Niezwykłe miejsce. Hotel z historią prowadzony przez fantastycznych ludzi. Cudowny klimat typowy dla Szwajcarii w przepięknej okolicy. Jedzenie na najwyższym poziomie. Koniecznie należy próbować coś z hotelowych specjałów. Na każdym kroku czujesz powiew historii na doskonałym poziomie. Własciciele zaopiekują się Tobą w bardzo rodzinny sposób. Parking przy obiekcie.

Wszystko było fantastyczne.

Familiär und gute Lage, hat Spass gemacht
Pros:

Sehr gut. Self Service beim Frühstück mit lokalen Produkten. Das Abendessen war gut, Bestellungen werden vor 18 Uhr aufgenommen. Es ist sehr familiär und keine internationale Kette. Das hat uns persönlich sehr gepasst. Die Lage ist gut, mit dem Zug müssen etwa 600 Meter zu Fuss zurückgelegt werden.

Cons:

Persönlich war es für uns top!

Great stay 4 nights Historic Hotel du Pillon
Pros:

Enjoyed staying here. Good breakfast included, and dinner is available. Also there are good restaurants a few minutes drive in Les Diablarets. Wonderful views of mountains and town of Les Diablarets in the valley. Hotel Pillon is historic, family-run. About 12 rooms. Our room 10 is corner with 2 balconies. Good location for visiting Bissee Torrent du Neuf, Fribourg, Aigle, and Glacier 3000. Note: no elevator. Altitude of 1,200 metres (3,900 ft). No AC, but not necessary at this altitude. Stayed late-May / early June for 4 nights. Was pleasant during the day and cool at night. Would welcome the opportunity to return.

Un séjour enchanteur dans un hôtel historique au charme alpin suisse, avec une vue imprenable ...
Pros:

Un séjour parfait au cœur des Alpes Suisses

Un immense merci à Francis et Carla pour leur accueil chaleureux ! Cet hôtel historique est un véritable havre de paix : chambres pleines de charme, literie confortable, et une vue imprenable sur le glacier depuis la terrasse. La cuisine maison est délicieuse. Ajoutez à cela une ambiance familiale et authentique… Je recommande les yeux fermés et j’y retournerai avec grand plaisir !

Un peu d’histoire : l'origine mystérieuse du nom « Diablerets »

Ce nom intrigant puise ses racines dans les légendes locales. Autrefois, le village s’appelait « Le Plan des Isles ». Mais le massif qui le domine inspirait la crainte : des éboulements fréquents faisaient croire aux habitants de la vallée que le diable s'amusait à leur envoyer des pierres, d'où le nom « Diablerets ». Une autre légende raconte que les pâturages se seraient transformés en un paysage de roches et de glace, où les diables tenaient sabbat, et que le fracas des pierres était celui de diables jouant aux quilles. Ce n'est qu'au début du XXe siècle que le hameau fut officiellement renommé « Les Diablerets », en référence à cet hôtel fondé en 1856.

Pros:

O hotel é histórico e bem cuidado, fundado em 1875. Os quartos são bem espaçosos. Água bem quente e camas confortáveis. Os donos são muito gentis e prestativos. Há um cupom de desconto de 20% no Glacier 3000 (pega no hotel, então melhor não comprar antes). Melhor café da manhã de hotel e melhor fondue.
