Perfect place to stay in Vieux Lyon! It’s beautifully decorated and cozy, the bed is super-comfortable, and the view is unbeatable!
Three windows open onto a panoramic view of the city and you can also sit on the terrace leading into the apartment and breathe it all in. We were there in mid-October and it was still warm enough to sit outside in morning and evening. Note: we also dined outside every night. Highly recommend the nearby Cafe au Soleil!
Laure adds sweet touches like coffee pods, chocolate biscuits, and jams. Most evenings we brought home bread and cheese and started the next morning with breakfast at home.
Also, the the giant claw-footed bathtub is spectacular. 100% guaranteed to loosen your muscles at the end of a long day of exploring!
There are two types of folks who may not groove on this place:
-the 170+ stairs are no joking matter. They’re steep! So if you’re looking for a place you can jump in and out of throughout the day, this may not be your best choice.
- Also… that gorgeous claw-footed tub is right in the main living space. And the toilet is separated by just a sliding door (which is a bit persnickety about closing all the way).
That said… those steps are the reason you get that spectacular view! And romance trumps modesty in my opinion.
I think this is the best place to stay in Vieux Lyon. It made our week extra-special and I recommend it to anyone seeking a truly romantic week in France.
