Dip a toe in, enjoy a cocktail, or take a pedalo out on the water – bathing and swimming in Switzerland.

Beach towel spread in the shade of a linden tree, ice-cream in hand, and your gaze drinking in the expanse of water in front of you. Welcome to one of Switzerland's many local recreation areas, where you'll find great-value accommodation close to lakes and rivers. They're perfect for a quick weekend getaway or a relaxing vacation with family or friends. Many places offer stand-up paddleboards and pedalos for rent, for even more fun on the water.

Some hosts also offer their guests special experiences on or by the water. A dinner and a moonlight cruise, for example, hiking in combination with yoga, or a moonlight stroll to the waterfall. They're experiences that will be long remembered, and make a wonderful anniversary surprise, or gift idea for your lovely in-laws.

My Rose Garden

When the garden is most beautiful (the month of June), I invite guests every year to share with them the wealth of countless flowers in this stimulating environment. Both the historic and the English roses attract with their seductive fragrances. The climbing and rambler roses enchant the pavilions and provide a pleasant shade in which to linger.
