Melanie's cheery hello and kind hospitality was exactly what we needed after a long flight and train ride. Her guest apartment is one of the most spacious we have seen on our travels, and located very close to an absolutely charming little village called Perroy which you can stroll to easily.
If you need to get to her home by public transport, bus 846 from Rolle train station can drop you about 10mins walk away (bus stop "Perroy, Couronnette"), but check the schedule as the bus only comes once every hour.
Once we had unpacked our luggage in the appartment we walked back down into Rolle through vineyards and along the lakeshore. It's a beautiful half hour walk when the weather is nice!
This is the place to stay if you want to be away from the city crowds, but still close to the lake and a train station. Here there is fresh air, a family-friendly neighborhood, and a good night's rest.
