Whether for romantic togetherness, decelerated regeneration or creative zest for action - this exceptional location in the Matte in the heart of Bern, directly on the Aare, opposite the BärenPark, offers 100 m2 of comfortable, sun-drenched space for relaxation, work, meetings and creative inspiration. - High-quality sleeping comfort for 2 people (double bed) - Sofa bed in separate room for additional overnight accommodation (2 persons) - Sunny terrace directly on the Aare with a view of the BärenPark - Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine - Spacious bathroom with rain shower - Possibility for workplace/study room/meeting room (WLAN) - Fireplace - Dogs are also very welcome
The beautiful Old Town (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Bern Cathedral, the Federal Palace and various museums and theaters are just a few minutes' walk away. In summer, swimming in the Aare is a very special experience. Just a few meters from the terrace, there is an easy entry point for swimmers, from where you can float downstream for at least 20 minutes on an AareBag to the Lorrainebad.
