About this property

Castle In The Vineyards - flat for 2

A flat for 2 people overlooking Lake Geneva and the Alps, located in a vineyard in the heart of the Lavaux vineyard terraces, famous World Heritage Site recognized by UNESCO. Just 10 minutes by car from Montreux (15 by train), 20 minutes from Lausanne, 45 minutes from Geneva airport, a base for excursions in the Alps. 5 minutes by foot and you reach the lakeshore where you can have nice swims in summertime, or visit a charming ancient winemakers village surrounded by vineyards (St-Saphorin Lavaux). Breakfast on request, not included in the price of your night.

This flat, called "Suite Lac", is on the upper ground floor of an old renewed house with 2 apartments for guests. It has a magnificent view on Lake Geneva, the Alps, France and the vineyards of Lavaux (famous wine terraces, UNESCO Word's Heritage). The Suite Lac Lac (upper ground floor) counts 1 bedroom with 2 beds (separated or held together) and a living room with sofa and tv + kitchen, toilet & shower. If you choose the Suite Lac, you will have your shower, bathroom-sink, toilet, and your own totally equipped kitchenette (oven, stove, fridge, sink + pans and dishes for 2).

There is a nice garden in front, with lawn, where you can lie down on a deck chair weather allowing, or eat outside (tables and chairs at your disposal). The beds are made when you arrive. Bed linen and bath towels are included. The cleaning of the flat is also included in the price. Our guests are simply expected to wash their own dishes and glasses and put them back where they belong before check-out.

In case you don't need a kitchen, we also have a suite, called Suite Lumière, made for a couple, with a double bedroom (2 additional adjacent bedroom are available so it can welcome a total of 6 people, but they all would have to share the same shower room and 2 toilets) and a dressing area, a bathroom with bathtub and a living room with sofa and tv with coffee machine, kettle, fridge, that has a wonderful 180 degrees view over the vineyards, the lake and the Alps. This one doesn't have a kitchen and can also be rented for less than 3 nights. It is in the main building of the resort, and offers more space.

You can at any time have a bottle of the wines made in Burignon. They are proposed in your accommodation as a minibar. There is a great terrace in front of the main house where we serve our wines. It's a winebar, open between May and September, from 5:00 to 9:00 from Thursday to Saturday, sanitary situation & weather allowing.

The situation is quiet, rural area, in the middle of the vineyards. Nice walks on easy paths to discover this fantastic man-made landscape, granted UNESCO world heritage site. Great trekking, hiking or mountain biking trails a bit further in the close mountains.

The Chillon Castle is only 10 minutes away from here. The Chaplin's World as well (an incredible museum hosted in the very house where Charlie Chaplin lived the 20 last years of his life). In summertime, you can walk to the lake and swim in it. It will take you less than 5 minutes to get to the beach of St-Saphorin Lavaux by foot, 15 minutes to reach the beach of Rivaz, the next village in the direction of Lausanne. The next shop is in Vevey (10 minutes walk + 4 minutes train - one train every hour) or there're 2 grocery stores and an excellent bakery in Chexbres, that you can reach in 5 minutes by car. There are nice restaurants in the area. One very fine and one good and reasonable price in St-Saphorin Lavaux. And another restaurant with a nice terrace is in the next village, 20 minutes walk from our place, in Rivaz (or 5 min. by car).

You can easily arrive at our place by train (Vevey train station and then take a taxi to Burignon). Once arrived, with no luggage or just a small backpack, the train station of St-Saphorin Lavaux will be yours. You can walk from there to our place and vice-versa on a very beautiful pathway leading you through the ancient village and through the vineyards. It's a great 10-15 walk, but quite steep... That's why, if your luggage is heavy, we would advise that you choose the train station of Vevey upon arrival, where a taxi can drop you within 5-10 minutes at our place. Drivers, you can park your car down our house, along the main road, and you can park in the Domaine's courtyard to unload your luggage more easily.

Le Domaine du Burignon (name of our place) is a small paradise. On sunny days, you can lie on deck chairs in the garden, go for nice walks around our place without a car, have a glass of wine on the terrace. One thing is clear for all our visitors : it would be a pity to stay just for one night !

We have a baby-travel-bed you can borrow on request. WiFi, TV, independent entrance, garden, terrace, children can play in the garden, you can buy and drink wine, since you are among winemakers. Pets not allowed. Smoking not allowed, except outside the buildings. On request, a rich breakfast is served in our reception hall for 16.- chf / person.

schöne Tage in den Weinbergen
Ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt, sowohl was die schöne Umgebung, den abendlichen, zumal hauseigenen Wein im Garten oder die gemütliche Wohnung bei Regenwetter betrifft. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Amazing views
This property truly places you in the midst of the vineyards on the Montreux Riviera. Access to the castle by train works well especially if you like a bit of a hike up the cobblestone path. We would definitely stay again.

Blissful Stay in the Vineyards!
Anne was very accommodating and helpful both in the planning and check-in and stay at Domain du Birignon. The flat that we stayed in was comfortable, clean, and peaceful. We will definitely return!

Magnifique
La maison est située au milieu d'un paysage unique de pentes raides avec des vignobles astucieusement et intelligemment plantés et entretenus. La maison - partie d'une maison plus grande - est un étage avec une chambre à coucher, salon, douche, une kitchenette et une belle terrasse / plate-forme. Toute la maison avec un autre étage pour les autres clients est derrière le bâtiment principal du domaine. La terrasse de la maison offre une vue sur le lac et les montagnes au loin. C'est merveilleux de marcher dans les environs immédiats. Il y a beaucoup de villes intéressantes à proximité telles que Vevey, Cully, Lutry et Villeneuve. Le point culminant est le château de Chillon qui peut être atteint par une excursion en bateau de Vevey. Nous étions dans la maison pendant quatre jours. Beaucoup trop court. Il y a tellement de choses à voir et à expérimenter. Fortement recommandé!

About the host

Hosted by Anne Bussy & Maureen Wavre

Host profile image
Bonne vivante et adorant voyager, je voyage désormais sur place à Lavaux, en accueillant des hôtes de passage dans le domaine viticole où je vis avec mon compagnon, qui est vigneron. J'aime partager du vécu. Je suis sensible à la préservation de l'environnement et je souhaite faire du Burignon un modèle au niveau du respect des ressources naturelles. J'aime le Léman, je fais de l'aviron sur son eau, j'y nage lorsqu'il est chaud, je fais du ski (pistes à 30 minutes de voitures de chez moi) mais je préfère la peau-de-phoque et la raquette, j'aime la marche en montagne et... le vin, forcément. Mon plaisir est de permettre à chacun de faire connaissance avec la région magnifique dans laquelle nous vivons, de faire aimer son vin, les vins suisses, et de faire comprendre la vie des vignerons.

Why they chose this property

Luc is a winemaker. Anne was a journalist. We decided to run this wine resort as a common family business. We live here with one of our kids who already is an adult. Apart from making the best possible wine (Luc's business), our goal is to make sure that our guests have the best possible stay. And it's working pretty good :-)

What makes this property unique

A stunning view over the vineyards of Lavaux (Unesco world heritage), Lake Geneva and the swiss and french Alps. Quietness, close to many activities and attractions in this lovely part of french-speaking Switzerland. Only 2 hours from Zermatt, 1 hour from Bern, 20 min. from Lausanne. We're in the middle of Lavaux, a UNESCO world heritage site since 2005. Our wine terrace is a treat in summertime. You can swim in the lake at 10 minutes walk from here. And ski in Leysin or even closer at 25 minutes.
