La Petite Chouette
A cozy cottage, suitably different, surrounded by forest and farmland, a 15-minute drive from medieval and modern Neuchâtel town.
Cozy cottage
We hope you’ll find La Petite Chouette (The Little Owl) both homey and a little out of the ordinary. The interior features intriguing art and fun decor (a few owls, included), as well as welcoming details, from the wood-burning fireplace and black wall you can draw on with chalk, to the fresh herbs on the porch, and the well-stocked bookshelves in both English and French.
Whether you're looking for a romantic escape, a quiet writer's retreat, or just a slower pace of life for a few days (or longer), La Petite Chouette is here to welcome you.
