Imagine sitting on an island, drinking tea in a large private garden. You can hear the river running behind you whilst looking at the architecture of a 12th century monastery.
Walking into your building you cross the threshold of old to new and it’s like walking into an architectural designed modern 5 star hotel. Class, clean and new amenities. Close the heavy curtains and you could be in any city in the world. It’s tasteful, warm and very comfortable.
Walk out the front door and you’re standing at the end of a private cul de sac. The lane way with large trees guarding the old stone walls. This land takes you 20 meters and you’re looking at a Michelin star restaurant and 10 meters from here a private electric gate onto the rest of the island. There’s a private park where local families gather and across one of the bridges is a fantastic bakery.
the other Bridges leads to restaurants and adventure.
This place is real and it’s in the culinary capital of Europe, Lyon.
The stay exceeded our expectations on all counts. The communication, check in, quality of the furnishings and the extra features were enough but the setting is truly enchanting.
The price was far cheaper then we expected and that was before the discovery of its setting. In this place you could literally spend a summer.
The host had tips for restaurants, places to see and a great knowledge of wine and the wine region.
Highly recommended.
Thanks for a magical stay!!
