Availability & Prices
  • Schloss Schadau is a wonderfully elegant 200 year old manor house which offers old world charm and atmosphere, friendly staff, a lovely restaurant and a very romantic setting by Lake Thunersee, just south of Bern in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland region.

    ACCOMMODATION:

    It has a choice of accommodation from small double rooms to suites ranging in size from 18 to 44 m². The larger suites and rooms have a balcony and some terrific views over the lake and mountains, with the best value perhaps being the ‘Deluxe Room with Balcony’ which is only marginally smaller than the suites and has equally good views.

    The entire hotel is unashamedly old style, and the decor of the rooms, and the common areas, reflects this. They may have modern hotel features; cable TV and WiFi, satin sheets and Weseta linens etc. but nothing distracts much from the very charming late 19th-early 20th century ambience.

    Note: The accommodation is for over 18s only.

    PRICES:

    Check out all the details – prices, reviews and more photos – on the booking page here.

    FACILITIES & THING TO DO:

    There is a very fine restaurant at Schadau Castle where you’ll find modern interpretations of classic Franco-Mediterranean cuisine. It is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon teas and snacks, and dinner, and both the service and the food are consistently excellent.

    The food can be enjoyed in the elegant old dining hall or, weather permitting, outside on the lovely terrace overlooking Lake Thunersee and/or you can also arrange food parcels for private picnics around the castle’s beautiful grounds.

    The hotel bar is relaxed and friendly and has an extensive wine list as well as other drinks including a range of special sherries and port wines. There is also a guest lounge area on the first floor which offers complimentary drinks, coffee, tea and fruit etc. all day.

    There are many simple, peaceful pleasures to be enjoyed around Schloss Schadau; just wandering around the gardens and the lake, swimming or other water sports, taking a boat trip or enjoying a picnic. Guests also have free access to spa and wellness facilities at the nearby Hotel Seepark, a two minutes walk away.

    LOCATION:

    Schadau Castle is in the charming little town of Thun which sits on the River Aare at the northern end of Lake Thun, and is known as the gateway to Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland region as well as the Alps. It is a historic town and particularly famous for its castle which dates back to the 12th century and has commanding views over the lake and the surrounding mountains.

    Lake Thun draws many visitors in summer, it is one of Switzerland’s largest and there you can enjoy all kinds of water sports, as well as some very inspiring scenery. The nearest city is Switzerland’s capital, Bern, less than half hour by car or 20 minutes by train, just to the north.

    SOME HISTORY:

    Schadau Castle and its surroundings have a history dating back to 1348, when Schadau House was mentioned for the first time in writing. During that time it was a relatively ordinary building before it was rebuilt in 1638 as an aristocratic manor house.

    The present structure though belongs to the 19th century when, in 1852, its then owner, Denis Alfred de Rougemont, having previously created landscaped English style gardens in the grounds, decided to build a suitably grand Neo-Gothic style castle to go with them.

    The park gardens began to open to the public in the late 19th century and became a popular weekend day-out for the people of Thun. So much so that most of the grounds were eventually sold to Thun town council which then converted it into a public park, while the castle saw use as a private house, and in times of war, as a military museum and sanitary station.

    The castle underwent restoration at various points in the last hundred years with the last one being from 2017 to 2019 before which it had already seen years of service as a hotel. To keep a delicate historical building in line with modern hotel standards while still preserving its historical nature is a very tricky business but thankfully Schloss Schadau seems to have got it right, and it remains a charmingly atmospheric place.

    REVIEWS:

    “Felt like a queen in my castle! Simply amazing…Location and views cannot be beat! LOVED!…”

    “Gorgeous location, friendly staff, lovely outdoor restaurant, fantastic original Neo-Gothic architecture and very aesthetic renovations….”

    Switzerland
    The spectacular Château Gütsch is a Lucerne, Switzerland, landmark  — a fairytale like, 19th century folly castle, it sits high on a hilltop with stunning views over the city and Lake Lucerne. The setting is peaceful and isolated but the hotel has its own historical funicular which runs from 4.30am until 1.15am and so guests can come and go to the city in a matter of minutes. THE ACCOMMODATION: They have a choice of 31 spacious rooms and suites at Chateau Gutsch with the rooms, both doubles and triples, being pretty much identical except for the view. There is an extra premium for the ‘Lake View’ rooms which have those magnificent views over the city and the lake from their windows, while the others have views of the surrounding forest. Then there are the Junior and Deluxe suites both of which are really quite beautiful and, if budget allows, worth the extra. They have those tremendous views too and are lavishly decorated. The Junior suites cover around 40 m², and the Deluxe 73 m², but what makes the deluxe the real show stealers is their huge terrace, 82 m² of it, even larger than the suite itself.

    Address: Chemin de Beau-Rivage 21

    Switzerland
    Most Famous Guests: Victor Hugo, Charlie Chaplin, Coco Chanel. The 5 star Beau Rivage Palace sits in 10 acres of its own private gardens on the shores of Lake Geneva, Lausanne, and has stunning views across the lake and of the French Alps beyond. The hotel itself, including its spacious and elegant rooms and suites, is equally stunning and the entire experience is one which will satisfy even the most discerning of luxury hotel aficionados. It has four restaurants to choose from all of which are excellent quality but with one particularly stealing the show; the 2 Michelin starred Anne-Sophie Pic at Beau-Rivage Palace. Add to that some chic bars and lounges, some very opulent Cinq Mondes spa facilities, tennis courts, swimming pools, hot tubs, and from beginning to end extremely high levels of service, and it becomes easy to understand why Beau Rivage Palace is one of Switzerland’s very best luxury hotels. It is also a place of great historical and political importance with, on 24 July 1923, the Treaty of Lausanne being signed here and, in April 2015, negotiations on the Iran nuclear deal framework taking place with foreign ministers from Iran, the U.S.A. and the European Union amongst others.

    Château de Mathod, near Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland, is a very charming and special place. A recognized historical monument, it was once the home of the Swiss artist Louis Rivier and has been in the same family for seven generations now. They have a luxury B&B guest suite at the chateau which is beautifully renovated and decorated, and though having all modern comforts still retains a tangible sense of history. The property also has some beautifully landscaped gardens, including a swimming pool, which guests are welcome to explore and enjoy. ACCOMMODATION: The chateau is the private home of your hosts but they also rent a single 30 m² (320 square foot) one double bedroom suite adjacent to the main building.

This cute, very romantic place is named in his honour as “Suite Louis Rivier”, though as you will see, it is listed in more modest terms as ‘Queen Room with Garden View’ on the booking.com page here. It has its own independent entrance, a rustic style double bedroom and a modern kitchen and bathroom. There is also an outdoor READ MORE
