Le Vieux Manoir au Lac

Located 2.4km (1 1/2 miles) west of the town center (a 5-min. taxi ride from the train station), this is a gabled, stucco building in an idyllic setting. With a sun deck and balconies overlooking Lake Morat, this is the finest place to stay in the entire area. In the Belle Epoque era, a French military officer -- homesick for his native Normandy -- constructed this manor with the turrets and half-timbers of his homeland. Inside, the decor blends many periods and styles, with objects, such as Persian rugs, collected from all over the world. The nice-size bedrooms are comfortable and furnished with individual style and decor. Country prints abound, making for a cozy atmosphere, and the bedrooms open onto either a landscaped park or the lake.

The restaurant, which has a collection of antiques from around the region, serves excellent French cuisine.
