Villa Gerber is on Gewerbestrasse, in Thun, in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. The town, located where the Aare river meets Lake Thun, combines a medieval historic centre with a modern riverside area, where it is possible to swim along the river in summer.
Thun serves as a gateway to the Bernese Alps, with direct rail and road links to Interlaken and the Jungfrau region, while retaining its own historic heritage, with the medieval castle overlooking the town.
