Ilja and Deborah were the absolute perfect hosts! From offering to pick their guests up at the train station, to taking them food shopping upon arrival, driving them back on departure date... They could not do enough - and let's not forget all the goodies left in the refrigerator the first day. They were always available either by telephone or email throughout the stay.
The house was better than described: the pictures are very accurate, but what they cannot convey is the feeling of peaceful bliss one gets while sipping a cold glass of Fendant du Valais on the terrace overlooking the meadows, Lac Léman and the French Alps beyond. I think this is the closest I will come to experiencing Heaven in this lifetime (or the next).
The property has terraces to enjoy the sun, pastures with wild berries for the picking, a vineyard, and best of all, a dense forest with a small river running through it: perfect for meditating while listening to the constant sound of the water flowing through a series of mini waterfalls. Quite charming!
Lutry is an easy 20 to 25 minute downhill walk (take a taxi or public transportation to get back, as i think the hills get steeper on the return trip) where you will find an array of charming little shops, restaurants and, of course, the lake. You can take a boat from Lutry that will take you to other charming towns as well as France.
All in all, a very positive experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to unplug and enjoy a few peaceful days in touch with Nature.

Thank-you Deborah and Ilja!
