Villa Elfenau - Biel/Bienne

type of building: Detached house. size of property: 3195m². year of construction: 1862.Holidays in a listed building combines heritage conservation and tourism.

The idea is being realised by the "Ferien im Baudenkmal" foundation, which was set up by the Swiss Heritage Society in 2005.

Important addition: The "Villa Elfenau" is a historic house, a listed building. Although it is technically equipped to modern standards, we would like to point out that certain functional details such as window and door openers, stair handrails and step heights do not comply with current standards and could be a potential source of danger. The former fish ponds are not entirely safe for children. Access to the roof terrace is not permitted as the parapet does not meet current safety standards. The tenant is aware of these circumstances. The owner, e-domizil and the foundation Ferien im Baudenkmal disclaim any liability.

Further information about the house can be found on the website of the Stiftung Ferien im Baudenkmal
