To come to my house you will need a car ! Then you will find an havenly and peacefully countryside where the time seems to have stop. My house is near Broc (5min with the car to the chocolaterie Cailler and the cheese factory) and near Bulle city, Charmey and Gruyère village (10min with your car). You have a private bathroom next to the room with an italian shower. My house is next to the Gruyere lake, 5 min on foot. There is a small beach. I have two small dogs. They both are very friendly. So we are looking for pet guests lover. An other particularity is that your shoes stay at the entrance, a bit like in Asia. We have slippers for you waiting. To eat there are many wonderful restaurants 5-10min away with your car. Please: do not eat meals inside the room. There is no kitchen with the room. You have a private terrace outside and the lac is 10min on walk distance. You can of course eat /drink snacks, chocolate, fruits, tee, coffee,... In Summer time, we have a swinming pool (5.5m long and 3m large, 1.25m wide) available for you too. If you are look with me there is a possibility to go hiking in the montain or fishing with someone local (for additional cost). Photoshoot and hypnose, kinesiologie session is also possible (for additional cost). Last minute ask are welcome but of course if you book in adavance you will be sure to have your unique and amazing adventure. We have a local grocery store that sells everything : standard and fine food.
I am an optimist and open minded person. Always smiling and in a good mood. I used to work in an tourism office a long time ago. So let’s see if I remember my first job well 😉 Now I m working for myself : I am a kinesiologie - hypnose - Rmti therapist and I also have a photo company and still do some pictures if you want it. I love to travel and to learn about everything that I am interessed. We learn our all live. We are dogs lovers : we have two small dogs (a Jack Russell and a Coton du Tuleair) living with us. So no more pets are allowed to respect them.
We are 5 min walk distance to Gruyère lac, just down the little path. We are 5 min with the car to the chocolaterie and cheese factory (in Broc) We are 10 min away with your car from Bulle city, Charmey, la Berra, le Moleson. We are 10min away with the car from Les bains de Gruyère (spa, hot water pool) We are 10min with your car from Golf de la Gruyère in Pont-la-Ville where Charly the pro can provide you with private lessons.
