walking distance to the “Boulangerie”, Migros (the supermarket), pharmacy, the skating ring which now has a great SPA, indoor and outdoor pools, kids activities.
Third, the place has all you need. It’s beautifully decorated, warm, cozy; confortable beds and pillows, ample rooms with their bathroom, washer and drier, a well equipped kitchen, a modern TV, a small nice terrace and the internet runs very well.
For me, is now “home”.
Thank you David & Zany for making our stay a wonderful dream. I am sure we will be back !

Excellent conditions. Extremely clean and well organised. Land lord is a very nice English gentleman that is very helpful and always available to lend a helping hand.
An absolute must to consider if your interested in staying in the Villars area. Balthazar is strategically located in the middle of the village and about 50 meters away from the train and bus station.
Environment of the Chalet is very peaceful and serene with some amazing views on the opposing high peaks of the Valais and French Alps. The Chalet comes with different flat sizes and prices.
All necessary shopping and services are around you and all can be done by foot. Some excellent restaurants are also nearby and a car is not a necessity!

An excellent property that is located very centrally, supported by a very responsive host and a great team behind them.
Stayed at Chalet Balthazar's one bed apartment for a month. A very central location next to the railway station and the market square which was alive with entertainment and a nice bar. The apartment was nicely furnished with all the necessary modcons. The host is very responsive and resolved issues and requests that I had very quickly.

We stayed recently at Chalet Balthazar whilst skiing in the Swiss special Olympics. Chalet Balthazar was prefect for us and our daughter - positioned perfectly right by the train going up the mountain, central also to the shops and cafes, a beautiful and clean Swiss style accomodation with good parking. Can't recommend Chalet Balthazar enough and hope to go back and stay again in the near future. Best regards, Caryl, Lorenz and Pearl

We decided to book Chalet Balthazar for a company get together and it was an excellent choice, the chalet was very well presented and equipped. Importantly it also had a very reliable and fast internet connection and we all loved the open log fire - quite rare these days.
However our trip was very memorable for another reason - the owners of the chalet could not do enough for us. As we were all busy working as well as skiing; they booked restaurants, ski guides, provided assistance and advice on equipment for cross country skiing and booked an evening adventure to the best mountain restaurant I have ever been to in over 35 years of skiing, the trip was worth it just for that.

We recently rented apartment 5 - (the penthouse) at Chalet Balthazar at the end of July. The apartment was perfect in every way, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, full kitchen with a washing machine. What is really evident is the quality of the furnishings in the apartment. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are perfectly equipped- even the bath towels are thick and soft. Lots of light and character throughout. The balconies offer great views of the Dents du Midi across the valley. We spent hours there enjoying the sun and views. Location is perfect, just 3 minutes to the train station as well as the bakery and grocery store. Even though we were in the middle of town it was surprisingly quiet at night. Well except one night when the Swiss were celebrating the national holiday and partying late into the night - who knew? It was well worth it though and the fireworks from our balcony were great. I think we had the best seats in town. We are planning to return to the Chalet Balthazar next year, it was that good.

My family and I enjoyed a week over the summer. Spacious, clean, well equipped and very relaxing. In the heart of the village with easy access to transport, sports and shopping facilities which are all within walking distance. No need for a car once you get there. Worth every penny

The train station is 100 meters away. This station also serves as the basis for the rail that takes you to the main mountain (Bretaye) where all ski begins.
There is a ski rental shop at 30 meters from the chalet.
Overall, the Chalet's location is its greatest advantage.

"There's no swimming pool or fitness centre in CB although good facilities are available in the village. Why no n/a button here on Trip Advisor? Cannot zero it out either! Frustrating!!"
There are more places to choose from in the Villars-sur-Ollon area.
