Fabienne's apartment is on the top floor of the house. It has two rooms of which one overlooks the lake and the Alps. This is the room I was in. The apartment also has a living room which is comfortably furnished with a couch, an armchair, a coffee table and a pliable writing desk. The living room also looks out onto the striking landscape the house is facing. There are also a well kept kitchen and bathroom within the flat.
During my weeklong stay I enjoyed my dinners on the balcony which is accessed from either the bedroom or the living room while also using the garden at the back when the sun was too strong to be able to sit on the balcony.
Fabienne is a wonderful host, she maintains a very clean and tidy place and expects the same from her guests which is something I found more than agreeable. She is very courteous and makes sure not to disturb when she comes in to prepare the other room for the new guests.
La Tour is a quiet place where I enjoyed swimming in some of the most clear and calm waters I have ever been in. The landscape is striking and changes frequently. I have looked over from my balcony to see weather ranging from clear sky to dramatic thunderstorms coming over the mountains in the background. The balcony is also pleasant to be on during the night because the walls and floor heat up from the sun and diffuse it at night up to late into the early hours so you can watch the moon reflect into the lake while it travels from one end of the panorama to the other.
Montreux, the Jazz Featival, Chillon Castle are within 20 min from here and the ski resorts at Chamonix are an hour and half away.
I wish I will visit again soon.
