Antikes Chalet mit moderner Technik
Als Grossfamilie mit 2 Familienautos brauchten wir auf dem grossen Parkplatz mit enger Zufahrt mehrere Anläufe. Eine kleine Willkommensüberraschung versüsste uns die Ankunft. Die komplett eingerichtete Küche (sichtbare Gebrauchsspuren) ermöglichte uns problemloses Kochen, backen und grillieren. Ventilatoren in jedem Zimmer und vorbereitete Mückenstecker waren sehr wertvoll. Diverse Früchte im Garten zum ernten und essen vorhanden. Der Garten ist eher naturbelassen. Ausreichend Platz für einen Rückzug für jeden, Tischtennisplatte mit Zubehör, diverse Ballspiele und Spielzeug für den Kleinsten draussen, sowie Spiele für Gross und Klein für drinnen. Bad mit Dusche in beiden Wohnungen auf sehr engem Raum, sonst ausreichend grosse Zimmer. Unkomplizierter, sehr freundlicher und unaufdringlicher Kontakt mit Vermieter. Jederzeit erreichbar. Knapp 10 Minuten Laufen zur Promenade, Badestellen, Einkauf etc Ruhige Gegend, wenig Autos.

Altes charmantes Chalet mit Saunahaus im Garten.
Es hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Die Nähe zu den Skigebieten Hasliberg und Grindelwald bietet Abwechslung. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Die Badezimmer müssten renoviert werden.

Family getaway
Our family rented this property as we wanted to spend a week in the Berner Oberland. It was perfect for the six of us. The house met all of our needs and we enjoyed spending time in Brienz as well as traveling to surrounding areas. Communication with the owner was excellent. We highly recommend this property!

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.
