Company information

Personalized and full of character, the APARTMENT Au Soleil de Gruyères was created for you, dear guests from all over the world, who love what is out of the ordinary. Its host Chantal, inspired by Niki de St-Phalle and Gaudi, put all her heart into an arrangement of character in the idea of pampering you. Placed on a solid oak floor next to a rounded window opening, your massive beam bed is the work of a local craftsman. The exposed beams of the bedroom are among the oldest rooms in the house and date from the 13-15th century. The original floor in broad pine planks, the handcrafted mosaic credenza and the painted door color the kitchen-sofa space.
