nenufar, guest house - Doubs Regional Nature Park


Holidays "differently"?
Feet in the water, in the middle of nature?
Breathe, take a nap under a tree in the forest?
Live at your own pace, prepare your meals at the "singing" hours?
Be curious about a refined and tastefully decorated interior?
Drift over the water in your canoe?
Picnic on a small wild beach?
In the summer, swim in the river, right in front of the house?
Hope to see the splendid kingfisher?
Watching the light draw your dreams to the surface of the water?

.... nenufar is for you!

Welcome !
Our guest house is an old school, built in 1920 on the banks of the Doubs in Switzerland.

The sweetness of life and the suspended time ...

An idyllic setting
A parking space in front of the guest house
A small terrace for idleness
A private garden with washbasin, table, parasol and deck chairs

Swimming in the Doubs right in front of the holiday home - the most beautiful natural pool you can dream of! Firming effect guaranteed, given the relative coolness of the water temperature ...
Walks in a wild and preserved nature, VTT, fishing ...

Perfekt geeignet für ruhesuchende Naturliebhaber.
Ein ganz besonderer Ort mit liebvoller, stilvoller Einrichtung. Man merkt, dass die Besitzer Teile es Jahres selbst darin wohnen. Haus und Garten sind sehr großzügig. Das Kanufahren auf dem Fluss (Schwimmwesten sind genug vorhanden) ist wunderschön. Wir haben u.a. einen Eisvogel gesehen. Die Besitzer sind sehr nette, zuvorkommende Menschen.

Great place !
The house is beautiful, the owners are friendly and informative and the lake is magnificent. Take the canoe out to the lake, go for a hike or just enjoy the view - it is a unique place.

Natur, Ruhe, Wohlfühloase
Der Empfang der Besitzerin war charmant und unkompliziert. :) Das Haus ist ein Juwel an einem wunderschönen Fleckchen Erde am ruhig dahinfliessenden Doubs. Die Ruhe da ist einzigartig. Wir werden wiederkehren!
