Auberge aux 4 Vents

Nestled in an enchanting setting, the Auberge Aux 4 Vents welcomes you, offering seven charming rooms, all housed within the historic 18th-century manor house.

Each room is thoughtfully decorated, offers views of the park, and is stylishly complemented by a contemporary artistic element. A separate annex expands the offering, ideal for families or a stay with friends. The blooming terrace invites you to spend relaxing moments outdoors.

The Grandfey estate is characterized by impressive, centuries-old trees. Among them stand two majestic 'Feys' – from the Latin 'fagus', meaning beech – which gave the place its name. The extensive park includes a French garden, an orchard, and a woodland area that stretches down to the meanders of the Saane river and Lake Schiffenen.

Across more than four hectares, there are also several sculptures created specifically for this site. The blooming, meticulously maintained park, through which a publicly accessible path leads, offers a magnificent view of the city of Fribourg, its cathedral, and the Pre-Alps.
