About this accommodation

At Bijou Loft, you stay in a later addition to a former double farmhouse from the 17th century, combining modern comfort with historic chalet charm. The open layout, high living-area ceilings and carefully placed windows create a bright, airy atmosphere. Your private mini terrace overlooks the sunrise over Lake Thun. On the mezzanine beneath the sloping roof, you sleep in a 140 cm-wide double bed under low ceilings. There is also a cosy sofa, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining table with lake views and a modern bathroom with a shower. Merligen sits in a sheltered bay on Lake Thun, at the mouth of the Justistal valley.

You have full access to the entire loft and the mini-terrace. The lower and upper sections of the chalet are strictly private and not accessible to guests. The apartment can only be reached via an external staircase. Free public parking is available across the road, a few metres further up the street, as well as in various designated areas throughout the village.

  • Inside, a small flight of stairs leads up to the living and sleeping area.

The neighbourhood

Merligen is a charming lakeside village on Lake Thun, known for its mild, almost Mediterranean climate thanks to its sheltered setting along the bay, at the foot of the Justistal and on the southern slope of the Niederhorn. The village sits directly on the shore and boasts expansive panoramas across the lake to Mount Niesen.
