Château de Berne

I stayed here here as part of an Eat Pray Move retreat and loved it! We enjoyed the property and did day trips as well. Beautiful property and service! My room was beautiful, the pool was excellent for swimming laps, the breakfast buffet was amazing with something for everyone. I loved the detox juices, fresh strawberries, and dates with an espresso while many raved about the chocolate croissants. We hiked around the property with coniferous trees, a waterfall and place to dip our feet, vineyards… all so healing and beautiful. My massage at the spa was excellent. The dinners were delicious. Fresh towels and water appeared in my room without ever seeing anyone deliver them! I would return happily and would likely use the bicycles.

Un des endroits les plus authentique que nous ayons eu la chance de voir. Et si vous rentrez dans les détails, ça prends une dimension mythique. Pas assez de superlatif pour décrire notre expérience.

Nous avons passé une excellente journée et avons reçu une brève présentation de l'hôtel à notre arrivée. Une bouteille de rosé nous attendait dans la chambre. Nous avons dîné au restaurant Michelin et pris des cocktails au bar. Le château viticole est très beau, il est recommandé d'y arriver en voiture. La literie peut être améliorée. J'ai également trouvé une poubelle non vidée dans les toilettes. Dans l’ensemble, c’était une bonne expérience.

We stayed for 2 nights to celebrate my birthday and it was a truly unforgettable experience! So so relaxing and overall just amazing! The food, the gardens of the hotel - everything was great! We would definitely come back! The service was just the best! What really touched me is that we left a film camera behind and the hotel found it and sent it to us by post! It just meant so so much to us!

The hotel is located in a stunning area — surrounded by nature, with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. We really enjoyed the grounds: there’s a vineyard, a lovely (though cold) pool, a tennis court, and plenty of relaxing spaces. The property itself is definitely a highlight. One thing we especially appreciated was the bedding — the pillows, duvets, and mattress were absolutely perfect. However, we felt the value for money wasn’t quite there. The à la carte dinner and bar were overpriced. The massage we tried in SPA didn’t feel worth it either. The main pool looked great but was always ice-cold — we hardly saw anyone swimming. It’s a shame, as it could have been such a nice spot to enjoy. There were also some small issues with service. For example, our restaurant booking wasn’t passed on by the manager, so there was confusion when we arrived (though we were eventually seated). Also, room doors had poor soundproofing — noise from the hallway was quite loud. Finally, we only found out about the hotel’s activity schedule when we were checking out — no one told us at check-in, so we missed it completely. Overall, it’s a beautiful place with great potential, incredibly comfortable beds, and relaxing surroundings — but the experience didn’t fully match the high price for restaurant and service.

Beautiful restoration of a grand old building where the old was kept and modern added with great style. Would have loved more time to fully enjoy this beautiful Chateau and surrounds.
