Cari'Stay — Portalban

A retreat
between lake and reserve.

At the heart of the Grande Cariçaie reserve, 300 metres from Lake Neuchâtel, eleven studios where water, reeds and golden light tell a different way to stay.

The art of retreat

Inhabit the silence

Cari'Stay draws from the intelligence of the place: the slow breathing of reeds, the discreet lapping of the lake, the light that lingers longer than elsewhere. Each studio is designed as a refuge — minimalist, bright, attentive to small gestures.
