- Location …convenient for Geneva or Geneva airportBeautiful settingGardens and flowersStaffNice breakfast Michelin Star restaurant on-site …looked great unfortunately did not get chance to try it.
- My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional! The breakfast was amazing, beyond description, though I would suggest adding a bit more variety to include dishes that suit Arab guests. The staff were incredibly polite, helpful, and attentive — special thanks to Cindy and Edgard for all their great support.The room was spacious (not just a suite), and I really enjoyed it. My children loved the place as well, especially being inside a farm with such a beautiful and relaxing view.I truly appreciate all the assistance provided and I’m definitely planning to visit again!"
Cons -
- Rooms need renovation. Believe at the end of season therooms and bathrooms will be refurbished. When renovated this place will be an ideal location for Geneva or Geneva airport.
- "The only thing I didn’t like was the presence of spiders in the room, as I’m not comfortable with insect”
- Ventilation in the bathroom was not the strongest.

Sleeping quality was excellent!!!All staffs were very kind.Breakfast adapted to our request.AC in the room, and the room was very clean.
Ventilation in the bathroom was not the strongest.
The staff was excellent and always made us feel welcome. We had a few special requests (a little birthday celebration in the room, borrowing a vacuum for our vacuum-seal bags, etc.) and they accommodated us without question.The chef at the restaurant clearly deserves the Michelin stars he has been awarded; the food was fantastic and they did not skimp on the portions either.
The only complaint I have about the room is that the beds were much firmer than I expected. They were much too hard for us. I'm used to boxsprings but the two beds available were both low on the floor and not the least bit soft. My partner ended up sleeping on the couch (which was incredibly comfortable).Everything in Switzerland is incredibly expensive compared to what we are used to, so that also includes the taxi rides to and from the hotel (a 15 min ride outside of the city). Keep that in mind when you visit.
It is a very charming place. We did not expect it to be SO beautiful. Also they have a very special restaurant there.Unfortunately, one guest left his dog in the room and the dog was barking. Because of this we had to wake up earlier than we wanted. The staff offered us a breakfast for free what was very nice and cheered us. Accidents can happen in every hotel, but a good hotel knows how to handle such situations. Good job ?
The building is beautifully renovated. It's clean. I gave the hotel a bad mark even though some things are very good because this hotel/pension is not at all suitable for a traveler who has work in the area or is passing through the area. The location is suitable for those who come for the restaurant. I don't want to be mean, to be honest, but there are many things that make you feel bad.
The hotel is isolated. The hotel restaurant is excessively expensive and the menu is deceptive. This location should not be listed in this system. You end up in a very embarrassing situation: to get up from the table when you see the menu, to pay at least 100 CHF for a portion of food, to try to order a common plate (menu) and then to understand that each person pays a full amount of a common menu. We arrived in the late afternoon, it rained and there was a storm and we had to stay in the hotel. Airplanes that take off over the property pass continuously. At night there are fewer. I don't think it is a suitable location for a traveler. This should be a suitable location for the locals who can come for this restaurant, knowing why they come and who can sleep a night there. The presentation of wines (which is included in the menu but which you pay separately) is at the level where they are told that the 3 wines presented are made by neighbors in village X and the type of grape from which the wine is made. For those who have been to several wine presentations (awarded or rated) the situation is very comical. The scene in the restaurant is daily.
Small intimate hotel in a beautiful rural setting. Delicious dining experience although probably the most expensive dinner of our lives.
It is a campaign hotel, with very good instalations.The restaurant is the best, fantastic chef, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service.
Beautiful location, an oasis of peace and calm. Superbly clean, ample parking, enticing terrace(s) and great views over vineyard. Don't miss a stroll through the herb garden. A nice touch is the (delicious) complimentary cake and cookie in the room upon arrival.
