We were thrilled to be staying in the "old town" part of Cully, on streets (and in an old building) with lots of charm, lots of character -- and just 2 blocks from the lake. The fact that the room was more than just a bedroom, with a couch and chair and coffee table made a difference. We also liked being able to use the kitchen for simple things. Nicolas offered the use of their washer, which was a huge help after being on the road for 3 weeks. We enjoyed a glass of wine with Gilliane and Nicolas and their friends in the wine cellar of their epicerie, a fun memory from our time in Cully.
