Andre’s place is in the beautiful Lavaux region which is a UNESCO world heritage site. Possibly one of the most beautiful and idyllic part of the Lake Geneva region, you can easily spend the whole trip here.
Location: the location is amazing not only because of the beautiful vineyards that extend as far as eye can see, but also because of proximity to the highways. If you are planning to drive into the country, this is a great location and you can skip the traffic of Lausanne and Geneva.
Property: is frankly prettier than the pictures! The room is on a different floor from where the owner lives with a separate entrance. So you don’t worry about waking them up or disturbing them. There’s another unit right next to this which sort of shares the balcony; though there is a partition (it was occupied when we were there). The room itself is spacious and cozy with views from EVERY window! Even the bathroom! Furnishings are modern, the space is clean and very comfortable. Andre even left us an umbrella for rainy days. It really feels like a home away from home. But possibly the spectacular part of the property is the balcony! We spent a lot of time here. And the view never got old. Lake Geneva flanked by the Alps and the vineyards of Lavaux close by. It’s even more beautiful than the pictures! I would stay here if I came back to this region again.
Host: Andre is really lovely and very responsive. He is also very thoughtful. For instance he stocked the fridge with juices and waters, left some chocolates and even some nespresso and coffee maker. It was such a warm welcome after a long stressful flight! He also left us an umbrella as it was going to rain during the few days we were there which was extremely thoughtful!
All in all, one of the best stays we had in our trip to Europe! I would highly recommend Andre’s property and would stay here again if I came back!!
