We booked through deindeal.ch and weren't really sure what to expect. Well, we were thrilled with everything. The place is lovely, really away from the crowds of tourists in zermatt and with stunning views. The room was great, nice and spacious with really comfy beds. The spa facilities were very welcome after a days hiking although the pool and spa... More

We were part of a hiking group and we all stayed in this hotel. We stayed in the hotel for about 7 days. The hotel owners and staffs are really friendly and helpful. We felt like we are part of the family. The location of hotel is in Furi which is the first stop for the Gondola ride from Zermatt.... More

now travelling alone I have found "single" accommodation to be generally poor and overpriced but the Silvana was neither. Excellent room with sunny balcony. Although the only British guest staying at the time, had no language difficulties and both the owners and staff were very friendly. Food was of a high standard off an albeit limited menu and I had...

Stayed here as part of a small group hiking tour. The location is incredible, as it's very convenient to many hiking trails, and its out-of-town location means it's very quiet. It's surrounded only by a few other chalets and fields of wildflowers. The food is quite tasty, with generous portions, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The whirlpool... More

Stayed in hotel during summer with 2 kids. Overall this hotel offers really good price-quality. Location: - fantastic if you like quiet. One can start hiking directly from the hotel as it is the last building in hamlet Furi on 1900 m - about 300 yards uphill (not too steep, asphalt road) from gondola - which is open from around...

In August 2007 we made our second trip to Hotel Silvana. We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip in 1997. Traveling with our two young daughters this time around we were pleased that our second Hotel Silvana experience was even better than the first. This small hotel, literally nestled at the base of the Matterhorn, is a treat well worth the... More

Having not been to Zermatt before and hearing that hotel location is everything unless you like long walks with ski gear or overcrowed ski buses I wanted a hotel next to the lifts to make the most of the nights we were staying. This hotel is one better being situated at the top of the Furri gondola so you can... More

We stayed over New Years for a week. The hotel is in Furi well above Zermatt and one or two hundred yards from the tram-gondola. The hotel owner (Dany Biner) is a certified mountain guide (berg fuehrer); the rustic ambience of the place and its location makes it a particularly good choice for mountain sports enthusiasts. The public and private... More

Just spent 10 days at the Hotel Silvana. I highly recommend it. It is located in the village of Furi, just 1000 feet up from Zermatt, the first stop on the gondola. The views of the mountains are breathtaking (I had a room with balcony), as is the view of the valley below where Zermatt sits. Owners Dany and Felicitas... More
