Villa Vals is an incredible house built in an Alpine slope within a walking distance to thermal springs of Therme Vals, Switzerland. French windows and the patio with slightly inclined viewing angle offer a stunning view over a mountainous landscape with a narrow valley in front. The interior is designed in a minimalistic manner with an extensive usage of natural materials, and the whole building is meant to fit unobtrusively into the beautiful scenery around. The price for a week stay at Villa Vals ranges from $2,500 to $4,700 depending on the season.

Can you imagine living in the house that looks like a hill, like some hobbit or Teletubby? Look at the Hill House built by Tasmanian architect Andrew Maynard in Melbourne, Australia.
