This is a beautiful and spotlessly clean chalet, very well equipped and close to the lake, shops etc. Amazing walks up towards the mountains too. The town of Brienz has lots to do. Gabriele was so helpful with everything form helping us sort parking tickets and advising us where to go/do. The only slight negative is that our 6'3'' son couldn't stand up in the kitchen due to low ceiling height so beware if you are very tall. The other rooms had sufficient ceiling height but low door heights.

Loved Brienz, and yho home is on the heart of it. Be aware that of you are tall (6ft plus) you may not be comfortable living here. Our family referred to it as our "dollhouse", and a few doorways even I, at 5ft10in , needed to duck through. Well stocked, close to everything, responsive manager

Wir hatten sehr entspannte Tage in der Wohnung. Die Schlüsselübergabe hat gut geklappt, die Wohnung war sauber und mit den Holzöfen bereits eingeheizt. Die Küche ist gut eingerichtet und von Raclette über Käsefondue bis zum Rehrücken war alles möglich. Wir kommen gerne wieder

A nice and clean house in a beautiful location. We were warmly greeted by the hostess, and received a lot of information about all the activities that were available in the area. Compliments for the hospitality of the hostess. She was always there for us when we needed something. On Sunday we wanted to go to church and the hostess immediately checked whether this was possible. In summary, this stay is worth repeating. A., A. and L.

Wer dem ganzen Alltagsstress entsagen will, ist in dieser Unterkunft bestens aufgehoben. Kein TV, Radio und auch kein W-lan oder Internet. Dafür aber einen sehr schönen Blick auf den Brienzersee und auf die Bergwelt. Die Unterkunft bietet alles was man braucht. Wir haben, ohne Ausnahme, alle sehr gut geschlafen, die Wohnung war sehr sauber und wir haben uns heimisch gefühlt. Das Gebäude liegt sehr ruhig im historischen Zentrum von Brienz. Ganz großes Lob an den Gastgeber!

Herrliche Umgebung mit vielen verschiedenen Ausflugsmöglichkeiten, auch bei Regenwetter. Auch für Kinder gibt es viel zu entdecken. Dank NIchtvorhandensein von TV kamen die vorhandenen Spiele und Bücher mit Begeisterung zum Einsatz. Die Betreuung vor Ort war freundlich, zuverlässig, pflichtbewusst, unkompliziert und hilfsbereit.

Er is geen t.v. en geen wifi. Onbegrijpellijk in deze tijd.
