点评:Set off by itself in the the mountains of Jura, the Chateau is right out of a Swiss fairy tale (or The Sound of Music). We made the 2 hour trip from Zurich by private car. Built in 1595, the Chateau has been tastefully updated to the most modern standards. We stayed 3 nights in the spacious Junior Suite with large bedroom and spacious bath with shower and separate soaking tub (one of six rooms in the Chateau itself, 8 rooms are in an accessory building). Access to the second floor is by spiral staircase, which as one guest pointed out, is oriented so that when ascending one can grasp the rope with the left hand whilst carrying your weapon in the right. There are endless hiking trails in the area which in typical Swiss fashion are well marked. If you like animals you will feel right at home as the Chateau is part of a working farm replete with cows and goats. Also present are the friendly (as suits their mood) cats, Copain (pal in French) and Hazel, and farm dog Tschuppi (fluffy, who will happily lead you on a short walk up the road). But the best part of our stay was the gracious and friendly staff (managers Sydney and Timon, others) and the wonderful dining. Breakfast is a generous buffet (cooked breakfast also available) and dinner is a communal set 4-course affair with Timon explaining each farm to table course. There were 4 guests the first night, 6 the second, and a large company group of 18 was present on our final night (we had a private dining room with 2 other guests that evening). Service throughout the stay was professional and efficient.
翻译:这座城堡孤零零地矗立在汝拉山的群峰之中,宛如瑞士童话故事里才会出现的场景(或者就像《音乐之声》里的画面)。我们乘坐私家车从苏黎世出发,历经两小时才抵达。城堡建于1595年,之后又经过精心翻修,达到了最现代化的标准。我们入住的是宽敞的初级套房,里面有一间大卧室以及带淋浴和独立浴缸的宽敞浴室。这套房是城堡主体内的六间客房之一,另外还有八间客房位于附属建筑中。通往二楼需通过螺旋楼梯。正如一位客人所指出的,楼梯的设计很巧妙:上楼时,人们可以右手持武器,左手则能轻松抓住扶手。这一带有数不胜数的远足小径,它们都按照典型的瑞士方式被清晰地标记出来。如果你喜欢动物,一定会乐在其中,因为这座城堡实际上是一个仍在运作的农场,里面养着许多奶牛和山羊。此外,这里还有那些性格随和(视心情而定)的猫咪们相伴。Copain(法语中的“朋友”)和Hazel,还有农场犬Tschuppi(毛茸茸的,会乐意带你在附近小路上散步)。不过我们此次入住最美好的体验,莫过于热情友善的工作人员(经理Sydney和Timon以及其他人),还有美味的餐食。早餐是丰盛的自助餐(也可选择现做的热食);晚餐则是四人共享的固定菜单,由Timon逐一讲解每一道从农场直送餐桌的菜肴。第一晚有4位客人,第二晚则有6位。在我们最后那个晚上,有一个由18人组成的大型团体也光临了(当晚我们和另外两位客人共用一间私人餐厅)。整个入住期间,服务都十分专业且高效。
