    Fabulous. Comfortable for two. Loved the balcony and the natural garden. Loved being close to the ramparts on a stunning typically picturesque street. The location is a few metres to shops and restaurants. Christian was a warm and welcoming...

    Amazing location, super cosy and functional apartment right in the old town (hence the name 😉) My only regret is that we didn't stay more than 1 night to take in more of the town. I am very much planning to return here in the future!

Property information

Once upon a time… The Old Town Flats are situated in the medieval town Murten by the lovely lake of Murten. As soon as you enter this little town, protected by a curtain wall, you will find yourself in a quiet Mediterranean atmosphere. Goethe, Casanova, Napoleon or the Dukes of Savoy they have all passed by in Murten and the Old Town Flats are located next to the birthplace of Jeremias Gotthelf, a famous Swiss writer.

Neighbourhood information

Located in an open valley, between the Jura and Fribourg Alps, we benefit from the most sunshine in this area. The region offers an incredible amount for all needs, and this during all seasons: not only the relaxed life by the lake, but also various international and national music festivals in different styles, the annual light festival and other local events as well as sporting events such as the SlowUp, the Triathlon, etc., as well as the beautiful hiking and biking trails make the region very exciting and worth experiencing. In summer we swim, sail, surf, paddle or just relax and enjoy an excellent glas of wine from the nearby vineyards. Around Lake Murten there are many bathing possibilities with enough parking places to enjoy the cool water. Murten and its surroundings are not only beautiful, but also safe: this is also one of the reasons why some well-known personalities live in the immediate neighborhood. Via Munich you can reach Murten in 455, via Nice in 590, via Zurich in 150 and from Geneva in only 130km.
