The day begins at a set table.
Breakfast on a tiered stand. Served at your table, not collected from a buffet. And time. Above all, time.
Breakfast
Bread from a baker who still bakes it himself.
Cheese from the neighbourhood. Eggs the way you like them. Fruit that actually tastes like fruit. Coffee, for as long as you'd like.
Served at your table — outside in good weather, with the view across the meadows.
And time. Above all, time.
In the evening
A glass on the terrace, when the light is at its best.
Afterwards, a seat by the fire, a conversation, a digestif. No one watches the clock.
Our restaurant recommendations
Our own kitchen stays cold in the evenings, for now. But we know exactly where you’ll eat well.
This isn’t a researched list. These are places we sit at ourselves on our days off — from the inn a hundred metres away to starred kitchens on the lake.
Tell us what you’re in the mood for over breakfast. We’ll reserve the table for you.
