Our house is spacious, in a quiet residential neighbourhood seven kilometers from Lausanne city centre. Lots of country walks and cycle routes through the forest are also on the doorstep. A 15 min drive will bring you to Lake Geneva, where you can enjoy swimming and several beaches, as well as plenty of boat tours. If you prefer walking in the Alps you can reach Les Diablerets, Villars, Leysin in less than an hour. Two golf courses (18 holes) are very close as well as a horse riding centre.
We have a large garden that is very comfortable for outside eating in the summer with a BBQ. A vegetable plot and flowers beds will delight you (it’s my hobby). Our cat Muscade is completely independant and walks in and out through the catflap.
On the ground floor there’s an open kitchen, a dining room and a sitting area with a wood burning fireplace. On the first floor there’s a double en suite bedroom, one bedroom with a double bed and another bedroom with a single bed as well as a second bathroom with a shower and a bathtub. On the second floor there is a room with a double bed and a small independent kitchen. Our house is very convenient for a family with 3 children. We have already swapped it several times and people really loved it.
Lausanne is a nice small city with some important and interesting museums: le Musée de la Photographie de l’Elysée, le Musée Olympique, a brand new museum des Beaux Arts and l’Hermitage set in a lovely garden. There is a big and lovely vegetable market twice a week where you can find locally grown food.
