"The highlight of our visit was Verena herself who made us feel so comfortable. She was a most gracious host who personally welcomed us at the door. Her guesthouse is beautiful, meticulously cared for, and very comfortable. Her breakfasts were delicious. especially her personally-prepared bacon and eggs as well as local products. Her Swiss dinners were exquisite."
