    Description

    Hello! We are Aline and Javier, a Swiss-Argentine couple who are renovating our house in the pre-Alps region of Switzerland, in the commune of Bonnefontaine, Fribourg. Our house is an old farm with a natural forest, stream, and a beautiful park for hiking and campfires. We are at the foot of the Fribourg Alps, 15 km from the center of La Berra ski resort, and 10 minutes from Lake Gruyere.
    Our house is located on the language border between French and German-speaking Switzerland.
    We offer a private room with a shared bathroom and varied food, from cheese fondue to Argentine barbecue with various nuances in between. We also offer wifi and bicycles.

    The languages we speak: Aline: English, German, Spanish, and French fluently.
