Säntis Suite

A guesthouse run by a farmer in the east of Switzerland offers a Säntis suite. Säntis is the highest mountain of the region and there are probably dozens of hotels and guesthouses that also offer a Säntis suite. The one I have read about recently is, however, a little bit special. It is actually located on a meadow some two hundred metres away from the guesthouse itself. It consists of nothing but a small wooden platform, an old fashioned wooden double bed, bedside tables and lamps. The really special thing: no ceiling, no walls, 24 hours of fresh air each day. Breakfast is served in the bed by the owner of the guesthouse. For this occasion, he will wear white gloves, a black bow tie, working trousers and safety shoes.

A little block house hosts the bathroom and serves as a shelter in case it rains.

Sleeping under the open sky is a nice experience, I recommend it. It's very relaxing if you can avoid artificial light the evening before. I occasionally do it in my garden, but without anyone serving me breakfast to my sleeping bag. In return, I am not charged 300 Dollars as in the Säntis suite.

Säntis Suite

A guesthouse run by a farmer in the east of Switzerland offers a Säntis suite.

Säntis is the highest mountain ofin the region, and there are probably dozens of hotels and guesthouses that also offer a Säntis suite.

The one I have read about recently is, however, a little bit special.

Or: "The one I have recently been reading about is, however, a little bit special."

It is actually located on a meadow some two hundred metres away from the guesthouse itself.

This sentence is good, but "actually" is redundant.

It consists of nothing but a small wooden platform, an old fashioned wooden double bed, and bedside tables and lamps.

If you mean that the "tables" and "lamps" are both bedside variants: "It consists of nothing but a small wooden platform, an old fashioned wooden double bed, and bedside tables and lamps."

If you mean that it has "bedside tables" and "(non bedside) lamps" then: "It consists of nothing but a small wooden platform, an old fashioned wooden double bed, bedside tables, and lamps."

The really special thing: no ceiling, no walls, is 24 hours of fresh air each day.

Or: "With no ceiling and no walls, the really special thing is 24 hours of fresh air each day."

Or: "The really special thing about having no ceiling and no walls is 24 hours of fresh air each day."

The grammar in the original sentence is slightly off, and I don't think that a colon fits this sentence very well.

Breakfast is served into the bed by the owner of the guesthouse.

I'm not completely confident in this correction, but it feels more accurate to say the breakfast is served "to the bed" rather than "in the bed." I think it is eaten "in the bed," but not served that way. Also, changing the sentence this way makes it consistent with one of your later sentences where you write: "without anyone serving me breakfast to my sleeping bag." ("to the bed" is more consistent with "to my sleeping bag" )

For this occasion, he will wears white gloves, a black bow tie, working trousers and safety shoes.

A little block house hosts the bathroom and serves as a shelter in case it rains.

Sleeping under the open sky is a nice experience,; I recommend it.

Or: "Sleeping under the open sky is a nice experience, and I recommend it."

Or: "Sleeping under the open sky is a nice experience. I recommend it."

It's very relaxing if you can avoid artificial light the evening before.

I occasionally do itsleep in my garden, but without anyone serving me breakfast to my sleeping bag.

I think "sleep" here sounds a little better than "do it." Also, the last "it" could potentially be interpreted as "avoid artificial light," so a reader might misinterpret the first half of the sentence as you avoiding artificial light, even if this is cleared up in the second half.

In return, I am not charged 300 Dollars as in the Säntis suite.
