Es gibt viele Unterkünfte in Clarens, aber kein besseres Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Wir waren begeistert von der Unterkunft von Mercia - vorallem von dem wunderbaren Frühstück. Mercia verwöhnte uns jeden Morgen aufs Neue mit leckeren Kreationen, die sie aufs Schönste arrangiert mit... read more Blumen und Tischgedeck. Ich habe mich jeden Tag schon auf das Frühstück gefreut. Clarens ist ein herausragendes Reiseziel in den Bergen mit viel Kunst, Cafés, Restaurants und anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Menschen waren freundlich und einladend.

PS: Der Golfpatz ist auch hervorragend!
