Our “Bijou Niesenblick” is located in an old, typical Swiss chalet on 2 floors.

The space
The apartment has a double bedroom upstairs and another small bedroom (on request) with 2 single beds. The apartment can accommodate 3-4 people (additional cost from 3rd person).

In the basement is the living room with a comfortable sofa and two armchairs so you can rest and relax in front of the great fireplace.
The kitchen is authentic and practical. The dining table can accommodate a maximum of 4 people.

On the mezzanine floor you will find a renovated, beautiful bathroom with a spacious shower.

From the living room and bedroom you have direct access to a balcony. Here you have a breathtaking view of Lake Thun and the surrounding mountains.

The chalet (former double farmhouse) was built in 17th century and later built in and out. This is an older apartment.

Guest access
Free public parking can be found on the opposite side of the street or a few meters above the apartment.

The apartment is only accessible via an external staircase. The apartment is divided into two floors: in the lower part there is the kitchen, the living room and the bathroom. The two bedrooms are located on the upper floor.

The lower and upper part of the building is private. We ask you to respect this. Thank you! :)

Other things to note
** GOOD TO KNOW **

**
We ask you to provide correct information on the number of people travelling. From the 3rd person, the price increases accordingly.

When occupied by 2 people, not all bedrooms are accessible, as the price is reduced accordingly. Please let us know if you need the extra room,

**
Unfortunately, we cannot make a washing machine available.

**
The apartment does not have air conditioning. For hot days, however, you have various Fans ready to make you as comfortable as possible.

**
Luggage storage before and after check-out is not possible unfortunately.

**
🚿 Please note bathroom use
Please make sure that no water gets to the floor outside the shower area. Our bathrooms are not designed for water to run all over the floor.
Be sure to install your own hoses or attachments – this is not allowed and will automatically incur a cost assumption by the guest in the event of damage.

If water goes next to it, please wipe up immediately to avoid damage.

Note: Damage due to improper use (e.g. flooding, water damage to the floor or furniture, and unauthorized installations) will be charged to you in full.

Insects 🐞 Note – Nature Included 💚
Our apartments are located in some of the most beautiful natural regions of Switzerland – on the lake, in the mountains or surrounded by greenery.
With this special location, it can happen from time to time that even small visitors from nature show up. ☀️

Despite thorough and regular cleaning, insects such as mosquitoes, spiders or bugs may get lost in the apartment – especially in summer or when windows are open.

For your comfort we provide insect spray and – where possible – screens.
Please note: This is not a sign of lack of cleanliness, but is simply part of it when you have nature right outside the door. 🌿

If you love nature, you will feel comfortable with us.
If you want an absolutely insect-free environment, a city hotel might be the better choice. 😉

Thank you for understanding and a wonderful stay! 💛
