    A delightful apartment in a stunning region of Switzerland!

    Getting inside was a little tricky as we arrived after hours and there was some confusion about the key code that had been telephoned to me. Sending this by email or booking.com message would be a great help! There was a lack of privacy at one end of the balcony where it was overlooked by the car parking area. Perhaps a screen here would be nice? There were a few items missing from the kitchen which the hotel have taken note of. The hotel dinner menu was, typically of Switzerland very expensive so we only ate there on one occasion.

    We stayed for a short break in one of the Vieux Chalet's self-catering appartments. The appartment exceeded our expectations for size and comfort and was very quiet - despite the neighbouring building opposite. The bed was comfortable and all the fittings top notch. The balcony was huge and offers beautiful views to the lake below. You can hear the cowbells tinkling in the fields nearby. The hotel offer daily room service and a clean, plus free mineral water and coffee pods which was a lovely suprise! The apartments has full electric shutters for all the windows and offers easy access to the open car park. The fluffy towels and loo roll provided were also a real treat! We ate one dinner for our anniversary - which was in the hotel's public restaurant. A very charming space and a good range of dishes on the menu. We loved being close to Charmey village for use of the the thermal baths and had a glorious first day walking in the Jaun Valley nearby.

    Perfect location on an amazing spot! The views are incredible. I think it is a perfect place for a couple, but we were with our one year old and we felt also very welcome. Good food and parking right in front of the hotel. We stayed in a hotel room and the appartment. Both were very nice! Overall, a great stay, thank you!

    Beautiful place with cosy interior. All details of the decor have been carefully thought out. Tradition married with modern touch. The place is all what you would expect from the Swiss Alpine Chalet. 🙂 Great restaurant. We had a very nice dinner there. Food was delicious. Staff was very helpful and customer oriented. Looking forward to visit this place again 🙂

    Staff at check-in less friendly. Room a bit warm, even with window open. One of the blinds at the windows slightly broken, but no big deal because the exterior lamps switch off at 10pm.

    Beautiful view from the room. Rooms nicely designed and maintained. Very friendly lady at breakfast.

    The balcony is located on the side of the building, and so primarily looks onto the neighbouring house. However, you can still see the mountains and the lake on the side of the balcony. The breakfast was a bit chaotic; it was supposed to start at 8:00, but at 8:10 they were still busy setting it up despite multiple waiting guests. The woman serving it appeared frenzied and overworked.

    Beautiful location in the heart of Gruyère district. Very large apartment with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area and a comfortable sofa. It also has an enormous balcony. The bed is excellent; among the most confortable I have encountered on my trips.
