Why they chose this property

My wife and I did fell in love with this traditional and beautiful chalet during Summer 2012. We decided to buy it and to rent it, after some renovations, and are doing this since 2014. We are definitely attached to this property and have spent countless hours in order to prepare it for guests coming from all over the world.

What makes this property unique

This chalet is a traditional house made of wood, decorated with style, so that every guest may enjoy an uplifting stay. The garden house with the finnish sauna provides a fantastic opportunity to relax and spend quality time, especially in winter. The views of the Lake of Brienz and of the mountains can be breathtaking.
