Mar & Vento is a very special place with a lot of heart and where we felt at home the moment we arrived and did not want to leave as we loved it so much. It has special authentic decor and special touches such as a herb garden if you want to cook and an outside terrace that you can enjoy a meal with views over the vineyards. Marine and Jules are lovely, helpful people who are very interested in their guests having a good experience and accessing and enjoying the local area. The bed is very comfortable and the shower is also very good which is important if you are hiking a lot. Mar & Vento is an excellent base to explore locally and the wider Lake Geneva area. The accommodation is in the heart of the village and a few steps outside the door is a terrace with the most spectacular views of Lake Geneva and the mountains and good to enjoy a glass of wine watching beautiful sunsets. Epesses and neighbouring villages are a delight to explore on foot through walking trails and you can find groceries in Cully about 15 minutes walk away. We enjoyed the local beach, markets, ferries and trains to nearby towns including Vevey and Montreux and train rides up the mountains during the day to return to wine tasting at night in the village.
