“Nestled atop Mount Bré, this family-owned B&B offered what seemed like the sunniest spot in Switzerland, and spacious rooms that were ideal. Breakfast clearly had that homemade touch using the freshest ingredients, served in their cozy restaurant; a lovely place from which to discover the area, assuming you have a car.”
