Stunning Suite with a view!

Situated in the heart of Lavaux, this Suite is situated on the 1st floor of the main house. It has a double bedroom, a dressing space, a bathroom and a living room with a 180 degrees view over the vineyard, Lake Geneva and the Alps. Very nice hikes and walks in the surroundings. Et culture gems that shouldn't be missed, very close, like the Castle of Chillon or the Chaplin's World Museum, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, or the charming city of Vevey (5 minutes by car or train). Montreux 15 min. La Suite Lumière is the name of this space, designed for a couple, opened in May 2013. It is situated in the main building of a wine resort which is in the heart of Lavaux, famous UNESCO world's heritage. The suite in particular has an incredible 180° view over Lake Geneva, the Alps and the vineyard of Lavaux. It is composed of a double bedroom on the courtyard side, a bathroom with bathtub in the middle and a living-room with sofa and tv on the lake side. The situation is quiet. You're in the middle of the vineyards, living among the wine-makers, people who like to share and to have you appreciate their wine. One can have breakfast in the reception hall. There is a coffee machine, a kettle and tea-bags always available for our guests. Coffee capsules are offered, as well as cream and sugar. The garden in front of the flats is for our guests. It has a magnificent view on Lake Geneva, the Alps, France and the vineyards. The situation is quiet, in the middle of the countryside. The Chillon Castle is only 10 minutes away from here. In summertime, you can walk to the lake (5 min) and swim. A hop and you get to the beach of St-Saphorin Lavaux, or 15 minutes to reach the beach of Rivaz, the next village in the direction of Lausanne. The closest shop is in Vevey (10 minutes walk + 4 minutes train - one train every hour) or in Chexbres, that you can reach in 3 minutes by car. There are 3 restaurants accessible by foot in the area. One very fine and one very good and reasonable price in St-Saphorin Lavaux. And another quite famous italian restaurant is in the next village, 20 minutes walk from our place, in Rivaz. I will welcome you and give you advice about what to see in the close area, explain how the coffee machine works, tell you about how to join me if you need to, and how to go around by foot. There is a reduction pass coming with your room, for everything you'd like to visit in the area of Montreux-Vevey. If eventually I was not in the place, you'd receive all the useful information per email. There is a bottle of our wine awaiting you in the kitchen. There is no grocery store accessible by foot in the area. But there are 3 nice restaurants that we recommend. L'Auberge de l'Onde (gourmet, with reasonable price) and Le Café du Raisin, both in St-Saphorin. In the next village (20 min. on foot) is L'Auberge de Rivaz (italian restaurant, with great meat, fish, pizza and pasta). It is not necessary to have a car if you visit us. If you have a car, you can park it along the road in front of the main house of the wine resort. Free parking. Try to arrive with daylight, and take our GPS data. We'll give them to you per email. Otherwise, it is easy to take a train and arrive at the station of Vevey, where you'll take a taxi, that will drop you at Domaine du Burignon in about 5-10 min (for about 25.- chf.). If your luggage is not too big and heavy, I advise that you take a train to the station of St-Saphorin Lavaux, and climb up the hill to our place. No signs on the way. Just uphill and slightly to the left. You should see the house after 7 min. The path is incredibly beautiful (it's like taking off on a plane) and sincerely, at some places, very steep. Any normal person in a normally good health can handle it however. And then you'll deserve your stay :-) After arrival, you can easily come and go by train to Vevey, Montreux, Lausanne, Genève or wherever. The train station is 10 min walk from our place. If you don't walk easily or are somehow disabled with your legs, this place might not be convenient to you. Lots of stairs, lots of slopes. This is Lavaux!
