A well-considered apartment where the terrace becomes a second living room
The R Apartment occupies 75 square metres in a residential building on Dorfstrasse 78 in Geroldswil, a quiet municipality that sits at the edge of the Limmat Valley between Zurich and the Zugerberg hills. The layout is straightforward and uncluttered: light-toned walls, clean-lined furniture, and full-height windows that pull in natural light throughout the day. The terrace extends the living space outdoors, offering a sitting area with open views over the surrounding neighbourhood and toward the wooded slopes beyond.
Geroldswil itself is a low-key, residential village with genuine local character. The Dorfstrasse address places you within easy reach of a local bakery, a supermarket, and the S-Bahn station, from which Zurich HB is roughly 18 minutes by direct train. The area is popular with cyclists and walkers — the Limmat riverside path and the forested trails climbing toward Zugerberg are both accessible without a car.
The apartment accommodates up to seven guests across its bedrooms, making it a practical base for families, colleague groups, or friends travelling together. The kitchen is fully equipped for home cooking, and the dining area handles a full group comfortably. For guests arriving by electric vehicle, a dedicated EV wallbox is available directly at the property — a feature that remains rare among short-term rentals in the region.
Elevate Schweiz GmbH manages the property with a focus on responsive communication and well-maintained interiors. Linen, towels, and the basics for your first morning are provided. Whether you are here for a Zurich business trip that benefits from the quieter surroundings, a family gathering that needs more space than a city hotel, or a longer stay to explore the lake country between Zurich and Zug, the apartment is set up to function well from the first evening to the last morning.
75 square metres of considered, minimal living — terrace, open-plan interiors, and natural light throughout the day in Geroldswil, Switzerland.
Dedicated electric vehicle wallbox at the property. Charge overnight or while you are out — rare for a short-term rental in this region.
Fibre-connected WiFi throughout the apartment including the terrace area. Reliable for remote work, video calls, and streaming simultaneously.
Dedicated parking space at the building for guest use. Covered or open-air depending on availability — confirm at booking.
Hob, oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and a complete set of cookware and utensils. Stocked with the basics for your first morning.
Exclusive-use terrace with outdoor seating for the full group of seven. Open views toward the hillside — reserved for guests of this apartment only.
Hotel-grade bed linen and bath towels provided for all guests. Freshly laundered and replaced between every stay at no additional charge.
Heating system throughout the apartment to keep interiors comfortable across Swiss seasons, from warm summer evenings to cold winter nights.
In-unit washing machine available for guest use. Useful for longer stays or groups packing light across a multi-city Switzerland itinerary.
Full-height windows throughout the main living areas. Window coverings for privacy and blackout sleeping are included in each bedroom.
Geroldswil S-Bahn station is a short walk from the apartment. Direct service to Zurich HB in approximately 18 minutes, running frequently.
The central living and dining space spans the width of the apartment, with direct access to the terrace through glass doors. Natural light fills the room from morning through late afternoon. Seats the full group of seven at the dining table.
The terrace extends the living space outdoors with seating for the full group. Oriented to catch afternoon and evening sun, it overlooks the neighbourhood and the hillside beyond. A genuine second room from spring through autumn.
The largest sleeping room, with a double bed, full wardrobe storage, and a window that brings in morning light. Quiet position within the apartment, away from the main living and kitchen activity.
Additional bedrooms configured to accommodate the remaining guests up to the total capacity of seven. Each room has dedicated storage and is finished in the same clean, light-toned palette as the rest of the apartment.
A complete kitchen with hob, oven, refrigerator, and all the cookware and utensils needed for preparing meals for the full group. Laid out for practical use rather than show, with adequate counter space.
A clean, well-maintained bathroom serving the apartment. Towels and linen are included with each stay. Finished in neutral tones that match the minimal character of the rest of the apartment.
You arrive on Dorfstrasse and notice the residential calm immediately — tree-lined street, low traffic, the kind of neighbourhood where someone has actually planted a garden. The EV wallbox is right there at the building, so you plug in before you even bring the bags upstairs. The apartment door opens onto a light interior: pale walls, clean surfaces, afternoon sun coming through the full-height windows.
Morning starts slowly. Someone brews coffee in the fully equipped kitchen while others claim spots on the terrace. The view carries across rooftops and toward the wooded hillside — the Zugerberg ridge is visible on clear days. Breakfast outside becomes the default. The S-Bahn station is a short walk, so whoever has a Zurich meeting simply heads out on foot while the rest of the group makes plans at their own pace.
Afternoons open up depending on what the group wants. The Limmat cycling path runs along the valley floor and connects to a network of marked trails. Zurich city centre is 18 minutes by train — enough time for a gallery, a market, or lunch in the Langstrasse quarter before returning to the quiet of Geroldswil. Drivers can reach Lake Zug in around 20 minutes, or follow the road up toward the Zugerberg forest park for a proper walk among spruce and beech.
By evening the terrace earns its keep. The group reassembles, the kitchen handles a proper dinner for seven, and the table fills up. The apartment holds a full group without feeling cramped — there is enough separation between spaces that not everyone has to be doing the same thing at the same time. Geroldswil goes quiet early, and that turns out to be exactly right.
6 minutes by foot
Direct S-Bahn service to Zurich HB runs frequently throughout the day. Reach the city centre in 18 minutes without touching a car.
10 minutes by foot
A well-maintained riverside path running along the Limmat. Flat and scenic, it connects Geroldswil to surrounding villages and Zurich's outer districts.
22 minutes by car
Spruce and beech forest rising above the canton boundary with marked trails and panoramic views stretching to the Alps on clear days.
20 minutes by car
The lakeside promenade in Zug city offers waterfront walking, good restaurants, and a well-preserved medieval old town directly on the water.
The cycling route along the Limmat connects Geroldswil to Zurich and beyond without a single car interaction. What to bring, where to stop, and why the return trip feels shorter than it should.
Twenty minutes south by car and you are standing at a different kind of Swiss lake: the old town of Zug on one side, the Alps visible across the water on the other. A straightforward day trip that rarely disappoints.
Zurich hotel prices have continued to climb. Meanwhile, a growing number of visitors are discovering that a quiet address in the Limmat Valley — with an 18-minute train ride in — delivers more space, better sleep, and genuine neighbourhood character.
