Wow. The stay is all about the views and it does not disappoint. It’s hard to do anything but sit with a coffee or glass of wine and stare out on the vineyards, the lake, and mountains. The apartment is compact, but is bigger than it looks in photos. There’s a sitting area between the kitchen and bed. There’s also a nice privacy barrier on the balcony between its sister unit.
Andre is an amazing host. He offered suggestions in making our plans and helped with dinner reservations during our visit. We felt quite welcomed.
We found the location to be perfect. It’s at the heart of the Lavaux wine region where we could hike, taste wine, and, this year, see the Tour de France. It’s a challenge to drive thru the small towns and the roads and trails are steep, but it’s all worth it for the breathtaking experiences. It’s about a 10 minute (hilly) walk to Cully and it’s train station. We also made use of the included rail card to quickly get to Lausanne and Montreux.
