DOMAINE DE CHATEUAVIEUX
This is one of our 2 favourite places to stay when we travel to Geneva and spend a couple of nights, in a distance of 10 km W from Geneva downtown.
The other one is at HERMANCE village in the other side of the lake, (AUBERGE D’HERMANCE), and we wrote a tip for it too…
Relaix & Chateux had long ago included this Domaine property in their well renown collection, and consists of a beautiful and elegant estate located on top of a hill, in close proximity to the Geneva Palexpo, and on a very charming & quiet countryside, surrounded by vinyards and horse pastures, which makes it all quite a highlight…
Peney is the nearest village, on the shores of the Rhone river. There is a little & homely restaurant, (CAFE DE PENEY) www.cafe-de-peney.ch which we love to visit for quiet dinners.
For those who wish to indulge at the own restaurant of the Domaine, beware same is listed as a Two Michelin Stars, headed by Philippe Chevrier, and recognized as one of the highest ciuisines in whole Switzerland. Whenever we have tried it for another quiet dinner, it has always been a heaven of heavens.
The rooms are classical yet very elegant.
The breakfast takes place at a cosy annex building and it is simply delicious to walk until there…
Starting the morning with a deep breath of fresh (& sometimes chilly) air, hearing the crunch of the pebble sand under your shoes, and all these little things that we love…makes you feel unwinded.
Last but not least, they have an amazing fresh mango juice (which is a well kept secret brand of the house)…
