Villa Toscane
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Villa Toscane is worth booking if you want a central Montreux base near the lake promenade and the train station at well under half the price of the grander hotels. Skip it if you expect hot breakfast or a classic front desk in the same building.

This is the pick for travellers who want Montreux on a tighter budget. It suits people arriving by train, since guests say the station and bus stops are close, and anyone who plans to spend time walking the lake promenade.
It is less suited to guests who want everything under one roof. Reception is in the building across the street, and breakfast is served at a partner hotel. If that sounds like a hassle, look at our other two picks.
Location and getting around
Villa Toscane is at Rue du Lac 2/8, in Montreux City Centre. Guests rate the location 8.9 out of 10 and mention the lake promenade, the train station and bus stops as being near.
The main sights on our list are not close. Our walking times are straight-line estimates. Chillon Castle is about 3.5 km away, roughly 44 minutes on foot. Musée Jenisch is about 5 km, around 63 minutes. Swiss Vapeur Parc is about 7.2 km, around 90 minutes. All three are far for a walk, so plan on public transport or a taxi.
Parking is not listed in the data, so ask the hotel if you are driving.
What guests say
The score is 8.1 out of 10 from 1,809 reviews. That puts it at joint position 5 of 7 among the hotels we compared, so this is not the top-rated option in town.
Staff are described as friendly and helpful. The setup is less tidy: reception sits across the street from the rooms.
Breakfast draws the most comment. It is served at the partner hotel, which guests say has lake views, but the standard spread lacks hot options. The listed styles are continental and buffet.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €134.46 per night, about €269 for two nights. That is 38% below the sample median of €216.09. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, Autograph Collection, scored 8.8 with 4 stars at €271.14 a night. Our Luxury pick, Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, scored 9.1 with 5 stars at €597.12 a night. Villa Toscane costs about half the first and under a quarter of the second. You give up some score and the comfort of a single building.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Montreux. Villa Toscane took the Budget slot because it had the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice was set aside.
It earns its place through a strong location score, a long review history and a facilities list that includes a gym, spa, pool, restaurant, family rooms and terrace.
Before you book
