Résidences Kandahar

Such a cute apartment, with an absolutely breathtaking view.

Great views, and a good base for hiking and trails.

The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. We were lucky to have a balcony with a beautiful view over the valley. Still, it feels like the place has been falling into disrepair for about 10 years. Hopefully they'll renovate and give the apartments a new lease on life.

We paid CHF 1,840, but neither Ms. Henych nor e-domizil showed any willingness to accommodate us. We went home frustrated, with our vacation ruined and the money gone. In May 2021, we booked the 4.5-room apartment at the Résidence Kandahar in Aminona, near Crans-Montana, owned by Rita Henych. There were three of us and two dogs. After nearly four hours on the road, we didn't even unpack. We turned around and drove straight home. The place felt loveless, dirty, and squalid. The mattresses were filthy and had no protectors, and the pillows were uncovered, with brown and yellow stains. The kitchen was sticky, and the toilets hadn't been cleaned. The terrace had no table or chairs and was covered with cigarette butts, bottle caps, and other litter. The reception was empty, and the advertised sauna, indoor pool, and gym were all closed. The whole "residence" was run-down and creepy, in desperate need of renovation. We'd never encountered anything like this in another vacation rental.