Overall, the place was fantastic although I would have given a higher rating for a better A/C in the room instead of the cranky, noisy retro-fitted contraption which was astonishingly bad and unusable during the night because of the noise (see photos). My stay was during a heatwave but thankfully it had cooled off during night. Neither did the in-room coffee machine work to which staff were indifferent and did nothing to find a solution. If you're like me and need a coffee first thing in the morning its really a very bad start to the day. I travelled with a pet and although the hotel is pet friendly, there wasn't much to make their stay more agreeable. No drinking bowel, no snacks, no basket, but worst of all, no garbage can(s) outside in any of the common areas where it would have been possible to dispose of "doggy waste" hygienically after taking the pet for a walk. Surely this is also in the interest of the hotel? This should be an absolute minimum. Breakfast was just "ok" with not as much variety as would have been expected from such an establishment. Neither was there anything warm such as eggs offered. (Single) staff member seemed to be rushed off his feet, leading to an excruciatingly long wait for coffee. Neither was a second coffee offered. Although some people who stay here might be insensitive to price, it felt as though breakfast was grossly over-priced for the variety and service received which was, sadly well below par. Some of the staff came across as being somewhat aloof. Particularly unfriendly was the gentleman in the gourmet store where he made you feel like an intruder, made no effort to smile nor explain any of the products or wines in an understandable manner when asked. I had gone in to buy a couple of cases of wine but decided against it.
the location and grounds are amazing, on arrival the staff was super friendly and showed us to our room, the room was a decent size, large bed, and very clean. Breakfast the next morning we ate outside, which was beautiful with so many flowers, the breakfast buffet was lovely, everything fresh and excellent quality products, service was excellent and so was the coffee. We will definitely stay here again.
We did not have any complaints
Great experience. The location is very nice, surrounded by trees and wine yards, very beautiful view on the Rhône river. The hotel is surrounded by gardens, terraces, green spaces, there are flowers everywhere. The main building is surrounded by smaller ones and alleys, which means guests do not run into each other. There was plenty of space in the room and in the bathroom. A cake, biscuits and drinks were offered in the room. Great breakfast. Free parking just in front of the hotel. The staff is exceptionally helpful. Pets welcome.
Everything is perfect, from localization (charming small building in a provincial valley) to comfortable rooms and impeccable service. Every detail is thought of for the well-being of the guest.
No complaints
the location, the view, the restaurant and the staff
the beds were a bit firm but the amazing pillows compensated
Superbe location in the middle of the vineyards, Only 10km from the Palexpo/ airport. Excellent breakfast with a personal en super friendly service. Nice little shop for spices, wines and local food on the premises. The restaurant of the hotel is a michelin star restaurant, yet unfortunately our program didn't allow us to have dinner there. The room is well equipped and confortable. One additional advantage of the location: one can avoid traffic congested Geneva.
Nothing in particular. Maybe one note: with the airport, being convenently close, so is the landing strip. Some noise from airplanes is therefore unavoidable.
Picturesque, a bit old style hotel in Geneva country side, very popular with local people, with a famous Michelin star restaurant.
Great location and ambience. Very friendly and helpful staff. Superb food. Immaculate room with great attention to detail
The staff routinely turned on the heating in the room during the day - which made falling asleep a little harder
We booked late afternoon after our car broke down and we needed to get to a service centre nearby early the next morning. Despite arriving in the middle of their busy dinner service, we received a very personal welcome - the head chef happened to see me waiting, and came and help us find somehwere to park! That really set the tone of the place - relaxed luxury I would say. The room was large (with a couple of offered snacks) and must either have been sound-proofed or the other guests very quiet... we thought we were the only ones staying there until the lovely breakfast in the courtyard the next morning! It was a cold buffet with a wide selection - all the usual things you'd expect, plus some interesting additions - everything was very fresh (actually, except my husband's coffee), and tasty. As we were waiting for the car to be fixed, we had time to walk around the area a little - they have a terrace out the back with a lovely view over the vines which you can walk down through on a footpath sign-posted from the car park. You can also sneak a peak at their varied fruit trees and herb garden. The floral displays in the courtyards were also very nice. I would definitely go out of my way to return there - hopefully in time for dinner next time, since having seen the care with which the place is tended, I am sure the dinner would be beautiful!
The only negative: a pull out bed was provided for my 11 year old daughter, which wasn't clear on the booking,com website. It was comfortable but inevitably less comfortable than an actual bed. The pillows were so amazing though that she was happy as larry lying on top of one!
Beautiful property, with stunning gardens and courtyard. welcoming and helpful staff; great breakfast. We stayed here as close to the airport and wanted a treat - it was.
Strange pillows (1 huge, 1 normal and 1 tiny) meant the bed looked very pretty but wasn’t very comfortable to sleep in!
cozy and charming
the room was incredibly hot, the bed very low and not comfortable, the bathtub was corroded and it didn’t look appealing
