La Pinte du Vieux Manoir nestles on the banks of Lake Morat, with its memorable sunsets. Its guestrooms are stunning: the ‘Glass Diamond’, a glazed lakeside room on stilts perched, almost hovering, amongst the tree tops, and the ‘Lake House’, every bit as original and exclusive. Franz W. Faehs’s eclectic cuisine is served in La Pinte du Vieux Manoir, a cosy, warmly lit restaurant. This region, in the heart of the canton of Freiburg, the Three Lakes and the Jura, is home to all that is special about Switzerland: lakes, mountains, chocolate, cheese and watches.
