After a bit of trouble accessing the key, I sent a message to Maxime who quickly sent someone to assist.
We made our way to the attic room. It was spacious, well furnished and clean. It was also nice to have wine from the winery available in the room. The views were wonderful.
The kitchen had adequate equipment for preparing meals, and you should expect to bring any supplies you might need. Coffee pods were provided and there was salt and sugar in the pantry.
It’s a steep walk down to the lake, but very lovely. There is a small beach about a 15 minute walk down the hill.
We were disappointed that there was no AC despite the listing indicating that it is available. We specifically chose this location because the listing noted that AC was available. Other items in the listing that were not in the unit were: a clothes dryer, shampoo, or a Bluetooth sound system (I couldn’t find it at least).
Maxime did respond to my messages when I asked about the AC and offered a bottle of wine for compensation, which I accepted. Maxime also made an offer to try to source a portable AC unit the next day, but that did not materialize.
We walked into Bourgeois-en-Lavaux for croissants in the morning and realized that there is an Epicerie in the village at the top of the driveway if you don’t want to walk so far.
Overall, the unit was very nice. You just want to be aware that some of the amenities in the listing (as of August 16) are not in the unit.
